SHAH ALAM: The song ‘Putusnya Butir Tasbihku’ by Ustaz 3 Beradik feat Fadzil Far East took the top honour at the IKIMfm Chart Awards 2025.
Composer Frizdan Fizarahman and lyricists Fadzli Far East and Amy Bong received RM10,000 and a trophy for the win.
The song about a death row inmate also picked up the Best Performance award, earning an additional RM3,000.
Second place went to Simfoni feat Ezad Lazim with ‘Terus’, which also won the Best Lyrics award.
Rabbani secured third place through ‘Husnul Khatimah’, while the Best Vocal award was claimed by Fetya for ‘Taufan Al-Aqsa’.
The event was officiated by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Senator Dr Zulkifli Hasan.
He told reporters the awards help inject fresh energy into the nasyid music scene and reflect growing participation from artistes across generations.
“Alhamdulillah, we can see the emergence of a new generation of nasyid practitioners, supported by guidance from seniors who have long been part of the industry,” he said.
Zulkifli added that the development offers renewed hope for a revival of nasyid music similar to its heyday.
He said the quality and messages conveyed are vibrant and varied, touching on themes such as the environment, spirituality, unity and peace.
“This is the kind of art we want, one that builds and uplifts rather than tears down,” he said.
ACI’25 is IKIMfm’s annual flagship event that celebrates the best nasyid works in the country.
The awards are based on public votes and assessments by a panel of professional judges.
They serve as a key platform to recognise the contributions of nasyid artistes in strengthening a music scene driven by messages of dakwah, humanity and spirituality.
The event was organised by the Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia in collaboration with sponsoring partners Insaf Insani and Mardhiyyah Hotel & Suites.
