Hamd

[2][3] A Hamd is usually written in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Bengali, Punjabi, or Urdu and recited all over the Muslim world, from Indonesia to Morocco.

The second pillar is Salat which is performing prayer, Muslims pray five times a day in order to keep remembering Allah and this allows a direct link between the worshipper and God.

Fasting is the fourth pillar, and this emphasizes the depth meaning of Hamd in the holy month of Ramadan.

The fifth pillar is Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, the concept of Hamd is implemented in the action of Muslims visiting the Kaabah or House of God.

When a Muslim thanks or praises Allah for his favours and bounties it can be done by reciting the word or by act of prayer.

For example, when a Muslim sneezes, first thing they should say is HamdAllah praising God in every small or large situation.

[5] Some well-known Hamd singers are Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sabri Brothers, Najam Sheraz, Qari Waheed Zafar Qasmi and Muhammad al-Muqit.
