Composition and release

Deen You Know was released in April 2005.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It conveys the message of Islam in a contemporary style. The songs have a social and moral message[9] to inspire others.[10][11]

The group adopted a musically thin texture. Although a few of tracks incorporate xylophone, most of the songs rely solely on drums and vocal harmonization. The drums are often pitched to add a melodic quality. The album features themes of encouraging good deeds, importance having good intentions, virtues of seeking repentance, the life of the Islamic prophets, preparations for the hereafter, hardships of life, negatives affects of intoxicants and the blessings of Allah.[12]
