Mashari Rashid Al-Afasi - Classic Nasheed
Mashari Bin Rashid Al-Afasi's version of the most well-known nasheed: Tala' al-Badru 'Alaina. A beautiful rendition with an excellent video.
A calming serene version of the best loved, best known nasheed, by our dear shaykh Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy. May Allah reward him for his efforts.
طلع البدر علينا
Tala‘ al-badru ‘alaynā
Oh the white moon rose over us
من ثنيات الوداع
Min thanīyātil-wadā‘
From the valley of al-Wadā‘.
وجب الشكر علينا
Wajab al-shukru ‘alaynā
And we owe it to show gratefulness
ما دعى لله داع
Mā da‘á lillāhi dā‘
Where the call is to Allah.
أيها المبعوث فينا
Ayyuhal mab‘ūthu fīnā
Oh you who were raised among us
جئت بالأمر المطاع
Ji’ta bil-amri al-mutā‘>
Coming with a word to be obeyed
جئت شرفت المدينة
Ji’ta sharaft al-madīnah
You have brought to this city nobleness
مرحبا يا خير داع
Marḥaban yā khayra dā‘
Welcome best caller to God's way

Story behind the song
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), when he first brought Islam to the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, he was mistreated and rejected. Some believed in his message and accepted Islam; they were brutally tortured. After some time, he and his people made the Hijrah, or migration, to the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The message had spread and the people of Medina had become Muslim. They were very excited for him to come because they’d accepted a way of life (and religion) and they were about to live in the presence of the Prophet that brought it once again to mankind (after Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc.). As he and his people entered the city, the people of Medina sang this song to welcome him, and it’s lasted for fourteen hundred years in our hearts.
