When Santana Dharma was under threat in Trinidad from the combined efforts of the government and Presbyterian missionaries as well as other Christian sects, it was bhajans like this and men like Haniff, Yusuf Khan, Isaac Yankaran and others that held the light high.
Not just Sanatan Dharma, Indian culture on the whole. This is why Hindus and Muslims worked together to preserve it. Same in Suriname and Guyana. That's why some of the Indian political parties have a lot of Hindu and Muslim affiliation.
This great bhajan from a versatile singer. When no religion matter and that's truly world peace. If only today can be that way . What a great world we would live in.awesome
I had the pleasure of this great classical singer, a son of the soil, performing live the farewell night (Saturday) at my brother's wedding in Cedar Hill Village , Trinidad 31 years ago. He brought much joy and happiness to everyone with his melodious voice and compositions. This particular bhajan brings me a lot of peace and is one of my favourites . Thank you Ustad Ji. You will always be remembered in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace wherever you are. May Lord Shiva bless you. you will always be r will allwaud t aeat ar
Hanifji kamaal hai , What a wonderful song you have rendered, your voice is just beautiful , thank you very much soulful singing. R.S.Thakur , a tabla player from New Delhi, India.
The soulful voice of this Ustad Haniff Mohammed will continue to echo in my ears and my heart .... I grew up with this voice.... " Salaam Kehte Hai, Ustad Haniff ".. Zaira
Growing up my grandfather had a passion for guyanese taan / local classical, which eventually grew upon me. This song is my first experience with "Trinidad local classical" so many many years ago .... Many thanks to my brothers Sat Maharaj and S. Binda for introducing me to what is now one of my deepest passions in life .... classical ! Jai ho !
The lord of mount kailash himself must have blessed you with this wonderful voice and the ability to render these songs so perfectly . May you rest at his feet for all eternity oh blessed one and thank you for these beautiful songs .
guyana, Trinidad and Suriname are very close to each other and they share the same culture. Muslims and Hindus live mostly in harmony and knows of each other religion.
I got your drift. Glorifying the Lord and his devotees however transcends religion and ethnicity. Bhagawan has many names Krishna, Allah, Buddha, Yahweh and so on. Haniff Mohammad bhai understood this because he was very advanced spiritually. All Glories To Hannif Bhai.

it just does not get more perfect that this.....RIP Mr. Haniff Mohammed. you are truly an inspiration to all upcoming musicians and accomplished ones as well.
Haniff Mohammed a Moslem singer from South Trinidad not only did he sang Moslem songs, but he created and sang the most sacred Hindu songs ever on planet earth. I am a Trini but have been living in the United States of America for over 35 years, during this time I have been listening to Trinidad's greatest lndian classical singer Haniff almost every day for peace, prosperity and communication to almighty God. Blessings to you O' great one, may you rest I'm peace in the arms of Lord Shiva.

He sang in my cousins cooking night and i was fortunate to accompanied him onthe dhantaal
Marvellous, a Muslim singing a Hindu bhajan, and that too in West Indies
guyana, Trinidad and Suriname are very close to each other and they share the same culture. Muslims and Hindus live mostly in harmony and knows of each other religion.
He is a Hindoestani with Arabiq name
I got your drift. Glorifying the Lord and his devotees however transcends religion and ethnicity. Bhagawan has many names Krishna, Allah, Buddha, Yahweh and so on. Haniff Mohammad bhai understood this because he was very advanced spiritually.
All Glories To Hannif Bhai.
And his funeral was in Christian rites.

They are not playing a tabla. No way a tabla can sound as good with this song.
