About
“Conveying faith, peace, and beauty through music.”
The Vision
For over two decades, Iqbal Hossain Jibon (Iqbal HJ) has walked a path where faith meets melody, and sound becomes a sanctuary. Beginning his spiritual artistic journey in Bangladesh in 2001, his voice has grown into a bridge connecting East and West, bringing the timeless elegance of Islamic culture to audiences worldwide.
To Iqbal, art and music are powerful tools for healing, dedicated to preventing hate, replacing division with empathy, and spreading unconditional love and peace. Through sacred rhythms and heartfelt poetry, his compositions offer listeners quiet reflection, hope, and connection to the Divine.
A Legacy in Sound
Across his discography, his work traces an evolving spiritual journey: Make Me Your Friend (2016), a soulful prayer for spiritual closeness and guidance; Show Me The Way (2018), an earnest search for truth amidst life's noise; Islam (2021), a tribute to the core beauty and peace of faith; Sound of Peace (2025), a global call for harmony and inner tranquility; Best of Tarannum, a cherished collaboration with his daughter Ayesha; and Sorry, now in production, an exploration of humility, repentance, and emotional grace.
His signature songs, including Hasbi Rabbi, Allah'r VOY, Hasbun Allah, Habibi, Kobor and Proshno, have resonated with millions of hearts globally. Labbaik Allah was filmed across Saudi Arabia, the UK, the USA, Northern Ireland and Bangladesh.

Kind Words
What listeners say
“I am very impressed by your song Hasbi Rabbi. For the first time, I enjoyed an Islamic song on YouTube yesterday, and your song has changed my mind a lot. This is the best Islamic song, I think. I could not imagine that someone could compose such a wonderful Islamic song. It was once my dream. You did it, and I am very eager to talk to you.”
“Assalamu alaikum, brother. I live in the USA. Wallahi, I have never been like this. When I listen to your songs, they change my life. It is like I am in a different world. I used to listen to regular songs all day, but now I listen to your songs all day. Please make more. You remind me of Allah. Thank you.”
