Naughty Muslim Music Video

Move over Cleopatra - there's a new queen in Egypt. And her name is Sandy Star.

 Sandy, as she usually goes by, is the new talented pop diva in the Arab music world hailing from Cairo, Egypt. She released her first album Kol Ma Arrab in 2006. Distributed by Star Label, the album included the single Kol Ma Arrab, and put Sandy on the map with her sultry voice and sexy beats.

But it wasn't until 2009 that Sandy really blew up. She achieved her first bonafide hit with Shoftoh W Makalemneish. That single came off of the release of her second album Lessa Soghayarah on the extremely popular Arab label, Melody Music. She is currently working on her new album Ad Eltahadythat will also be distributed by Melody Music.

Here is her video for the song Eyak off her latest album. We love the Arabic drums in this riddim, and her voice is so smooth and alluring...She's not too hard on the eyes either... ;)

Egyptian Islamic Scholar Storms Concert to Condemn Music

Egyptian Salafist figure storms student concert, reignites debate over Music in Islam

Al Arabia

Popular Egyptian Islamic Salafist scholar Hazem Shoman (right) storms into the Egyptian singer's Hisham Abbas' music concert to advise the audience that gender mixing and singing are both haram. (Al Arabiya)

Students at Nile Academy campus in the city of Mansoura were surprised when Shoman took the stage of Hisham Abbas’ concert “advising” them that music is “haram,” or forbidden in Islam, and that they should not be watching or listening to it.

The students reportedly responded with chants against the scholar, and in order to prevent the escalation of the situation, the academy’s vice president Mohamed Abdel Ghaffar and other officials interfered and persuaded Shoman to vacate the venue.

In a TV interview by Nile channel, Shoman later said that he was “shocked” to enter the concert hall and see female dancers mixing with men.

He said that he decided to give “advices” to the concert’s youth whom he described as responsive to his concerns. According to him, the concert was later canceled after the withdrawal of a “sizeable group of the attendees.”

Khalid Saeed, a spokesman for the Salafi Front, hailed Shoman’s “good behavior” but said Shoman only represented himself as an individual Salafi advocator.

But Saeed told the electronic al-Ahram newspaper that the concert is “unacceptable” and that it was “full of sins” with both genders mixing.

Prominent Islamic figure Salim al-Awa, likewise, said Shoman’s behavior was his own and did not represent any religious or political bloc in the country and that whether singing is forbidden in Islam was still an unresolved issue among the clerics and scholars.

Awa said that there was no evidence in the Quran or in the teaching of the prophet that singing is “haram,” but he said there was “evidence” that anything that leads to committing sins should be banned.
