While many Arab pop singers are too busy making music videos about their failed love and long lost lovers, Awakening Record, the England based reputable worldwide company had different stories to tell. Awakening Records works exclusively with Muslims artist making music with a purpose. Sami Yusuf, the popular mega star recognized worldwide for making Muslim themed songs hip again. Other Stars include Hamza Robertson, and now Maher Zain. Maher Zain recently released his album “Thank You Allah” a Lebanese who immigrated to Sweden with his family at the young age of 8. Maher has released a music video that has been called the Worlds first Palestine animated music video and it’s quite interesting to watch. If the quality of the video, and the comments on the video were any indicator of his success, I think Maher is up to a great start. I like the mature nature of the animation and the intense and dramatic atmosphere the music video creates. I do feel that the song originally was written in Arabic and then translated into English, but that did not take away form the sad story that is being told.
To hear samples of “Thank You Allah” album, here is the promotional video form the Awakening Records company
I realize that some might protest the concept of Islamic music, or even the concept of a Muslim superstar, sort of those Christian Rock and Gospel music, but this is a trend that is actually is starting to take shape in the Arab and Muslim World. There are reports of a number of Imams in countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait who release music albums dealing with subjects like Palestine, marriage and even President Obama. Clearly like everything in life there is always a mix of cheers and jeers, but a good song is a good song. Awakening Records might take the advise of the Washington DC based Muslim band Native Deen as they sing “Not Afraid to Stand Alone”
