Allah Hoo
Allah Hoo (Allāhu) is a traditional Sufi chant (dhikr) consisting of the word for God (, ') run together three times, followed by Truth (haqq): ''Allāhu Allāhu Allāhu Haqq'', itself repeated three times over. According to Sufi tradition, this formula was introduced by Abu Bakr as he initiated the Naqshbandi tradition. Other Dhikrs consist of simple ''Allāhu Allāhu'' run together 400 or 600 times. "Allah Hoo" is also a popular title for Urdu-language Sufi devotional qawwalis. Etymology The "Hoo" is due to the nominative suffix ( i`rab) ''-u'' ( ḍamma) being pronounced before initial vowel, as the word ''Allahu'' is run together several times: ''Allahu Allahu Allahu'' is rendered as /al:a:hual:a:hual:a:h/ (compare the phrase ''Allahu Akbar'' where the ''-u'' is also audible). In traditional Sufi chant, the length of the ''-u'' is exaggerated. As a noun phrase, the chant is interpreted as meaning "God is". Haqq is the Arabic for "truth", so that the full dhikr translates to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mast Qalandar
''Dama Dam Mast Qalandar'' () is a spiritual Sufi qawwali written in the honour of the most revered Sufi saint of Sindh, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (1177–1274) of Sehwan Sharif. The origins of the poem is unknown, since no recordings or written documents exist mentioning it prior to the 1950s. However, legends around the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan suggest that the original poem was initially written by the 13th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrow, then further modified by Bulleh Shah in the 18th century. The poem includes a reference to the town of Sehwan, and the word "Lal" can refer to Lal Shahbaz Qalandar as a young man, his legendary ruby glow, or his red dress. Bulleh Shah gave an entirely different color to the qawwali, adding verses in praises of Shahbaz Qalandar and giving it a large tint of Sindhi culture. It also venerates Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad. Contrary to popular legend, renowned Pakistani composer Ashiq Hussain only composed a ''dhamaal'' ve ...
