A nasheed (Arabic: نَشِيد, romanized: nashīd, lit. 'chant', pl. أَنَاشِيد, anāshīd) is a work of vocal music, partially coincident with hymns, that is either sung a cappella or with instruments, according to a particular style or tradition within Sunni Islam.
Nasheeds are popular throughout the Islamic world. The material and lyrics of a nasheed usually reference Islamic beliefs, history, religion, and current events.[1]
A nashīd performer is called a nashidist in English and munshid in Arabic (مُنْشِد, Munshid, f. مُنْشِدَة, Munshidah, pl. مُنْشِدِين, Munshidīn).
