“Whether I’m drunk or sober
I’m a slave to those beautiful eyes
When I lose sight of that beautiful world-soul
I loathe myself, my life and all the world.

I’m a slave to the face of the one
who keeps me in the rose garden, day and night.
When I see a mirror like that
how can I take my eyes off it?

"He said: If you are filled with my passion,
not a hair of you will remain.
I’m a candle that burns to ashes
any moth who comes too close.
I told him: Burn me as much as you want,
my remains will still smoke of your love."

The cupbearer brought me the bill.
I said: Here, take the turban from my head.
No, no, take my whole head, but right now
help me to sober up just a little.
Show me that hidden world
because I don’t believe in this world any more.”

Rumi

Hadra Music of the Soul is a Sufi music group, deeply rooted in ancient healing traditions, tracing back to the Golden Age of Al-Andalus (8th–13th centuries). Their music —expression of longing for the beauty that lies in us— brings relaxation and harmony within, while opening the heart. They use oriental scales as well as the knowledge from the Divine Names of the Sufi tradition, lovingly transmitted to the group by Fawzia Al-Rawi.

In the golden age of Al-Andalus, between the 8th and 13th centuries, music was more than an art—it was a path to wholeness, nurturing the heart, body, and spirit through the use of maqams. These ancient, oriental scales, rich with specific melodic patterns, can heal and harmonize, balancing our emotions, bodies, and souls. Rooted in this timeless tradition, our music continues this legacy, using the maqams to open the heart and invite profound healing.

Each composition we offer is woven with Divine Names— sacred qualities that dwell within us all. When we chant these names, their vibrations awaken these qualities, guiding us towards awareness and restoration. The language of these Divine Names is Arabic, a feminine and sacred tongue, laden with deep meanings and healing power. Every letter, every breath within this language is a vessel of wisdom, echoing the insights of revered Sufi scholars.

The union of music and Divine Names births a transformative experience. The intricate scales of the maqams ,form the basis for what is known as taksim in Arabic music, an improvisational flow that resonates deeply, dissolving inner blockages. As we sing or chant the Divine Names, a powerful energy is invoked, one that can shift and heal.

In the light of this sacred tradition, we perceive music as a bridge to the divine, a channel through which we can delve into the depths of our being, discovering both solace and strength. As the melodies unfold and the Divine Names are chanted, we are gently reminded of the eternal connection between sound and spirit, and the ever-present potential for healing and transformation.
