Authentic Heart & Soul with Akanke Rasheed

Season 3, Episode 2: The Soulful Sojourn of Zaimah Habeeb (aka Zaimah Beloved): Vocal Artist/Singer, Songwriter, Quran Reciter, Arabic Teacher - Uses Her Voice in Multiple Ways in Remembrance of God


Listen Later

Zaimah Habeeb joins me to discuss her love for learning and teaching Arabic, reciting the Holy Qur'an, and producing conscious music for popular culture. She shares how she has worked through feeling divided between her all of these and about reconciling the conflicting feelings she has felt in the past which made her feel she couldn't recite the Quran and sing music. She wants to use her God-given talent to inspire others to know and remember God and as an independent vocal artist, singer, and songwriter she wants to bring God-consciousness to popular culture. She has produced four albums and is now working on her 5th album, which says will be for the world. 

Sprinkled throughout this episode are samples of Zaimah's beautiful Quranic recitation as well as songs from her albums. Zaimah is such a delightful person. It is so easy to love her because she truly embodies an authentic heart and soul. I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope you will enjoy listening.
