Qad Kafani - w/ sh. Tawfiq al-nouri

After working on this selection of songs for six and a half years, I'm incredibly excited and grateful to be able to share them with you.  This album reflects a significant growth for me, as a singer and songwriter.  Combining my lyrics with those of my teachers, and drawing on diverse musical genres from Jazz, Blues and Hard Rock, to Arabic, Indian, Turkish and East African music, I have pushed myself way out of my comfort zone into unfamiliar genres and completely new territory as an artist.  I hope you enjoy listening to them even more than I did composing them, arranging them, and recording them.

15 - Supplication For Rain (WATER, rel. 2015)

Poem Of Imam Haddad By Sheikh Yahya Rhodus & Habib Ali Jifri

Poem Of Imam al Haddad - Ya Alima Sirri Minna

The Nasiri Dua is from the pen of the renowned Susi Shaykh of the Shadhiliyya Tariqa. Shaykh ibn Nasir (d. 1085 AH) was a Shaykh of instruction who made an important impact not only on his time but ever since through his baraka(blessings), his learning, his writings and the great Zawiya(the Sufi place of worship) and Madrassah (Muslim School). His Zawiya in Fez became the fountainhead of the national awakening which led to the liberation of the entire Maghrib from French colonialism. Faced with the massive military strength of France, its trained and technologically equipped army as well as its air force, the ulama (the Muslim Scholars) recognised that in military terms there was no chance of victory. It must be remembered that during this time French planes were indiscriminately bombing and machine-gunning those villages and settlements that resisted the occupation. The French bombing of the Moroccan Muslims was the model which the fascist forces of Germany and Italy were later to use in the bombing of Guernica and, then, across Europe. It was in this situation that Shaykh ibn Nasir adopted his position of the most powerful resistance to the enemy. He created a Dua (Supplication)  which adhered to an uncomprimising Tawhid (The oneness of Allah), and at the same time that it declared the Muslims' utter helplessness, it confirmed the absolute, unrelenting and inescapable power of Allah, glory be to Him. He then embedded this declaration of absolute dependence in the luminous and dazzling confirmation that Allah, glory be to Him, was the Answerer of supplications. The Shaykh, being the true voice of the Muslims, called Allah, glory be to Him, to rescue the Muslim people from the tyranny of the French hordes. In the shortest time the Dua swept across the Maghrib until it was being recited in almost every Mosque. The decadent French provincial governors began to sense that a new wind of defiance and hope was lifting the Moroccan people into a pride and defiance they had not seen. Despite the alcoholism and depravity of the French High Command their intelligence forces quickly traced this new spirit to the recitation of the Nasiri Dua. In desperation they informed Paris of this new problem. An order came from the President of France authorising the French forces to issue an edict banning the public recitation in the Mosques of the Nasiri Dua. When news of this reached the ulama and Sufis in the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez their hearts overflowed in recognition of The Nasiri Dua that conquered the military might of France. So it was that , from that day, an inspired people moved inexorably to independence from the French, and the restoration of a Sharifi kingship. What was the position of the Maghribi Muslims in the face of the occupation is now the position of the world's Muslims in the face of that tiny oligarchy which has swept aside national and international law, while deliberately bringing about the destruction of the planet in their ruthless control through the wealth of commodities, media and the usury finance system. It is important that the Muslims spread this Dua until its reverberation undermines the foundations of the current tyranny. It is not, however, a pyramid letter the spreading of which alone will secure success. The value of the Nasiri Dua is that, once understood and recited, the modern Muslim begins to think and plan and act in the clear recognition that the enemy are not strong, that their money is worthless, that their systematisation creates chaos and not order. By this Dua, we become the ones who can construct the future on the ruins now strewn across the deserts of humanism.
La ghalib illallah, Edited from the text of Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir As-Sufi, http://www.shaykhabdalqadir.com, English translation available at this link https://bewley.virtualave.net/Nasiri_Dua.pdf
