Thanks to Abdallah Jamaleddine for explaining some aspects of this to me. I have yet to meet a Muslim who doesnвЂ™t know this song. It would be analogous to Christmas shepherds singing a specific song to baby Jesus, and we know the song. Think about that: this isnвЂ™t a song that was composed retrospectively, then went on to become a cultural favorite. As Mohammad entered the city, his followers sang this song which they had already composed for the occasion. To Muslims, MohammadвЂ™s arrival in Medina signifies the defining moment at which Islam began. Eventually Mohammad slipped through the leadershipвЂ™s grasp and fled to Medina under pursuit, though eventually he managed to escape their tracking and to reach Medina in peace. Followers began to move to Medina and formed a community there. He began building a community, but the leaders of Mecca wanted to suppress this emerging movement. MohammadвЂ™s encounters with the Divine, as Muslims understand it, began when he lived in Mecca. This is an extremely important and well-known song in the Islamic tradition. The lyrical video of the song has been released online by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Ameen also joined Yuvan and sang the song. Son of Academy Award-winning music composer A.R. Note to perfomers: the song itself doesnвЂ™t touch the F-sharp and so doesnвЂ™t indicate Hijaz, but if you wish to add harmony or additional melody as ornamentation, experiment with Hijaz the F-sharp in particular adds tension and color. Today, Yuvan Shankar Raja has released a song, Tala Al Badru Alayna, a tribute to the prophet on the occasion of Eid. This isnвЂ™t how I hear it performed I think Arabic performers simply adjust. Arabic notation would have the B 1 quarter flat and would ignore the Hijaz softening. While this song is traditionally Arabic, I notate it here using the Turkish sytem which is more explicit about the Hijaz softening. While Hijaz is softened generally, in Turkish Huzzam the E-flat is raised even higher, just because. However, generally in Turkish (and often in Arabic) the wide interval in Hijaz is вЂњsoftenedвЂќ by bringing the lower note (E-flat) up and the upper note (F-sharp) down, just a little (1 koma). Huzzam places the Hijaz tetrachord on D: D, E-flat, F-sharp, G. This is in the Segah family it is rooted on Segah, the B-very-slightly flat (1 koma flat), then has C and D.
