An updated kind of poetry is spoken word, with its distinctive rhythm, repetition, and rhyme, giving its creators a unique way to express themselves. A similar form of poetry is the nasheed, Islamic music that focuses on promoting goodness and gratitude towards God. The formats vary, with some nasheed containing no music, like that of Yusuf Islam. Meanwhile, artists like Zain Bhikha may use the drum or another instrument.
On the other hand, Islamic rap is a new form of music, with its strong beats and equally strong themes. For Muslim teens, Native Deen is one popular rap group, whose songs sometimes deal with drugs, drinking, and other problems of society.
To hear nasheed and Islamic rap, here are a few links:
