Many Christian songs are well known to most - from the Hallelujah choir to Silent Night to Jesus Loves the Little Children and dozens more.

Anyone know any traditional popular Islamic (Muslim) religious songs?
 
I cannot name any, but have heard it on a number of occasions. I never heard any I wanted to hear again.
 
Moderator's Warning:
(Sigh). Okay folks... this thread is in the Religious Discussion Forum. Civility towards all faiths is required; all faiths are protected from egregious religion-bashing or uncivil criticism that could be construed as Baiting, Trolling or Flaming. Yes, Islam is protected just like any other religion.

As a Baptist, I resemble that remark. :D

Jk, I was once a Baptist myself. It was a lot different back then. The last Baptist church I was in was about 3-4 years ago, and I wouldn't have known it if someone had not told me.
 
I've heard plenty of music from Muslim cultures. I don't know if the topic of the music was religious or not, but it sounded quite nice. I like some of the instruments they use.

There's really no culture in the world that didn't create music and very little of it is objectively bad merely due to cultural origin.

Heres something from Turkey

Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
Azrael's (*) intent is the soul, believe me (Know that the Angel of Death seeks your soul…)
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

All birds wake up before dawn
They start reciting God's names in their own tongues
Mountains, rocks and trees declare It's unity
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

They open the doors of the heavens
They sprinkle the water of Mercy upon believers
They cut out garments of Paradise for those waking up at dawn (*)
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

This world is transient, don't ever be deceived
Don't rely on the crown and throne in vanity
Don't feel confident by saying "the seven climates are mine"
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

Forgive me, your mortal servant Murad
Excuse my offenses,abolish my misdeeds
Resurrect me under the Messenger's flag
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

Don't know who wrote the lyrics origionally but it sounds like Rumi, will look later when i can be bothered. I'm a convinced atheist myself but i cant help liking this kind of thing, then again i have the same problem with Bach :mrgreen:
