5.0 out of 5 stars authentic sufi music at its best, June 1, 2000

By	ozge (United States) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful collection of sufi music. It starts with adhan, the call to prayer, then continues with recitation of the Qoran and the invocation of Allah's names. The chants are beautiful and it concludes with prayers on the Prophet Mohammad(peace be upon him) together with the story of his birth in Arabic. I loved this CD especially for the dhikr (invocation) and the salawat-i sharifa (prayers on the Prophet). The whole CD is one big prayer to God chanted with humility and joy at the same time. It's a transporting experience. I recommend it to both muslims and non-muslims, to all those who would like to get a taste of Islamic sprirituality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellence is a virtue, May 27, 2001

By	Umar A. Hassan (Marina del Rey, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent CD. The highest production values were maintained throughout. From the adhan to the end of the CD, I was enthralled. The reciter is obviously well trained and inspired. This CD has absolutely no weaknesses. Everyone interested in the traditions of Islamic mysticism will be thrilled to own this recording.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense and full of rapture for all ages, December 30, 2002

By	Mikhail Ali "perpetual student / accidental t... (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is relatively easy for adults to have an appreciation for this form of dhikr(remembrance); what is interesting is that since receiving it, the melodies within this CD were so enchanting that my 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter have been sneaking it away to their room to listen to it on their own. An incredible experience, really, because obviously even children can recognize when people make incantations that are honest and from within one's soul.
