Zain Bhikha (Hindi: ज़ैन भिखा, Urdu: زین بھکھا; born August 9, 1974) is an South African singer-songwriter, who has achieved success as a performer of Islamic nasheed songs. Associated with other Muslim musicians, including Yusuf Islam and Dawud Wharnsby, Bhikha has collaborated on albums and also released several solo albums. He has written several religious albums concerning Islam.^{[citation needed]}

Bhikha sometimes performs with a drummer and several backup vocalists who were the African singers in the Disney cartoon movie The Lion King. Bhikha did not himself contribute to that film.

Bhikha's music almost exclusively follows Islamic themes, with only voice and drums being used, since the use of musical instruments other than the voice and the drum is an area of debate in Muslim jurisprudence, considered harām, or "unlawful" by a portion of the Muslim community.^{[citation needed]}

Bhikha is currently involved in educational projects in his native South Africa as well as international initiatives to educate through song. He is also working with Indian Islamic Channel, Peace TV.^{[citation needed]}
