Song 1 (Adhan)

[OsCKilO]

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

 I love the one guitar double vox. Sounds amazing and thanks for the lesson and words of wisdom. I am always curious on different faiths. There are so many and I find most interesting. Great song my friend!

This was very beautiful!  I don't see how anyone could take offense by this, but the world is a crazy place, I guess.  Thank you for sharing this very personal piece with us!

It's a lovely peaceful song. Are these the words that are sung at the call to prayer at sunrise?

I agree with Dave, you have become a great orator. Powerful stuff.
