Dawlat al-Islam Qamat, also known by its English name My Ummah, Dawn Has Appeared, is an Islamist jihadi nasheed (chant) which became an unofficial anthem of the Islamic State. It was released in December 2013 and soon became their most popular song.^[1] The American magazine The New Republic referred to it as the most influential song of 2014.^[2]

The chant is a capella apart from sound effects of a sword being unsheathed, feet stomping, and gunfire. It was produced by the Ajnad Media Foundation, which produces most Islamic State songs. The song has also been used by the Nigerian jihadist group Boko Haram to accompany speeches.
