Above images are messages between me and Humair Shahid. Director of Media Arts & Culture Ltd or RadioMAC.

Questions
Salaaam, how are you
Im just going to ask you a few questions today

So could you briefly introduce yourself and what you do

What type of Nasheeds and naats do people prefer and listen more to

So just going of on what you said
Why do people in your opinion prefer songs over Naats, like you said a lot of youngsters do prefer Naats but their are still those youngsters that listen to songs a lot that sometimes maybe even prefer songs over Naats and it’s not just the youngesters either it’s the elders aswell.

In your opinion what would it take for the youth and the elder community to stop listening to songs completely and just listen to Naats and nasheeds. What would it take for not only you as a nasheeds artist but the whole Naheed artist community, the whole naat community, such as you, Like you mentioned Mikhael Mala and many other beautiful people in the Nasheed and Naat community that have a huge impact not only on the youth but also on the elder community and also not within Islam either but even outside to bring people towards Islam.

In your opinion what is the most popular Naat or Nasheed Genre currently? What type of Nasheed do people prefer as in Qawwali, Arabic, English, Urdu. What are people in this day and age mostly attracted to? What do they listen more to? or What do they like?

How does listening to Naats & Nasheeds reflect on your religious belief or anyones religious belief?

Such beautiful answers, just coming on to our last questions now. What kind of feeling, when your listening to naats & nasheed or as a nasheed artist aswell, when your reciting your nasheeds or listening to nasheeds what kind of feeling does that invoke on you?

And lastly what is one thing you would say to the youth of today, or not even the youth the elder community, maybe someone who is looking to revert back to Islam, what is one piece of advice you would give to motivate them and maybe keep them on track and in the right direction.
