Not that it's a competition but here is another version.

[Abuz Zubair]

The crappy quality nasheed that comes from the heart is no match to the best quality nasheed recorded in some Air-Conditioned room in Kuwait using the most expensive equipment and the best studio one can get.

No match.

[Abuz Zubair]

Any idea who it is, btw?

[MosDef]

lol yes im sure the brother would sound better with todays equipment.

According to the poster of the video it is Muslim Brotherhood prisoners in jail during the time of Sayyid Qutb (r).

[waziri]

The crappy quality nasheed that comes from the heart is no match to the best quality nasheed recorded in some Air-Conditioned room in Kuwait using the most expensive equipment and the best studio one can get.

No match.

Akhi dont you mean the best quality nasheed recorded in some air conditined room in kuwait using the most expensive equipment and the best studio one can get is no mach for the crappy quality nasheed that comes from the heart ?

[MosDef]

How can a nasheed that comes from the heart be crappy hey? :)

[Abuz Zubair]

BHLI^W"TGF^

yeah.. whatever... you know what I mean ;)

[waziri]

How can a nasheed that comes from the heart be crappy hey? :)

Its the sound quality that is crappy and not the actual nasheed but I think the poor sound quality gives it extra character

ps is the link I posted working?it works for me but I want to know if ts working for everyone else.

Its a great nasheed straight from the heart.

[MosDef]

I agree Br Waziri. Maybe its the speakers that dont.

You need to upload it somewhere Waziri otherwise it wont work.

[Abuz Zubair]

You know... I always liked Abuz-Zubair al-Madani's nasheeds, such that I began to hate other nasheed artists, including his brother, Abu Usaid.

Abuz-Zubair's first ever nasheed album was qawafil al-shuhada. It was home made. Crappy recording. But it was original. Even the genre of the nasheed was not at all like the usual ones available in the market or what people usually like to listen to, like Palestinian nasheeds (hey, hey! - yalla ya rijaal! some of them even sound country!)

He was a legandary artist who paved the way for other innovative artists like himself. Not only the style of his nasheeds were different but the lyrics were also so real... You can tell its coming from someone who's been there and done that. It was full of emotions. Amazing piece of art from an amazing artist.

Unfortunately, that was the only album he could produce, because he later went to Bosnia and got killed in '92. And since, I don't think anyone has replaced him - not even his brother in spite of a number of qawafil al-shuhada releases. Abuz-Zubair's qawafil al-shuhada produced a whole new geneartion, and this is what successful art does.

But if you listen to the tape, you wouldn't but notice the poor quality.

[MosDef]

You should upload it somewhere! So we all can have a listen.

[Abuz Zubair]

I believe it is on IslamWay somewhere

lol... 90s... good 'ole 90s, eh?

Those were the days to be remembered for many reasons, and to be forgotten for many other reasons. Life moves on...

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

[waziri]

Ukhti Niqaabis most of that stuff is only relevant if you live in america but if your from the uk I dont think you would be able to relate to most of that.

[Abuz Zubair]

I think the whole think depicts more US 90s than UK.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.Coming back home straight after school to watch Tiny Toons and Bad Influence.

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.Not really... I used to get a free ticket to buy school meals.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence . . . not Kind of... It didn't last long, though.

when cops and robbers was a daily activity.Not in the UK... We're more like vandals, unfortunately.

when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.Thank God, NO.

when we used to obey our parentsal-Hamdulillah, we still do.

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.LOL, that's true.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.Yeah... I always wanted one, but could never have one :(

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"In the UK, everything was Wicked!

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.I remember buying my first computer ever from a car boot sale. Huge black 086 with 64Kb RAM, no harddisk and two 5 1/4 disk slots, with a small TV as the monitor.

And Windows 95 was the best.Actually, my computer world started with MS DOS 3. Back then, it was a novelty to get one's hands on Windows 3.11, which we had a school.

The old dollar bills. Stuff the dollars, but we used to have huge 50p coins... but no £2 coins... Oh.. I remember the coppers I used to save in a jar. Sad memories.

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night. I hated homework and projects.

Nirvana more like Oasis and the rest

2 words....Spice Girls*vomit*

and when all you had were barbie boyfriends/girlfriends ...now you have real onesWell, we talked about wives... and now we not only have them, but have grown rather old.

You can name everyone in the Backsreet Boys and *NYSYNCWhere's my vomit bag? Oh, here it is *vomit*

You remember when Britney was innocentOh really? This is one thing I cannot remember!

I hate thinking about the past. al-Hamdulillah its over.

[Milk Shaykh]

Did anyone here love school dinners, or is it just me? Chocolate cake and custard. Mmmm!

[Niqaabis]

Ukhti Niqaabis most of that stuff is only relevant if you live in america but if your from the uk I dont think you would be able to relate to most of that.

Yeh you're right

when we used to obey our parents

Times have really changed..

Alhamdulilaah for the teachings of islaam

[justabro]

I remember buying my first computer ever from a car boot sale. Huge black 086 with 64Kb RAM, no harddisk and two 5 1/4 disk slots, with a small TV as the monitor. Actually, my computer world started with MS DOS 3. Back then, it was a novelty to get one's hands on Windows 3.11, which we had a school.

I think I got my start with a 386, but my father had been buying computers since before microsoft and DOS. Actually, come to think of it, he had bought my brothers and i a commodore 64 to play video games.

I was weary of 95 when it came out. same with 98... same with xp... and now im refusing to get vista, might even consider switching over to mac

more like Oasis and the rest
I remember when my best friend was into Oasis, before getting into other stuff. I thought he was on crack, especially when he started being into Tupac.

Well, we talked about wives... and now we not only have them, but have grown rather old.
lol, same here (well, maybe not the bit about being old)

[Abuz Zubair]

yeah... My Dad had bought me Sinclair ZX81. It took AGES to write 10 pages BASIC program to play something as silly as hangman, that's if you didn't have the program recorded on an audio tape!

[gag order]

the muslim brotherhood version of ghuraba said with the conviction so lacking in people with comfortable lives. i sensed a certain pride behind the fear of his inevitable fate that left me deeply touched and with a renewed sense of grievance at those who wish that we just withered away..

[WM]

I'm older than I thought!

Memories: The 90's!

You're a 90's kid if:


You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ]
baby!


You remember watching:
-Doug- yup
-Ren & Stimpy- yup
-Pinky and the Brain (One is a genius the other insane)- yup
-AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!- not sure
-Rockos modern Life.- yup


You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ."- "on a playground is where I spent most of my days", I think.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
- too lazy.


You remember reading "Goosebumps"- definitely!


You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.- Man Utd. Man, was I dumb.

"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.


Captain Planet. He's a Hero.
- I actually remember an episode of that involving AIDs. And they were pretty mean to oil companies.


You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"- 3 was rubbish. Everyone knows 2 was best.


You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.- yes, but I never succumbed to that craze.


You remember those Where's Waldo books.- over here it's 'Where's Wally'.

You remember watching:
-Aladdin
-Ninja Turtles
-3 Ninjas movies.
(yes to the above- last one sucked big time)

You played and/or collected "Pogs" - yup

When it comes to tamagotchi...I was a negligent father.

[MosDef]

the muslim brotherhood version of ghuraba said with the conviction so lacking in people with comfortable lives. i sensed a certain pride behind the fear of his inevitable fate that left me deeply touched and with a renewed sense of grievance at those who wish that we just withered away..

Yep it was "deep"

But if you listen to the tape, you wouldn't but notice the poor quality.
What do you think about Abu Ali or the iraqi monshid Al Ansary?
I kinda like their nasheeds.

[Abuz Zubair]

After Qawafil al-Shuhada... I was put off everyone else, really.

[Nooristan]

You're a 90's kid if:


Those were non muslim twenties, I used to watch all that t.v even the Saturday morning stuff,lol.I am so not ashamed,great t.v days.

p.s.. nice post,made me smile. jzk

[MosDef]

Khalid Yasin. Masha'Allah brilliant

[Abu Sabaya]

I would add to that list, if you was 80/90s child you would have probably watched the following on a saturday afternoon:
the Ateam
Knight rider
Airwolf
MacguyverOh, you know it.

Best episode of MacGuyver was when he stopped a nuclear reactor from exploding using Hershey's chocolate bars. Brilliant man.

[Abu Sabaya]

He was never able to kill Murdock, though.

[Milk Shaykh]

In the A-team, how come no one ever got shot?

[Abul-Fadl]

Murdock??.....no way.

Sure murdock could land anything but macgyver was something else, i mean the guy disarmed a missile with a paper clip! how do you top that?.

but with the A-Team colonial smith ran the show, people gave mr T too much credit.

[justabro]

I would add to that list, if you was 80/90s child you would have probably watched the following on a saturday afternoon:
the Ateam
Knight rider
Airwolf
Macguyver

I loved every one of those shows : ) ... although I didnt see as much of the A-Team... I think I missed some of the years it was on the air because I went to Pakistan for two yrs before coming back to America.

MacGyver was amazing. Even when they started showing reruns a couple of years ago, I couldnt help but watch when I would get the opportunity on occasion, and I found I still enjoyed the show as I did when I was young.

[just a guy]

In the A-team, how come no one ever got shot?

i think murdock was shot onced....but he made a phenomenon recovery right after the commericial break! :D

but what about mario brothers (1,2 &3)

or mixing kool aid with sugar in zip lock or sandwhich bags and everyone sticking out there hands for a taste (i think this was only in US)

or everyones favorite, chicken patty or chicen nuggets for lunch at school...mmmmMMMM

[Nooristan]

Oh, you know it.
Best episode of MacGuyver was when he stopped a nuclear reactor from exploding using Hershey's chocolate bars.

Now thats just some madd white boy style right their,who said we cant jump?

All I say is "Bird" and not another word shall pass these lips.......

[WM]

memories...eh?

[gag order]

yeh, this thread has been hijacked by nostialgic memories....

[trojan-hunter]

Oh, you know it.

Best episode of MacGuyver was when he stopped a nuclear reactor from exploding using Hershey's chocolate bars. Brilliant man.

erm...just on a side note (Abu Sabaayaa/Zubair) sorry for going of the topic - I know in general we shouldn't be watching this kind of stuff (I kow it was in the past) 'cos of the music,alien women etc. etc. and generally 'cos there aint no benefit for the believer - but could any of the stuff that usually comes in shows like this such as people having super powers, being psychih etc. come under as mockery related to the Deen and we accepting by watching - I mean generally apart from the obvious what come sunder mockery - I'm asking 'cos my bro watches this news eries called 'heroes' and people in it have psychic abilities etc. and just wanted to warn him if its dangerous to watch.

which you may have heard before

[Farhan]

I did a search for Ahmed Ali Ajmi on youtube, and it seems he's sang other anasheed whilst being interviewed too.

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIRCVTVIlz4) is one of them, I think it's Farsi.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5bDZdXsuWk)is video of him reciting Qur'an with Mishari Rashid sitting with him.

[nomad]

yeah... My Dad had bought me Sinclair ZX81. It took AGES to write 10 pages BASIC program to play something as silly as hangman, that's if you didn't have the program recorded on an audio tape!

assalamu alaykum,

you sound like my big bro, we would always hear a really loud screetchy noise coming from his room, where he was loading a program for about 5 mins into the zx80, and he would write some crappy progamme for me to learn spellings. (that wasnt the 90s though, that was the 80s deffinately!!)...And if you remember Tizwas (with all those custard throwing people, you are an 80s person)

90's kids in my area means you went to exodus every weekend, and you know what 12" s are. And we really didnt know what islam was!!!!! Alhamdulilah I made it through, and Allah guided me.
