Aman (Peace) is the fifth studio album by Malaysian nasheed group Rabbani. It was released in November 2001 by Permata Audio and EMI Music Malaysia.[1][2][3]

Production

Aman was produced following the commercial success of the group’s previous album, Intifada.[4] The album was heavily influenced by Intifada, with many of the same producers and composers involved in its production.[5] It contains six Malay-language songs, four Arabic-language songs, as well as recitations of verses from the Qur'an and selected hadith.[6]

In the album, Rabbani also recorded an Arabic-language version of "Pergi Tak Kembali", titled "Irtihal".[7] Aman was the final studio album released by Rabbani under Permata Audio and EMI Music Malaysia, as the group's contract with the labels ended in March 2002.[8]

Release and promotion

Aman was released in November 2001, with the title track serving as the lead single.[9] Other singles from the album included "Apa Yang Kau Tahu" and "Kerlipan Cinta" , which were later made into music videos.[10] Both videos were filmed at the Federal Territory Mosque, Kuala Lumpur, and featured computer-generated graphics.[11][10]

In addition, for every album sold, one Malaysian ringgit was donated to non-governmental organizations assisting war victims in Afghanistan and Palestine.[6]

In his review for Mudik, Nahar NRS praised Aman for its blend of contemporary nasyid and pop influences, although he noted that the album was slightly less impactful than Rabbani's previous release, Intifada.[9]
