The mufti of Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, will produce an album of poetic songs sung by many singers (Aishah plus others). The lyrics of all the songs are written by Dr Asri. It seems that he is really into writings...
That was quite a surprise. But when it comes to be a Mufti of state producing an album of sing songs, it really hit me!! Is it good? I don't know. I definitely want to hear the songs first. But I am more concern that people may get confused. Normally Men Of The Garb only write religious books, giving sermons, ceramahs and reading the doas. To have a Mufti mingling with artists (nasyid) , wow!! what to say.. However, I believe when the dust settles and the realization will become clearer, a Mufti is in the music industry could be acceptable!
I don't say it's bad but it's certainly new to me. Last year in a PAS function, I did watch a performance by Tok Guru's P.A giving out his number of melodious poems recital. But a Mufti!?!?
The next question is, will Dr Asri compete in the Music Industry for the many awards, pricely available (nearly every month of the year). The likes of Raihan, In-Team and Rabbani surely should be aware now... because Dr Asri could be a staunch competitor in the same playing field. HAH!!
Then, could there be an event as below.....
..and the winner in the Best Lyrics Category goes to....The Mufti Of Perlis Darul Sunnah! Dr Asri Zainul Abidin! ..... (..and the award was given away by DS Rosmah Mansor)
...aahhh...... da'awah in its many approaches...
