Mini bio

How it started.

Omar left R&B and pop in 2011 to make nasheeds with the voice alone. A debut album followed in November 2012. Their aim was to share Islam through songs that offered listeners an alternative to mainstream music.

Songs fans return to.

99 Names of Allah became a signature release. My Muslim Family followed in 2017, while the 2021 album Allah and His Beloved reached No. 4 on the UK Official Album Downloads Chart. Collaborations include Aqsa with Muslim Belal and Ilyas Mao.

For the whole family.

Animated nasheeds such as Jummah Mubarak brought their work to younger listeners. Omar also founded Alif Baa Taa Kids, a children’s animation platform built around learning about Islam and having fun.

A new chapter.

In August 2026, Omar announced a move away from nasheeds. Show Me the Way followed in October as the final album. Their public statement points toward continued singing and writing alongside dramas, children’s work and the podcast The British Pakistanis.
