Influences First and foremost, our primary influence is Allah (God) and His final Messenger Muhammad of 6th century arabia (God's peace and blessings be upon him). Of course our parents Umar and Jamila Al- Khattab who are by far our biggest supporters. May Allah bless them with the infinite luxury and comfort of the highest level of paradise. Ameen.

Also a lot of early jazz musicians have influenced our music. Musicians like Leon Thomas, Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, Yusef Lateef, Thelonious Monk, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, John Coltrane and many others.

The Sonz of the Crescent was one of the first Muslim Hip Hop groups to emerge out of a generation of young Muslims growing up in America. The founding members included Joshua Salam who later formed Native Deen, Yaseen Al-Khattab, and Faisal Khatri. The group has reformed with one original member Yaseen, and one new member, Muaath to add another explosive component of prolific constructive energy, enhancing the sound and substance of the original group.

Yaseen Al-Khattab is a lyrical master and profilic producer of Hip Hop. His style has elevated beyond what is expected in the Hip Hop world. Yaseen has produced a variety of Albums which include: Sonz of the Crescent: Whats the Word? (co-produced), MYNA RAPS 1 & 2 (co-produced), Seen and Kareem, E (Unit-E), Kayo, Sonz of the Cresent 2, and SOCs upcoming album "New Beginnings".

Muaath Al-Khattab is Yaseens younger brother who observed Sonz of the Crescent develop from its early stages. He absorbed the positive environment and moral thought provoking lyrics Yaseen, Joshua, and Faisal zealously projected to Muslim and Non-Muslim listeners alike. Now married with a daughter, Muaath Al-Khattab joins the Hip Hop ranks of his older brother in the quest to use rap as a tool to give dawah to Non-Muslims and also to remind and uplift the Muslim Ummah. Muaaths style is rugged and concentrates on exposing fallacious rappers who use misleading content.

assalam'un alaykum sisters and brothers,

aid mubarak !!!

islam-rap-project needs musician to recitate the holy qur'an

welcome to rap4islam.
we want to recitate the holy qur'an in english in a rap-version.
the holy qur'an has 606 pages.
it is easy to understand that i am not able to do it alone.
i want you to help me, help the people who can't read and
help yourself by doing good things.
this project is non-comercial.
first we need musicians which would like to rap.
you don't have to be a star or a perfect rapper.
you might be also a soul or funk musician.
you can also be a friend of my friends.
it is open for everyone.
so tell it everyone.
after having enough musicians
you choose a sura (a part of the holy qur'an) to rap.
for this we all will use the same translation
of the holy qur'an in english.
if more than one person or group wants to rap the same sura
we will find a solution together.
insha'allah we will reach it soon as possible
to transport the intelligence to those who need it.

if you or a friend would like to rap the holy qur'an
please send a message to me.

please send this comment to all your friends!

peace be upon you!

"Indeed whoever neglects adab is deprived of the Sunnah, and whoever neglects the Sunnah is deprived of the fulfillment of their religious obligations, and whoever neglects the fulfillment of their religious obligations is deprived of the good of the Hereafter."
Imam Burhanu'l-Islam az-Zarnuji (Ta'limu'l-Muta'allim Tariqa't- Ta'allum)

"Knowledge is certainly universal and timeless but it has a social and cultural stamp. It also has a purpose and a commitment to a particular worldview. It therefore cannot be neutral."
(The Late Doyen of African History, Islamic Scholar, and Prime Minister of the Sokoto Sultanate, Waziri Junaydu ibn Muhammadu al-Bukhari, d. 1996)

Salaams and Eid Mubarak from Yusuf al Fodiawa, Jama’at of Shehu Uthman dan Fodio

Waziri of Sokoto, Junayd ibn Muhammad al-Bukhari once said,
"Whoever does not inform his children of his grandfathers
Then he has destroyed his child, marred his descendants, And injured his offspring the day he dies.
Whoever does not make use of his ancestry,
Then he has muddled his reason
Whoever is not concerned with his descent,
Then he has lost his mind.
Whoever neglects his origin,
Then his stupidity has become critical
Whoever does not cause his ancestry to be abundant
Then his incompetence has become great.
Whoever is ignorant of his lineage
Then his intellect has dissipated.
Whoever does not increase his place of descent,
Then he has abolished his honor."
