As-Salam as-Sultani

The National Anthem of Oman (Arabic نشيد عمان الوطني, DMG NASID ʿ Umān al - Watani ) has its origins in a play on the British ship HMS Hawkins for the then Sultan Salutfanfare from the year 1932. The head of the ship's band was asked to mark the visit to Muscat to write a Grußfanfare for the Sultan, but this originally had a different text. Today's text was introduced in 1970 by Sultan Qaboos bin Said, after he had taken over the power and harmony of the melody has been slightly modified on 6 November 1996 again. The text mentioned in the text line since the time of the Prophet, the fact that Oman was Islamized during his lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, and thus is one of the oldest Islamic nations.
