About The Holy Prophet

\"The Holy Prophet\" is a qawwali composition performed by Badar Ali Khan. The track appears as the fifth entry on the album Lost In Qawwali III, released on June 8, 2001 under Birdman Records. The primary format of the release is a commercial CD.

The recording spans 10 minutes and 58 seconds, showcasing Khan’s vocal delivery in the traditional qawwali style. The album belongs to the Lost In Qawwali series, which compiles performances from Sufi devotional music traditions. No additional details about the accompanying musicians, lyrical sources, or specific raga structure are documented in available references.

Lost In Qawwali III serves as part of a curated collection that highlights classical and semi-classical vocal works rooted in South Asian Sufi practices. The label Birdman Records distributed the album, though further production credits or regional release variations remain unverified. The tracklist and sequencing prioritize extended devotional pieces, with \"The Holy Prophet\" positioned as a central work within the compilation.

Badar Ali Khan’s contribution to the album aligns with the broader qawwali tradition, which often centers on poetic veneration of Islamic prophets and saints. The absence of supplementary liner notes or artist interviews limits detailed analysis of the track’s thematic or musical innovations. The 2001 release date places the album within a period of renewed global interest in world music compilations, though its commercial reception and chart performance are not publicly recorded.
