Grain Mills, Hamd Operated grain mills survivalcenter.com |
A Hamd (Arabic: حمد) is a poem or song in praise of Allah. A hamd is usually written in Arabic, Persian, Punjabi, or Urdu. The word "hamd" comes from the Qu'ran, which Muslims believe to be Allah's word; its English translation is "Praise". Hamds are sung all over the Muslim world, from Indonesia to Morocco. A Qawwali performance usually includes at least one hamd, which is traditionally the first song in the performance. Some well-known hamd singers are Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sabri Brothers, and Qari Waheed Zafar. Modern English language singers of hamd include Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens), Sami Yusuf and Nusrullah Khan Noori. 'Hamd' is also used extensively in Christian religious music from India and Pakistan and all over the world where people from this region are found. 'Hamd' is not the exclusive domain of any religion. As pointed out - it denotes praise to a deity, it is more extensively used in the Muslim world. It is usually used in conjunction with the Sanna and referred to as 'Hamd - o - Sanna'. [edit] See also[edit] External links
