In summer 1996 Kamal boarded an Islamic school in Bolton called Al Jamia-Al Islamiyya. He studied a course to memorise the whole Noble Qur'an. During the month of Ramadan in November 2000 halfway through his course, sadly his father Haji Malkas Ali passed away. By the grace of Allah at the end of 2001 Kamal finished his course and became a qualified Hafiz. Immediately after, The Hyde Jamia Mosque offered him to lead the next Ramadan prayers. At the time Kamal was only 17 years old. Having been successful he was offered to teach children at the Islamic Centre based in the Mosque and also to lead and call people to prayers. In September 2002 Kamal boarded Jamia Al-Karam in Retford to study Arabic grammar. After a year he returned back to Hyde Jamia Mosque to carry on his duties there.
Knowing at an early age his talent in reciting the Qur’an and singing Nasheeds, he opened a Nasheed class where young children can enjoy learning about Islam by singing Nasheeds and also a separate Hafiz class so he can teach others to memorise the Noble Qur’an like himself.
During January 2005, Kamal took his mother to Saudi Arabia, to perform the largest Islamic pilgrimage - Hajj. Having been inspired from his Hajj experience, Kamal started to compose his own lyrics for his first album. This was launched in August 2005 and became a huge success gaining Kamal his recognition as a Nasheed Artist after performing at the 1st Global Peace and Unity Event organised by the Islam Channel.
In May 2006, due to heavy demand from his listeners all over the world, Kamal released his second Album ‘Illallah’. This Album immediately became a bigger success selling in all leading Islamic stores. Shortly after in August, Kamal took a big step in his life and got married.
Kamal has taken part in many performances throughout the U.K and has impressed the internationally known propagator of Islam, Dr Zakir Naik, whilst performing during his talks. He has also had the honour to perform alongside other Nasheed artists such as Yahya Hawa, Ahmed Bukhatir, Zain Bhikha and many more. He is now working closely with IQRA Promotions, Sheffield on many new projects including his third Album along with a Nasheed Video.
An Imam, a Hafiz, a Haji and a Nasheed artist. A remarkable talented dear brother: Kamal Uddin.
Hain nazar main
Kamal Uddin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jinki tasveer sine me maujud hai
Jisne lakar kalame ilahi diya
Ful khilte hai padh padh ke salle ala
Jhoom kar keh rahi hai ye bade saba
Aisi khushboo gulon ke chaman me kahan
Jo Nabi ke pasine me maujood hai
Sari duniya me aisa nazara nahi
Aisa manzar zameen pe na dekha kahin
Jaisa manzar Madine me maujud hai
Maine mana ke jannat bahot hai haseen
Chhod kar mai Madina na jau kahin
Yun to jannat me sab hai Madina nahi
Aur jannat Madine me maujud hai
Jabki toofan safine se takra gaya
Maine usse ye be sakhta keh diya
Kya bigadega tu kashtiye deen ka
Na khuda jab safine me maujud hai
The lyrics to Kamal Uddin's "Hain Nazar Main" describe the beauty of Prophet Muhammad and the city of Medina. The song begins by praising the Prophet and acknowledging his importance in the hearts of Muslims. The words "Hai nazar me Jamal-e-Habib-e-Khuda" mean "In my sight is the beauty of God's beloved." The next line, "Jinki tasveer sine mein maujud hai," translates to "Whose image is present in my heart."
The lyrics then describe the positive influence that the Prophet has on those who follow him, saying "Jisne lakar kalam-e-ilahi diya / Ful khilte hai padh padh ke salle ala" which means "Those who brought the words of God / Flowers bloom by reading blessings upon the Prophet." The song also compares the beauty of Medina to that of paradise, saying "Chhodna tera taiba gawara nahi / Sari duniya mein aisa nazara nahi / Aisa manzar zameen pe na dekha kahin / Jaisa manzar Madine me maujud hai" which translates to "Leaving you, O Taiba, is not acceptable / There is no such view in the whole world / Such a sight never seen on earth / As there is in Madina."
The final line of the song speaks to the strength and resilience of faith, even in difficult times. "Na khuda jab safine me maujud hai," means "When God is present in the ship, what can the storm do?" The song ultimately conveys a deep reverence for the Prophet and his city, Medina, and the importance of faith in navigating life's challenges.
