Nasheeds about Palestine.
Seven nasheeds about Palestine, al-Quds and steadfastness, from Maher Zain and Ahmed Bukhatir to voice-only pieces about holding firm.
Our top pick is Al-Mutawari's voice-only O Era of Deadly Silence, a nasheed against the world's silence over Muslim suffering. The best-known nasheeds about Palestine include Palestine Will Be Free by Maher Zain (with an official vocals-only version), Al Qudsu Tunadeena by Ahmed Bukhatir, Nasheed Al Quds by Lotfi Bouchnak and Palestine by Omar Esa.
Al-Quds in the Muslim heart
Al-Masjid al-Aqsa was the first qibla and the destination of the Night Journey (Quran 17:1). Nasheeds about Palestine are prayers as much as songs: for its people, for patience and for justice.
Labels: Voice only means no musical instruments. With instruments tracks are included because they are loved, and we note where an official vocals-only version exists. From Aswati picks are released nasheeds by our own munshideen, Abo Nidhal and Al-Mutawari, and you can play them right here on Spotify or Apple Music.
