26 Eid Mubarak - Al Akhir (The Last) Harris J UK
Everyone will be getting ready for Eid this week. I thought I would check out what Eid songs are around. Below are some I found. None of them really hit the spot for me, I guess its all about personal taste. I like listening to women’s voices so if anyone knows of any drop me a line. I think the potential for Eid songs is massive but it feels like a totally unexplored area. Most of them talk about the same thing, celebration, partying etc. I wonder how the Eid song would be if this was the last Eid everyone was celebrating? What were people trying to achieve by participating in fasting. I know if I fast then Im really in the mood to celebrate Eid. It feels like a reward for all the hard work of fasting. However now I'm older and my goal is to reach the ultimate I find that I'm tuned into something that is permanently there. I feel the joy of Eid in everyday situations internally. However externally we participate in events, rituals etc. to help make external connections. I suppose these songs lend to this.
According to my source the 73rd name Al-Akhir is the last, without a penultimate. In other words, there is no next-to last, or anything previous to it. And Al Akhir is the last without an after. Nothing can possibly follow it. Al-Akhir is the one fully manifest in time. It is the final destination of the ultimate return of all things.
Id love to hear your ideas for Eid songs. For now check out below, Ive include a bollywood song, a rap/electronic song and I guess the one below is a fusion/soul type Justin Bieber (as someone said in the comments!). Which one do you like?
