"Dawlat al-Islam Qamat" (Arabic: دَوْلَة اُلْإِسْلَامِ قَامَتْ, lit. 'The Islamic State Has Been Established'), also known by its English name "My Ummah, Dawn Has Appeared" (Arabic: أُمَّتِي قَدْ لَاحَ فَجْرٌ, romanized: Ummatī qad la-hā fajrūn), is an Islamist jihadi nasheed (chant) which became an unofficial anthem of the Islamic State. It was released in December 2013 and soon became their most popular nasheed.[1] The American magazine The New Republic referred to it as the most influential nasheed of 2014.[2]
The chant is a capella apart from sound effects of a sword being unsheathed, feet stomping, and gunfire. It was produced by the Ajnad Media Foundation ,[3] which produces most Islamic State anasheed.[4] The nasheed has also been used by the Nigerian jihadist group Boko Haram to accompany speeches.[1]
