Hadirmu Ramadan: Black Hanifah’s Message Of Reflection

By Bernama Lifestyle Reporter

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 (Bernama) — In conjunction with Ramadan, singer Black Hanifah has come forward with his latest single titled Hadirmu Ramadan, a reflective work that highlights messages of repentance and hope, in line with the spiritual essence of the holy month.

Serving as both co-composer and lyricist, Black, whose real name is Hanifah Muhammad Hanafiah, described the song as a gentle reminder to make Ramadan a time for spiritual purification and self-reflection, rather than merely celebrating it as a festive season.

He said the main inspiration for the song stemmed from his personal experiences of embracing the Ramadan atmosphere, particularly the serenity of its nights, the prayers offered, and the sense of longing that returns each time the sacred month arrives.

“This song is also inspired by witnessing how Ramadan can soften the human heart. Even if only momentarily, its impact remains profound,” he said in a statement.

Admitting that it is not easy to deliver a song with a spiritual theme, the 39-year-old singer said one of the main challenges was ensuring the delivery remained sincere and not cliche, while also making sure the message was clearly understood by listeners.

“Most importantly, I wanted to ensure the song remains sincere and not overdone. I want the message to feel close to listeners without being too heavy or too light.

“Each line of the lyrics is arranged like a dialogue between a servant and his Creator, born from an inner voice filled with repentance and honesty,” he said.

Collaborating with singer Hazama as a co-lyricist, Black said the partnership came about spontaneously after he shared the song’s demo.

The father of Khaleef Dayyan and Rindu Dayyana said their casual discussions on the lyrics opened up room for refinement so that the song would better align with its emotional tone and melody.

“The combination of ideas made Hadirmu Ramadan more balanced and soulful,” he said, adding that the process of completing the song took several weeks.

He hopes the song will accompany listeners in their Ramadan reflections and serve as a reminder of the values of moderation and sincerity throughout the holy month.

Hadirmu Ramadan will be available for streaming on all digital music platforms starting Feb 24, while the official music video can be viewed on the Nova Music Videos YouTube channel beginning today.
