“Religion Never Had it so good“: Contemporary Nasyid and the Growth of Islamic Popular Music in Malaysia

Abstract

The Taliban in Afghanistan and the hardline clergy in Iran might regard them as blasphemous, but in Malaysia Islamic pop groups are a hit, even with fundamentalist politicians. Nasyid groups, as they are known, are winning awards for using their talents to bring people closer to Islam. (MGW 13 June 1999)
