Omar Esa
Dean, Nasheeds
Omar Esa is an award-winning, chart topping International nasheed artist from the United Kingdom (UK), who uses only his voice in all his nasheeds and recites nasheeds in mainly the English, Urdu and Arabic languages. His nasheeds are very versatile thanks to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), as he can write both contemporary and traditional sounding nasheeds Alhamdullilah.
Omar Esa was previously an RnB/Pop singer in 2011 and was guided by Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) to leave that world and start recording nasheeds. His new journey began with a simple dream, to show the world the beauty of Islam through his nasheeds. Omar Esa is a strong advocate for voice only nasheeds and has coined the phrase
“Anything music can do, so can the voice – My voice is my instrument”.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from Omar Esa directly, promoting virtue and forbidding evil by bringing an alternative to music that is impermissible in Islam.
