Everyone who has heard of Arabic music knows this legend and knows her style. All Arabs respect her and value her timeless hits. No other Arab icon has enriched Arabic music as she did...no other Arab musician has this religious following as much as she did. The woman that ruled over all men, kings, presidents, generals and sultans....the one and the only Arabic voice for the ages is Oum Kaalthoum.
Yet not everyone knows her religious themed music where she coved a number of poems and Muslims hymns celebrating Islam, its history and it's figures. Of course the time she came in was a bit more religious than now, but she chose to cover Islamic subjects in few of her songs. In fact she started as a little girl singing at weddings and covering Islamic hymns.
Here is one of her cover of the timeless nasheed that was sang to welcome prophet Mohammad (PBH) as he came to Madina. There are thousands of people who have covered this song, from Cat Stevens, to Sami Yusuf, it remains the one Muslim song that everyone memorizes by heart. This one by Al Sit or Oum Kalthoum is special.
