Take an evolutionary journey through nasheed as Noor bend the traditional styles and create a unique and modern sound, merging the spiritual melodies of the East with the vivid musical pieces mastered by the West. The best of both worlds fuse in a mixture of poetic harmony, an auditory celebration of Arabic and English vocals entwined with music, brought together by the common thread of faith and the love of God and His final Messenger (PBUH). Past, present, and future come together here and now to birth a new measure of sound for the discerning listener, a tranquil experience of mind, heart, and soul.

Noor's journey began over eight years ago when four friends were brought together to perform in Los Angeles, California. Drawing their inspiration from well known world musicians such as Abul Jood and Imad Rami, it became clear to this group as the number of performance requests began to increase that they had to take it to the next level, and thatâs when they formed Noor.

In their first foray outside the realm of traditional nasheed, they wanted to add a modern flavors to the lyrics, they performed from old books of poetry. At the time, traditional nasheed acappella-based with light percussions was appealing mainly to first generation immigrants. The group's new sound began to attract attention from younger listeners, filling the performance halls with both young and old.

Noor has shared the stage with internationally known artists such as Sami Yusuf, Abu Ratib, Native Deen, Zain Bhikha, Seven8Six, Rahan, Ehab Tawfik and much more. Their goal is to inspire people of all walks of life while producing high quality songs with classic, wholesome lyrics and music.
