Acoustic Nasheed @MAC

Today, the u3kulele group joined by school's nasheed team had successfully performed an acoustic nasheed, first ever kind of performance in our school or perhaps first ever in primary school πŸ˜‹. 

The idea of combining nasheed and ukelele came during the practicing session where some of u3kulele boys were nasheed group members, like Haziq and Kuchai. The problem happened when both team had the same practice time. U3kulele need to practice for Majlis Anugerah Kokurikulum and nasheed team need to practice as well for Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang which happened to be on the next 2 weeks.

So, instead of causing more trouble I suggested why not these u3kulele boys together with the nasheed team members perform an acoustic nasheed. I volunteerly offered to train these kids. Ustazah Zulaiha, the nasheed teacher agreed and she helped me a lot for the nasheed performance, especially in preparing the costumes for these boys.

Ustazah Zulaiha suggested the Ya Badrotim song and I suggested the evergreen song of Hukum Tuhan, made popular by Al-Mizan group, for the second song. It was hard for me to find the uke chord for these two songs, so instead I made up the chord myself. The boys were talented, Alhamdulillah, so they were able to grab and played well withuin the period of two weeks. 

Being a nasheed lover myself, my intuition of making these u3kulele boys performed some nasheed songs was to ensure that these boys appreciate some islamic songs which will in turn nurture their hearts and soul. These kind of songs also will somehow reminds them of Allah SWT, the Prophet SAW and their religion. This also at the same time give message to others that these kids were not just able to play some usual songs but rather they could play some nasheeds as well. 

Alhamdulillah, everything went fine and these boys nailed it! I had received some good comments from others as well. The boys even said that our ustazs and ustazahs were enjoing the performance.  So now, everybody is happy. I am so glad that they were able to perform the nasheed songs. May this small act of da'wa brings goodness to others and these boys as well. InsyaAllah 😊 | MHM
