Sufi Night in Canada: English Chanting, Dhikr & Poetry in the Toronto Area | Beautiful Nasheeds

Описание: English Sufi nasheeds praising Allah and honouring the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in a sacred poetic rhythm. Filmed live during a gathering with many beloved shaykhs—including Ali Elsayed, Shelby Haque, Dawud Surillo, Taras Hollyer, Nicholas Hussein Jaussaud, and Omar Bin Dagher—held in the presence of visiting poet-scholar Jason Idriss Sparkes at the Zawiya of our esteemed host, Shaykh Nezar, in Mississauga, Canada (November 2025).

These call-and-response chants follow the classical Sufi style: each verse is sung, and the entire zāwiya responds with the refrain after every line.

Inspired by the Qur’an and Sunna, the lyrics express tawḥīd, Divine Love, and praise for the Beloved ﷺ through English Islamic poetry and sacred chant.

The melodies vary, from blues-inflected dhikr to traditional rhythms from Sudan, Morocco, and al-Andalus. Just voice, drums, heart, and presence.

صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَىٰ سَیِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
Allahumma salli ʿalā Sayyidinā Muḥammad
