| | Madih nabawi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The genre dates from 632 CE, immediately after the death of Muhammad, but the performers address Muhammad as if he were still alive. |
 | | Musical genres or subgenres in the madih repertoire include tanzilah ("revelation"), ibtihal ("supplication"), tawassul ("beseechment"), tawshih, and muwashshah. |
 | | A typical performance includes a solo singer accompanied by a chorus of men with frame drums, the chorus singing a refrain which the soloist improvisationally answers through variation, paraphrasing, or transformation of the refrain, emphasising the characteristics of the respective maqam row or scale. |
