mostly, the naats with indian tunes are from pakistani origin. And mostly, these naathkhaans are anti-indian. I’m talking from the experience i have from seeing and hearing such ppl
Hmmm ,yes there are actually English na'ats with tunes from such songs as 'twinkle twinkle little star' etc.
There are also a few which have piano playing in the background.
The point is that we simple Muslims are running after things that are invented. Naats in Urdu or anasheed in Arabic are both inventions.
The Holy Quran is shifa. It has cure for diseases. Try listening to it instead of naats, and you will feel how beautiful it is. If you understand it also, besides listening to it, it is just wonderful. Makes the soul alive!
There is no better music than the Holy Quran. Choose any Qari (reader) and listen to it. There is so much ajar and blessings. When Allah has given this beautiful kalaam to hear, why do we have to go for something that is man made and may contain errors. I fail to understand how naat benefits anyone?
Salaam and blessings on the Prophet :saw: have been ordained in the Quran. Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet Muhammad:saw:. So lets send blessings. How do we send blessings? through naats? I am sure it is through reading Allahuma sallay ala Muhammad wa ala aaale Muhammad. There are many types of darood. Lets read them. That is the right way!
Listen to this: It is so amazing!

well wut if wuteva u heard wuzn't true n all..how can u b so sure bout all dat??
n yea i don't agree wid da fact of havin indian muziq tunes wid naats eitha.
What about naats like "Lab pay aati hai dua"? What do all of you (above) think about that one ? We used to sing it at school; some of my fellow classmates had really nice voices and they used to sing it without the accompaniment of any musical instruments. Yes, just their own voices. What about that ? Sometimes groups of us from the class used to sing it as a group w/ no musical instruments. What about that? confused
Lab pai aati hai dua is not a naat…It’s a dua…
i think it can be both, a naat and a dua. When i was in grade 2, we used to sing it - as a naat. Of course the meaning makes it a dua, and it's an excellent dua (obviously). But my point is, what about religious stuff like that - that is sung, as one example, by schoolchildren with no musical instruments whatsoever...?
how can it be a "naat"? "Hamd" literally means tareef and it is written when praising Allah (swt) whilst "naat" is written in praise of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh). "Lab pay aati hai dua" is not a praise to him by any means. It's only a dua.

there is a difference between NAAT and HAMD.
naat is related to Prophet(PBUH) and HAMD
talks about Tawheed.
Laab pe Atee Dua is Hamd.
Cut it out Guyz
Love for Allah and his beloved Prophet can be expressed in many forms and ways. Some intelligent guppies sitting here migt call such ways biddah and thus subsequently start a division whithin brothers that are already split from each other. So lets not decide what is wrong for us. If a brother feels its wrong then just abstain, period.
So far the original ? is concenred about the tunes that y they are INdian and so forth, I think Nesico has right , i feel it sometimes too, but then I dont let it bother me too much as its the content that i like. Nothing wrong with an Indian tune in it i guess, if you dont like it dont listen to it.
Peace

the topic raises another query: often ppl dislike it when u say 'to sing a na'at'
how do u ppl feel about this? Bascially it's singing right?

When you are reading a naat its not called "Singing". IMO the better terminology is 'Recieting". I might be wrong as i have only read the term "Recite" with Quran
^well, when a singer is recording a song, he is also reciting the text, yet it still is called singing.
For me singing is: reciting something on the basis of a rhythm and melody. this fits also with singing na’ats :k:
most of the times there is no rhythm associated with naats.. unless we're discussing the unusual flurry of 'religious songs' these days by different bands and wholesale import of Arabic cultures.
