This nasheed is sung by Zain Bikha. Beautiful song Masya Allah... with beautiful lyrics Masya Allah.. very creative, very meaningful and especially a good one to start teaching your kids about Islam..

anyway, sometimes i just wonder, how do people get inspiration to write a song?.. Arwah bak wrote some, Abg Azim also do... not nasheed though... well, even though i am somehow 'berdarah seni' :) but i just cannot imagine how people do this stuff... but i do appreciate their effort...

i think everybody loves to hear music.. it is our fitrah.. well maybe i should not call it music.. maybe i should call it melodieous rythmic or something... but it is up to oneself to decide what kind of 'music' that they want to hear.. the basic is still the same... a melody, add some musical arrangement, put some nice lyrics... voila... if the melody is accompanied by gedegung gedegang macam nak pecah rumah.. with lyrics that is ntahapahapantah... then just forget it... but if nice melody, with nice percussion arrangement, with nice lyrics that amar maaruf nahi munkar.. oklah kan..

ok i don't have that much time to spare here... it 5th of the month... it's reports time... :)

have a blessed ramadhan ahead!

p/s - Semalam ayah tanya mama apa impian ramadhan mama? Apa impian ramadhan mama? hmmm...
