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:

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.

@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.

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.



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
