Song 1 (Adhan)

Tharek Ali Mokbul

Not Being Preachy… (I believe there is no Compulsion in faith)

I thought I would share something close to me.

When my father was born, he had these words recited into his ear by my grand father.
This was the first set of words I ever heard when my father recited them to me when I was born.
It was then the first set of words Saul and Ethan heard when I recited them to them at birth.

It is Traditional to Recite the Islamic call to prayed at birth in our family.

This Reminds me of the first Moments I spent with my Sons in the presence of my God.

Music in Islam is a clear subject for me, though some Muslims feel it is prohibited.

This is sincere Psalm played for my Lord.
I mean no offence by it.

Peace
