RISING star from the United Kingdom, Farhana Ali, has released a soulful song titled 'Alhamdulillah, It's Ramadan'.
The song features mellifluous vocals without musical instruments and serves as a poignant expression of faith, positivity, and spirituality.
It also embodies the essence of gratitude and devotion, capturing the anticipation and blessings of this holy month, and what it means to give back to the community.
"I wrote 'Alhamdullilah, It's Ramadan' to capture the essence and spirit of the fasting month.
"Recording the song was easy as I worked with some of the greatest producers who made me feel comfortable when recording.
"I wanted this song to bring happiness, hope, and that Ramadan is finally here after a long year of yearning for peace," she said.
The song, released through Universal Music Malaysia's faith-inspired label Masyhur, also features a music video that mirrors the tune's positive lyrics and serves as a poignant reminder of the values of compassion unity, and reflection.
"The message in the video is about community, unity, giving back, and being welcoming to all regardless of your faith.
"It symbolises hope and togetherness and absolute joy in each other's presence. 'Miracles can happen, it's the holiest month' — runs a snippet of the lyrics taken from the song and I think the entire message from my video beautifully showcases this," she said.
Farhana added that she had only about four days to prepare for the video, from concept and decor to the catering, costumes, and such.
"But I had such a great team and community behind me that it came together easily.
"We started the filming at 10am when the local food bank opened. We captured the everyday business of what it looks like to organise the food items before distributing them to the community.
"We then had to put the big 'Iftar' food table together for all the guests which you can see at the end of the video. I love this scene as it symbolises 'breaking bread together', sharing food, and talking about Ramadan."
Farhana is a talented vocalist and is also the first solo female Muslim in the UK to release an album.
She prays that the song will be a huge success and that the audience will love its beautiful vibe and spirit.
