Rainbows are Colors of Life

Rainbow is a symbol of the colors of our lives.

It portrays the happier side of our lives that has been

bestowed by Allah the Al Mighty to us. Rainbow is nice to

look at and brings us joy. It is one of the phenomena

that is magical and shows the greatness of Allah.

People often make the mistake of interpreting what the free heart mean. For most of them it means that total freedom of the heart to make the choice of actions they want in seeking happiness. In Islam, the freedom of choice is not absolute because we have limits in everything we do which is in accordance of the Quran and Hadeeth.

Zain Bhikha, born August 9, 1974, is a South African Muslim singer-songwriter, who has achieved fame as a performer of nasheed songs. Tied to other prominent Muslim entertainers, including Yusuf Islam and Dawud Wharnsby Ali, Bhikha has collaborated on albums with other artists, and has released several solo albums as well. He has written several religious albums concerning Islam.

Bhikha may best be known outside of the Muslim community by his performance with a drummer and several backup vocalists who are most famous for being the African singers in the famous Disney cartoon movie The Lion King.^[1]

Bhikha's music almost exclusively follows Islamic themes, with only voice and drums being used, since the use of musical instruments other than the voice and the drum is an area of debate in Muslim jurisprudence, considered harām, or "unlawful" by a portion of the Muslim community. His voice is unmistakable; it is high and sweet, with an overall feeling of gentleness. He has mastered the art of harmony, and is proficient as both a lead vocalist and as a singer of backing vocals. While not a falsetto, the timbre of his voice sounds higher than that of most performers. It has been compared to the singing voice of Western pop musician Michael Jackson.^[who?]
