Nasheed Factor creating hype!

It's absolutely amazing, Alhumdulillah, everywhere the Nasheed Factor team are going - we see there is already some hype and buzz about Nasheed Factor! We have people thinking about nasheeds, artists, their meanings and Islam - as well as the contest itself.

After attending a nasheed concert in Birmigham (the Evening of Inspiration), it has confirmed to us that there definitely is a space for a contest such as Nasheed Factor to take place. We described it as a "Muslim X Factor" - a light hearted and fun way to perceive Nasheed Factor. But it is definitely more than that! It incorporates the need for charity and helping poor people as well as giving our youth a platform to showcase their voice and deen. And in another blog there are pictures of Native Deen supporting Nasheed Factor as well.

The team attended many events such as the Lifestyle show and Shawlands Mela. We have had a positive response and much valuable feedback. With one lady saying "I was just telling my son that we need something like this, it's brilliant."

We are planning to attend a dinner in Edinburgh - Palestine dinner, and here we hope to be inspired and touched by everyone. Coming together to help for a good cause really does make all the difference and that is the spirit with Nasheed Factor.

Something made me smile today, a young man from across the world in another country has asked to participate in Nasheed Factor - if we had magical transportation powers we would definitely want him on board, but for our semi finals and grande finale - the distance would be too much for him. But inshaAllah going worldwide would be a goal for the future. For now, Scotland wide it is.

And indeed, compassion is very important.
