The opening as it read in 2010
Taqwacore is a genre of punk music dealing with Islam and its culture, originally conceived in Michael Muhammad Knight 's 2003 novel, The Taqwacores .1 The name is a portmanteau of hardcore and the Arabic word Taqwa , which is usually translated as "piety" or the quality of being "God-fearing", and thus roughly denotes fear and love of the divine. Although Muslim punk music dates at least to the 1979 founding of British band Alien Kulture , and in the 90's, Nation Records act Fundamental and Asian Dub Foundation , this is the first example of US Islamist punk. Knight's novel was instrumental in encouraging the growth of a contemporary North American Muslim punk movement. The first bands to use the term taqwacore are The Kominas , Vote Hezbollah and the Sagg Taqwacore Syndicate . Other bands on the scene include Diacritical, Secret Trial Five , and Fedayeen . There is not a definitive "taqwacore sound," as artists incorporate various styles, ranging from punk to hip-hop , and musical traditions from the Muslim world ; the Kominas describe their sound as " Bollywood punk", Sagg Taqwacore Syndicate are rap and techno inspired music while Al-Thawra uses the term " raicore ", based on Arabic Raï music.2

The scene is composed mainly of young Muslim artists living in the US and other Western countries, many of whom openly reject traditionalist interpretations of Islam, and thus live their own lifestyle within the religion or without.
