Singing and Anasheed
Anasheed are songs or chants without the accompaniment of
instruments (except the duff).
"In pre-Islamic and early Islamic
history, anasheeds involved wholesome poems (about
battle victories, wisdoms, courage, etc) chanted in
an un-orchestrated fashion without the accompaniment
of musical instruments, except for the duff (similar
to tambourine but without bells or cymbals) which
was legally permitted for women on special
occasions. During the 2nd century after Hijrah,
chanting of du'aa, remembrances, crept into the
ummah by the innovations of the mystic Sufis who, in
turn, took it from the Christians."
from " A Look at Anasheed, by Saleh
As Saleh"
Are anasheed permissible today?
Read about some issues pertaining to performing anasheed as well as
a fatwa from Shaykh Uthaymeen in the article " A Look at Anasheed"
by Saleh as Saleh (http://www.understand-islam.net/Articles/ALookatNasheed.pdf)
Learning Activities:
1. Read the article and answer the following questions:
-
Define the word nasheed. Its plural is anasheed.
Look up the word in an Arabic dictionary and write it as well as
the plural.
-
What were pre Islamic and early Islamic anasheed like? What were
their subjects?
-
What is the duff? See if you can find pictures online or in
books of the duff.
-
When did changes in the early Islamic anasheed began to take
place, according to the article?
-
The author makes 15 observations on the anasheed of today. List
them in brief phrases.
-
Overall, what position does Shaykh Uthaymeen take on the
permissibility of anasheed today? Write the sentence you
feel gives his verdict.
-
What are the two conditions he gives for listening to anasheed?
-
Why should we not get into a habit of listening to anasheed
according to the fatwa?
-
What is better to listen to than anasheed?
-
Not from the reading: When is it permissible for
women/children to sing?
2. Do you know of/listen to any anasheed? If so, do you feel,
based upon what you have read, that their content and performance is
permissible? Why or why not? Give proof to back up your
position, either from the fatwa or elsewhere.
There is also a statement from Umm Abdillah (daughter of
Shaykh Muqbil) on the issue of using anasheed for learning
purposes which I hope to post or post a link as well, insha
Allah. If you are a member of
IHSU yahoo homeschooling group for sisters, this
is in the message archives.
Thanks for stopping by TJ.
