Harmonia Alcorani: European Gleams of Islam - Anthem of the Prophet ﷺ

This is a reimagined version of the Anthem of the Prophet ﷺ composed by the British-Muslim group, Harmonia Alcorani. The edit is meant to capture the majesty that the European Gregorian tradition captures in order to profess and convey the majesty of God and the sacred.

Many European historians hold that knighthood (Futuwwa) was something that had been transferred to Europe through Muslims and see it as an Arabs’ contribution to European culture.

As a fellow Arab let me tell you that you are falling for the erroneous notion that Islam can be detached from its Arabian origin. This is not something that ever lead to anything good when it was adopted. The earliest manifestations of Persian nationalism paved the way for the Safawis’ defacement of what was once a great country and a great people who made innumerable contributions to Islam.

That is what Islam is meant to do, all peoples, their likes, desires, cultures and aspirations cannot be the same, and hence the flavour of Islam that you see there cannot be the same as well.
