  • Something's missing at the end (?)

  • Thanks, you are talking about the real-time music? Yes, I know, but top the right is the warning of that ( Ishmael (part) ). This song has 13 minutes and 51 seconds and I only in youtube got close to 10 minutes available per song (sorry my bad english)

  • Anyway, I think that the sound of the music and the "sound of the words" are very beautiful and an infinite depth meditation

  • awhile ago I heard the track on radio,

    a spiritual midnight broadcast or so ... at the time I didnt know who/what the track was, though I knew of ibrahim/ dollarbrand already. Now that I came across your mini-picture-movie I know it and tracked down a copy of his 1987 album "banyana" which contains 2 versions of the track but none of these seem to be the version u have used in the picture.

    Can you help and let me knwo on which album it appeared ? Or where you got it dwnld from ? much appreciated

  • Ok, no problem. Album: ABDULLAH IBRAHIM, Africa - Tears and Laughter, by ENJA RECORDS, Reccorded March 11, 1979, at Studio Zuckerfabrik, Stuttgart, 3. Ishmael - time of music (13:46)- Abdullah Ibrahim, Talib Qadr, Greg Brown, John Betsch.

  • I've loved this song for 30 years and I'm not even Muslim.

  • Beautiful! Abdullah Ibrahim I a great musician. Have you ever heard his (with Carlos Ward, too) album "live at Sweet Basil's, Vol. 1"? Incredible. It is out of print. I have been looking for it for years. I had it on a cassette .... long gone.

    Some music can change your life. Thank you for posting this.

  • @Rauskucker The first two parts (Sura Al-Fatiha, Ayat al-Kursi) are phonetically transcribed and translated on:

    sufism.org/society/salaat/ayat­s/kursi.html

  • i realy LOVE this deep resonanz from a wonderful exotic land far away (almost for a european:)

    In our western world we have lost all this old traditional style. OK a bit like the gregorian chants, but... yes BUT. Never the same.

    This is enormous wonderful. and also so modern jazzy.

    o' please, let'-we en-join/share-enjoyments-of any-such Beautifulled Rhythmic-'Armonic CELEBRATION due AL QURAN, astakhfirullah.

    what could be awronged- by such an TRANSCULTURAL-HONOURING, as this Song be.

  • وضع الجزء الآخر من هذه الأغنية الأكثر ممتازة ، لأنها غير مكتملة

  • Beautiful!..Thanks!

  • wonderful, I am not a religious man but this is just stunning...like a funky call to prayer! sorry if any offence caused, it wasn't meant to! peace to all

  • @kcollinsart just found a promo COPY of the album after i saw he clip on here. there is no vol 2.

  • @bibiafrica You're right :) Alhumduiallah this is great piece here..the best I have heard. And besides at least its not degrading. 

  • @mitiwie

    Could not agree more...

  • Astakhfirullah... This is so wrong...

    I hope you all know that the first part is a chapter of the Quran... Chapter 1 to be precise. And the second part is also from the Quran, chapter 2, verse 255. And at the end he is saying some prayers.

    I don't like the fact that it is combined with music. Quran should not be combined with music.
