Pergi Tak Kembali is the third studio album by Malaysian nasheed group Rabbani. It was released in December 1999 by Permata Audio and EMI Music Malaysia.[1]

Production

Following two successful albums, Rabbani planned to release an album with a more modern and upbeat sound, moving away from traditional nasheed.[1] Pergi Tak Kembali incorporates contemporary and alternative Nasheed elements to appeal to younger listeners.[1][2]The album was co-produced by KRU, Zaid Yusof, Yusri Yusoff and B. Nury.[3]

The songs 'Pergi Tak Kembali' and 'Masa' were composed and produced by KRU, with lyrics penned by B. Nury. Both tracks took only five days to complete.[4] Rabbani also recorded a new rendition of 'Insan', a song originally performed by Yantzen, for the albums.[2]

The album features Quranic and Hadith recitations interspersed throughout its 16 tracks.[5]
