Nasheed Factor gains further popularity! Alhumdullilah
Assalamo Alaykum to our Dear Fans!
Ramadhan Kareem!
We hope you are reaping the benefits of this blessed month of Ramadhan. May Allah swt bless each and everyone of you and accept your fasts!
The Nasheed Factor team bring you some more exciting news. As you know the prestigious event held by Islamic Relief and The Well Foundation in July really spurred things for the Nasheed Factor Project. Alhumdullilah we gained an immense amount of support which was overwhelming. This has put Nasheed Factor on the platform as being one of Scotland’s most anticipated Islamic competitions. We thank our fans and team for the support gained and inshallah continue to receive.
So the best part- what was this huge promotional launch which made people laugh, sad and think about the message being portrayed?
The Nasheed Factor Movie 2012 has been released! An exciting showcase of the project itself in the form of a role play. Featuring a comical performance, 2 very contrasting song performances and a story behind it all!
Our team members: Shahbaz, Akeel, Afia, Bushra, Sherin and Usman imitated the very well-known ‘The X Factor’ with an Islamic twist. The idea was to show to the audience that the applicant, who set out to sing Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, had a voice for a much better cause. An opportunity to sing nasheeds to voice concerns on humanity and praise Allah swt. The applicant- Shahbaz returned the next day having been told he was at the ‘Nasheed Factor’ and not ‘X factor’ stunned the audience and judges with his nasheed- ‘For the Rest of My Life’ by Maher Zain. The applicant had reflected on his singing the night before, and discovered he had a voice for singing nasheeds which can send out a positive message.
The role play at the end also features video blogs from a number of famous nasheed artists such as Native Deen,Khaleel Muhammad,Outlandish & Shaam! They shared their thoughts on the Nasheed Factor and encouraged people to help in the cause. So we hope that this short entertaining drama has instilled passion into our fans and prompts them to listen and sing alternatively to the ordinary music being endorsed. Nasheeds, naats and Qiraats are the new and exciting way forward to strengthening your deen and making a positive change, inshallah.
So since the month of Ramadhan is upon us, we would like to wish our fans the best. This is an exciting time for applicants to brush up on their vocals and show to the Nasheed Factor team and the rest of Scotland, their Islamic talent blessed by Allah swt, inshallah.
Jazakallah Khair
