Islamic religious hymnody (A hymn is a type of song/poetry, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity or deities, or to a prominent figure or personification).
The word nashid is related to the verb anashid which means to 'make something known as raising one's voice' as in a list item. In the case of poetry, the munshid, the one who performs inshad, makes the meanings and feelings of the poetry 'known' by raising their voice to give due and a full performance to the poem.
The word nashid commonly denotes in our time halal poetry (on the topic of Allah, his messenger (alayhi s-Salam), or good character sung without instruments. They are commonly memorised in the Arabic phrase, 'Suni'a bi sihrika', whose consonants are the Arabic saad for the maqam Saba, nun for the nahawand (from ancient Persia), 'ayn for 'Ajam meaning foreign which is the closest to a Western major scale, ba' for heavy used maqam Bayat, sin for Sika which is the exultant maqam of Tala'a l-Bard, ha' for Hijaz which is the exotic and typically Middle-Eastern maqam of the adhan of the Haramayn (the two sacred sanctuaries), ra' for another heavily worked maqam; Rasd, and finally kaf for Kurdi, the Maqam contributed by the Kurds of the Middle-East.

Get the Nashid mug.Nashita's come in many shapes and form and are quite malleable tbh. But generally tend to have a very convincing ulterior of a social butterfly and a positive, bubbly and caring attitude. Very big dreamers, looking at the big picture and always finding the easiest way to do the difficult things, they have a very creative inquisitive mind. However they are deeply insecure, sometimes a little daft and a and lost. Naive and overly reliant on other, they have to learn to be free and independent to grow. Regardless, they are a unique specimen of beings that deserve respect.
David Attenborough: Look it's a Nashita! This is absolutely spectacular sight. So thankful I can experience this moment.

Get the Nashita mug.Best at everything. Extremely beautiful. She keeps her circle small but her friends are like family to her. She is happy when her friends are happy. Many are afraid to approach her but once they get to know her they are stunned. She tries hiding it but has a heart of gold. Has a story to tell.

Get the Nahida mug.Dude, she is super funny and sweet. She cares about people even if they’re not her friends. She has had a tough life but is incredibly happy when she spends time with her friends. You wouldn’t trade her for the world. She may be depressed but it works because usually her close friends are depressed too.
Sophia: Hey, whose that?
Anika: That’s Nahide. She’s my best friend. But don’t tell her, she’ll think I’m corny.
