Shout-outs from Fresno! Califaztlan! From Hashid Kasama! Stay up on that Ibada! No more drama, flip the sentence with a comma! InshaAllah we gonna stay on our salats, life's a jihad to stay on our rakats, gotta stabilize the mind, the spirit in the rhyme, on time, openin' up our eyes, to see the fitna in these times, to protect our people, shout-outs to Off Balance, cuz we cuttin' the tracks like Havoc! Feel the Static! These rhymes are automatic

Assalaamu aliykum,

Some of what they speak is true but they seem to have some misguided beliefs and anger. Why attack someone like Sh. Hamza Yusef? Because he did as he should and gave Bush a Qur'an probably making dua the Bush would become Muslim by Allah's will and stop insanity? These guys are the idiots of Islam. They talk a lot of talk, but where are they with their action?

Wa salaam.

nah I dont like it, the lyrics just dont fit on these kinda overplayed, played out beats and the same melody as 100000 other songs and then singin about things that are so standard, its like he singing about eatin, I took one bite and the another and so and so.

DOA!

Death of Autotune.Please..

I'm going to be honest, when I first heard that this brother sang "Islamic" R & B I couldn't help but laugh but when I heard Tyson was on one of his songs I said "let me give it a try" and I have to say, I'm glad I did. Ma Sha Allah this brother Farid is really good and I pray that Allah ta'ala continue to bless this brother. The question I would like to ask is where can i cop his CD cause this kid is nice?

2009-06-14T13:17:41.584-07:00

this is what is shown daily to people about us muslims, now its used in the opposite way and collected and compressed in one video. Its a song, they have collected clips and they've used a stereotype muslim singin in a reggea form! Those are three positive forms and expressive forms of expression.

its hard and very confronting, what do you want a heal the world song evrytime so people be nice to us?

Some things like declare war and stuff i dont agree with, but they didnt create these warimgaes themselves, they are made by the media and the ones that portray us in a negative way are shown everyday and the ones that show how much muslims are hurt well very rarely.

And its music! creative outlet!

Salaam,
Although many of the things mentioned in the song may be true, some parts like the part about the world trade centres and the video as a whole, are very disturbing. How do we expect to teach non Muslims, especially in the west, about Islam, if this is the type of thing they see from us. We need to stop this behaviour and follow the path of our Prophet (sas).
