Hamd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Hamd (Arabic: حمد) is a poem or song in praise of God. A hamd is usually written in either Arabic, Persian, Punjabi, or Urdu. Sung hamd can be found in qawwali performances. Hamd comes from the Qu'ran which Muslims believe is God's word. It is equivalent to the word "Praise" in English language. "All things praise you (Allah)" (Quran)

Hamd is sung all over the Muslim world from Indonesia to Morocco. However in the past few years, Pakistan has been the hub for Hamds.

Some well-known hamd singers are Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, along with his nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the Sabri Brothers, and Qari Waheed Zafar.

Modern English singers of hamd are Yusuf Islam, Sami Yusuf and the quintet Aashiq al-Rasul.
