Nasheed

A nasheed (Arabic: نَشِيد, romanized: nashīd, lit. 'chant', pl. أَنَاشِيد, anāshīd) is a work of vocal music, partially coincident with hymns, that is either sung a cappella or with instruments, according to a particular style or tradition within Islam. Nasheeds (or anasheed, the plural in Arabic) are popular throughout the Muslim world. The material and lyrics of a nasheed usually reference Islamic beliefs, history, religion, and current events.
