This 3 week beginner Daff course is intended to familiarize the student with the Art of Classical Arabic Drumming & to revive the forgotten tradition of the Daff within young females, as a means of healing through connecting to the Love of the Most Beloved to Allah, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ 

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet ‎ﷺ passed by some of the girls of Medina and they were playing their drums and singing the words, “Muhammad is an excellent neighbour! We are neighbors from the tribe of Najjar!” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah knows that you are dear to me.” [Sahih: Sunan Ibn Majah 1899]

The tradition of playing the Daff with recitation of poetry in praise of Allah & His Beloved Messenger ‎ﷺ was practiced since the time of the Prophet ‎Muhammad ‎ﷺ and continues to date. Drumming Circles have existed throughout the ages across various cultures and geographic locations. Drumming with the use of beautiful tunes of Prophetic Praise is perceived as a form of therapeutic healing through sound. 

This will be a females only class facilitated by sister Summeya who has learnt the Daff from a young age from traditional female Yemeni Munshidas (reciters) in Hijaz, who had given her Ejaza to transmit this tradition to the next generations.

Below are a few links for you to purchase your own Daff before the course begins, if you don’t already own one:

Amazon Daffs:


Remo Fiberskin Drums are great and more affordable for just starting out / beginners. 
The real deal Daffs are made from goat or sheep skin but those can be a bit more expensive.
For choosing which size, follow your heart :') all are great. 

If you do research and you find instrument stores in your local city that sell frame drums (Daffs), and they are more feasible for you, then do go ahead and get them locally!
