Recently, I have been hearing criticism from the majority of our local Muslims on Whirling and hadrah. It seems like our Muslim society lack of exposure and understanding the spiritual concept of knowledge and culture. It saddened me to see the state we are in. We are cursing and labeling others who we don't understand their actions with words which our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. wont even want to utter it. Its time, we discover our lost spiritual culture and heritage, this include music, poetry and arts. We are in the need of reviving the spirit of love, tolerance and humanity. We are becoming ruthless and arrogance. We have the mentality of "Holier than thou" attitude. We measure progress by materialism while the number of social issues and stress are increasing day by day. But in actual fact, we are backdated.
The youth of today are more into spiritual arts and culture. It fascinate them, awaking their hearts to understand God by exploring the subject of spirituality. They felt the sense of belonging to the Tariqa groups because of music, love, remembrance of God and many spiritual activities. This will lead them to righteous path, to contribute their efforts and sincerity to the development and progression of our society. And We are able to have social cohesion. As in spiritual teachings, we learn to love one another and respect Allah's creation, whoever they could be. Ever since bands such as Dewa, Padi, Ungu, Opick, Haddad Alwi, Habib Syech and Ahabul Mustafa, Rabbani band, Debu and many more in Indonesia are making impact in the society life, it shows how important the spiritual culture is to us today.
While the days of Nasheed are completely gone, Rabbani band and another sufi bands or ensemble concerts attract thousand crowds from youth to adults. Most of the youth are no longer inclining towards nasheed. The likes of Nowsweetheart and other nasheed groups found it difficult to have youngsters as their followers. Raihan was the last nasheed group to achieve success on various platform. The last time, we have such nasheed group was Al jawher back in the early 70s. We don't know when nasheed will be popular again in this region. However, the rising number of fusion groups like Rabbani band, Opick, Debu will make an immediate impact to the youth. Therefore, we have to open our mind and hearts so that we are able to feel the inner spirit of the music. When the music is play with the hearts of sincerity, it brings harmony to ourselves and our society.
