Pearls of Islam, comprised of sisters Sakinah Lenoir and Rabiah Mali, are a British duo of African Caribbean heritage. Their music beautifully blends songs of praise, devotional poetry, and heartfelt melodies. As singer-songwriters, they meticulously compose and arrange each piece, drawing deeply from traditional Islamic poetry (Qasaid) and contemporary musical influences.
Their captivating harmonies are woven together with instruments like the guitar, darbuka, and djembe, and their lyrics are sung in both Arabic and English. Their music is thoughtfully crafted to serve as a form of remembrance (dhikr), to offer praise, to encourage reflection, to express love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and to bring a sense of tranquility and ease to their listeners.
