Nazeel’s
mother was always a source of inspiration
for him to pursue creative ways to do good
for himself and others. For the last several
years, she suffered from a rare illness.
Nevertheless, she continued to encourage
him to use his talent in reciting and singing
to uplift souls including his own, alongside
his other duties. When she was abroad on
medical treatment, Nazeel was not able to
be with her and take care of her, for a
period.
A close
friend suggested that he record a song and
send it to her as a gift. Nazeel jumped
to the idea and recorded one of her favourite
songs and sent it. On hearing it, she was
deeply affected, and moved to tears.
After returning
to the UK for further treatment, she would
often ask Nazeel to sing the song to her
while she rested, even as she approached
her final days. Nazeel’s mother passed
away just over a year ago.
Soon more
of his close friends listened to the song,
and several were moved by the track. Eventually,
they persuaded Nazeel to do something more
so that others might also benefit in the
way they did.
What you
have before you is the culmination of that
endeavour, Dunya, a powerful collection
of songs and recitals about life as a ‘seeker’
aspiring to be at one with the world of
God.
In producing
Dunya, a rare combination of languages,
themes and cultures have come together to
reveal a unique expression — one that
is sometimes painful, but, at other times,
intensely joyful.
