AaShiq Al Rasul (Moslem Musicians) - Aa'shiq-al-Rasul (AAR) – that means ‘Lovers of the Prophet’ (SAW) – shaped as a nasheed cluster within the summer of 1998. The core members of Amran Ellahi, Sheraz Yaqub, Kamran Ellahi and Tahir Khan hail from Birmingham, England and are classically trained singers who perform a formidable repertoire of ancient nasheeds or spiritually uplifting songs, in Arabic, Urdu and English.
Their debut album ‘Blessed Mustafa’ (1998) – from which this album takes its name – received great critical acclaim and was soon followed by ‘Divine Lights’ (1999), the group’s excellent rendition of the Asma ul-Husna, or Beautiful Names of God. ‘The Chosen One’ (2001) went on to further develop their distinctive sound – a combination of rousing, powerful vocals married to exciting live percussion – that was also a feature of their fourth release, ‘Lord of the Worlds’ (2003). Each album presented cover versions of traditional material mixed with tracks developed by the group.
These albums along with their stirring live performances helped cement their name as a novel nasheed cluster and brought forth several plaudits and invites. AAR have performed in front of thousands, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, at a number of the foremost prestigious venues and events as well as Glastonbury, the International Sufi Music competition, The Muslim Millennium competition and Birmingham Symphony Hall. they need conjointly worked and performed with renowned nasheed artists like Yusuf Islam – that includes on 2 of his compilation albums – Raihan, Sabri Brothers Qawwal, Arshad Mehmood, Khaleel Muhammad, Sami Yusuf, Mecca2Madina and Zain Bhikha. however it's merit note that alongside their high profile engagements the cluster members build time for teams and causes expensive to them; hence they're renowned for his or her performances in aid of charities and also the community and their college visits and workshops.
