Islamic vocal performance traditions of Egypt:
Tilawa, ibtihalat, adhan, ad`iyya, tawashih, dhikr, aghani diniyya, inshad dini, inshad sufi
Note that the semantic scope of each of these words is different, and except aghani diniyya none of them overlaps with either musiqa or ghina' - indeed to imply an overlap is somehow sacrilegious:
- musiqa: (a) theoretical-philosophical tradition, or (b) melodic instrumental music (possibly combined with vocals).
- ghina': singing (for entertainment or aesthetic pleasure)
Nevertheless, the religious genres almost always draw on the maqamat, and performance develops audience response reminiscent of tarab (even if that word is not preferred).
Supplications in prayer (ad`iyya)
