Via Seekers Digest:

cambridge khutabs etc featured khutbas and other talks by Sh. Abdul Hakim Murad, among others.  Coolness.

And, playing follow the linkage, I stumbled upon this – Muslim Songs of the British Isles.   You can download/print out sheet music for a variety of english songs with muslim themes.  Coolness times 2.  I’m all over this.  Despite the husband coming from a musical family, I don’t think he knows how to read sheet music.  I think it’s time to change that.

Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!

This is quite possibly the first country song that I’ve ever liked:

Meh, a not very articulate piece on music’s place in muslim culture.

Also, on NPR’s Morning Edition last year, and a good piece from PRI’s The World.

Music video with Zain Bhikha, Dawud Wharnsby Ali and Abdul-Malik of Native Deen. I’m glad to see more muslim music video, and Dawud is just hilarious. The look on his face while he and Zain sing the chorus is priceless.

(Clip from Farenheit 911)
Awootho billahee min shaytaan nirrajeeme bismillah hir Rahman neer raheem
(Athaan)
This is one’s for all my brothers and sisters who died in Iraq, Israel,
Afghanistan and right here in America (Jesus Walks)

Abraham Talked
Muhammad Talked
And Moses split the sea
(Jesus Walk with me)
I ain’t tryin to profit of the prophets so this one’s for free

G’s up along with Muhammad and Jesus
In the Quran they call him Isa
Don’t think Osama and sadaam are is our leada
We pray for peace, but the drama intrigues us
All, so we fall for the illusions of the beast
So instead of tryin to teach we show our teeth
Saying God, different beliefs
Hijabs, Sunday clothes, yamika, kufi, same mission beneath
We all tryin to get to where the sufferin ends
In front of the Most High bein judged for our sins
Can front for the Most High, so the struggle
Continues
You, every bird, bird and tree, me, her and me
We virtually on the same boat
With the same goats, on the same sea
Tryin to stay afloat, and put the devil in the yolk
With a couple of God’s quotes
