Rahat owes his career to Nusrat. Copy paste!
Rahat had been trained by Nusrat since he was a little boy. So, yes he owes his career to Khan Saab as it is.

Thats the more upsetting part, Rahat didnt continue the qawwalli legacy despite being trained since childhood. Jaali singer.

Surprised why Musroor Fateh Ali Khan isn't talked about. Wrt Qawali, he is closest to NFAIK. But has limited number of Qawalis available.

Although lyrics are always amazing but this kind of music do not effect me in anyway and I cannot feel anything if I don't concentrate on lyrics. I hope that one day I can deeply feel this qawali style music like everyone else.

Would definitely love some help. I like listening to such songs in which music creates that ambient, slow, soothing atmosphere where listener goes in a state of trance. Such music allows you to contemplate on life and other such things in a relaxing manner while the singer only serves as a second fiddle to music in creating that mood.
Mostly Pink Floyd and even some alt/pop rock bands for some reason give that feeling. Bands like Strings, Noori and recently Kashmir have came out with some great songs in this sense. I guess in qawali, it is the style of singing which fails to produce that effect for me. It is usually too pronounced and that scat singing(suur taal) just goes over my head. Music mostly plays in the background and is mostly monotonous. The only song in this genre which I love is Kangana from coke studio.
All being said, Nusrat sahab must be qawali's GOAT. His vocal range and control was just amazing.

^ Fit hai I will try to find some for you 
Personally in qawwalis I try to basically see the urdu poetry and composition. Some qawwalis jinki poetry nai samjh aati, like Astan hai ye kis and Dam Hama Dam which I posted above, un qawwalis ki composition ka fan hun.

Have you listened Tum ek Gorakh Dhando ho? If not, may be you give it a try, i have shared the link on last page. But the poetry is sufiana and i dont know your beliefs. For some people sufiana kalaam is kufr and i dont want to recommend you this if you are not into sufi stuff

Such a shame the guy departed before his voice could be recorded in HD. I only discovered the guy via YouTube video and never really had any formal introduction to qawali. I enjoy listening to him from time to time and it is mesmerizing and a medicine not exaggerating.

Ok as a millennial I do sometimes wish the songs weren't 20min long and somehow an authentic shorter version like about 6-10 min was available not counting the remixes.

24 years after his demise, the construction of the mausoleum of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has been completed. The mausoleum was built by the maestro's nephew and world-renowned musician, Rahat Ali Khan. The mausoleum of the famous qawwal, located at Jhang Road Cemetery, also serves as the final resting place for Nusrat's other family members including his wife and parents as well as Rahat's father Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan.
When Nusrat passed away in August of 1997, he was buried near the last resting place of his parents as per his will. When the construction of the mausoleum was completed, Rahat travelled to Faisalabad to personally oversee the progress.
While speaking to The Independent Urdu, the Teri Ore singer said that he had built this mausoleum on his own and no one had provided any financial aid for it. "By the grace of Allah, we have brought it to completion," Rahat told the reporters. He said that he was grateful to Tahir Rafique Gohar, a disciple of Nusrat, for working day and night to make this mausoleum possible.
Talking about the role of the government in the construction of the memorial or mausoleum of the renowned musician, Rahat revealed there was some momentum regarding the issue in Asif Ali Zardari's tenure. However, after Zardari's govt, no succeeding governments paid any heed to the completion of the mausoleum.
"Alhamdulillah, we don't even need it [financial aid]," Rahat shared. "An artist of Nusrat's caliber doesn't need anyone's help. He was and is a spiritual figure. Prayers from his mausoleum are accepted and will continue to be. If someone sincerely wishes something, that is also accepted. There are people who donate in his name and we have spent on building this mausoleum."
Rahat went on to comment on how he has suggested previous and current governments set up a music academy in Nusrat's name where children can be imparted training in music. He also demanded from the government to give museum status to the birthplace of the late qawwal.
"Last year I made the same request that Khan Sahib's ancestral home where he was born to be given the status of a museum," he shared. Rahat also added that relics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and other elders of his family could be displayed in this museum so that his admirers from home and abroad could visit this place.

The pride of Pakistan and the magical voice of the sub-continent, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is being remembered on his 24th death anniversary today. Born on October 13, 1948, Fateh died in London of liver and kidney diseases at the age of 49 on August 16, 1997.
Fond of qawwali since childhood, Nusrat was initially discouraged to take up the profession since his father, Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, believed it is not paid respect to. But Nusrat learnt the tabla and received training for Raag Vidya and Bolbandish from him anyway. His musical learning, however, suffered a halt due when his father passed away. His uncles, Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan and Ustad Salamat Ali Khan then took charge of his training.
Nusrat's first performance was at his father’s chehlum.
His nephew and renowned singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has taken to Twitter to remember his mentor and the late legend. "You touched countless lives during your life and even after your death," he pointed out. "You live through your music and your family legacy. You will always be missed!" he added.
Actor Shaan Shahid also termed Nusrat a 'true ambassador of Pakistan'. He tweeted, "True ambassador of Pakistan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice and knowledge was a gift of Allah. He took Pakistan to the world and his work will never be forgotten as he lives amongst his lovers. The pride of Pakistan, may he rest in eternal peace."
Nusrat's first public performance was a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organized by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. Khan sang mainly in Urdu, Punjabi and occasionally in Persian, Brajbhasha and Hindi.
Nusrat also teamed up with Peter Gabriel for the soundtrack of The Last Temptation of Christ in 1985, with Canadian musician Michael Brook on the albums Mustt Mustt (1990) and Night Song (1996) and with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder in 1995 on two songs for the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking. He also contributed to the soundtrack of Natural Born Killers.
His album Intoxicated Spirit was nominated for a Grammy award in 1997 for best traditional folk album.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Fateh holds the world record for the largest recorded output by a Qawwali artist-a total of 125 albums as of 2001.
It is due to Nusrat's efforts and collaborations with various Western artists that qawwali is now a popular genre globally. TIME magazine's issue of November 6, 2006, 60 Years of Asian Heroes, lists Nusrat as one of the top 12 artists and thinkers in the last 60 years. Five documentaries have also been made on him.
In honour of his 20th death anniversary, Rahat had noted, "I started learning music from Nusrat when I was six. I would wait for him to give me the cue to start singing. He noticed that I was very keen about it, so he enjoyed training me as well. I want to add that whatever I perform and whatever that I am, is all thanks to my uncle. No one has contributed to the music industry the way my uncle has."
