Beautiful Arabic Song: « آمنـتٌ بِاللَّــــــــــہ » («I Believe in God») Posted by on Jun 1, 2012 in Arabic Language, Culture, Vocabulary

 

Properly speaking, what you are about to hear is not a “song.” 
It is called in Arabic أُنشُــــــــودة (or نشيـــــــــد, when a bit longer) and can be translated as “hymn” or “religious song”

This post’s unshuda is quite beautifully sung.
It can be appreciated by Muslims and non-Muslims alike; native Arabic speakers, new Arabic learners, and even those who don’t speak a word of Arabic!
