Throughout the decades and civilisations of Islam, the vocal tradition, sometimes known as nasheed or devotional songs, were penned as a way of celebrating and giving thanks to Allah for the message of Islam, as well as for the Messenger himself. The blame lies in them, and not with it just as the sun cannot be blamed for the sick eye’s inability to see its light.
