The Nasheed Factor Semi-Finals in Glasgow raised the spirits of our brothers and sisters that attended!

The venue was jam packed with the public hungry and eager to see some spiritual talent! The audience were electric, saying takbeer everytime someone performed fantastically, and booing the judges for their negative comments!

The atmosphere was surreal, the emotions were running high and we were in full swing of spiritual showbiz by the end of the night.

Youth qiraat and adult qiraat went first respectfully, making the audience emotionally feel what the true beauty of our life is, and that is the word of our creator.

Break arrived where everyone faithfully read their maghrib salah and started munching away on some excellent asian food and yummylicious cupcakes!

Then the heart of the night arrived ............. Our recognition that all of this of charity ......

Our brothers Rizwan Muhammed and Amjid Bashir from Radio Ramadhan took to the stage and stormed the audience and got them right into the spirit of donating money for charity!

Alhumdulillah a 4 figure sum was raised from just 150 people! The final total raised from the whole Nasheed Factor production will be revealed on the night of the finale!

Emotions ran high when video clips were being played of the appeal which is the One Safe Village, where hospitals, schools, houses and education is provided to families in Africa.

Shahbaz Mirza the founder of Nasheed Factor said "at that point of the whole night, tears rolled down my eyes because I realised and recognised why the team has spent the past 18 months of their lives on this production ..... It is for the sake of these people who dont have a voice and currently don't have a future."

Back to the competition, and the nasheed category lit the roof on fire!

Our host Akif from awazfm was quite the character when it came to contestants performances giving an amazing light entertainment aspect to the show.

The youth and adult nasheed category stirred controversy over the judges comments with some booing from the audience and shouts from the audience supporting the artists!! What a night that was!

The Nasheed Factor Glasgow Semi-Finals was a major success alhumdulillah.
