About Me

"All for You" Music Video Premiere!

..

Noor's journey began over eight years ago when four friends were asked to perform at the opening fundraiser for an Islamic school in Riverside, California.


Noor has shared the stage with internationally known artists such as Ustadh Muhammad Abu Ratib and Sami Yusuf. These artists and others have helped make traditional nasheed mainstream by producing high quality songs with classic, wholesome lyrics and music. Noor, alongside these pioneers of modern nasheed, aim to offer Muslims around the world a hip Islamic alternative to standard commercialized music with the release of their first album, All for You.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/1/2006
Band Website: www.noorification.com
Band Members: Bassem Al-Rashidi, Muneer Adhami, Mahdy Amin, and Tarik Jalanbo
Influences: Arabic traditional folk-lore nasheed, Abu Ratib, Imad Rami, Sami Yusuf
Sounds Like: Take an evolutionary journey through nasheed as we bend the traditional styles and create a unique and modern sound, merging the spiritual melodies of the East with the vivid musical pieces mastered by the West. The best of both worlds fuse in a mixture of poetic harmony, an auditory celebration of Arabic and English vocals entwined with percussion, string, and wind instruments, brought together by the common thread of faith and the love of God and His final Messenger (PBUH). Past, present, and future come together here and now to birth a new measure of sound for the discerning listener, a tranquil experience of mind, heart, and soul.
