Rabbani released ten more albums by the time of 2005's Suara Takbir. That album was released as a "contribution" to the Islamic holy month of Ramadhan. Rabbani tasted greater success with Pergi Tak Kembali and Intifadha even though it has been criticised. They were accused of producing mixed and shoddy albums thus damaging the image of existing nasyid songs through their innovative courage solely for commercial pursuit. They also released three compilation albums, the most recent being 2004's Yalla Beena! (English: Let's Go!).[3] After the death of the group leader and main vocalist, Mohamed Asri Ibrahim due to heart attack on August 13, 2009,[4] the position was taken by the other member, Zulkiflee and they continued to promote as 8 members with the released of new album Mahabbah on December 18, 2009.[5][6]
