Rashad became the most prominent and frequently collaborated voice in performing "Madhaha" for Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu, after the Friday prayer and during the Ramazan breakfast hours.[1] Critics praising his singing skills noted that "Rashad is one of the few singers who actually knows the technicality of singing".[1] "Feenaashey Jehunee" from the film Edhi Edhi Hoadheemey (2001) was the last released song of him which was well received by the audience and critics.[5][1] Apart from singing, Rashad played instruments including keyboard, Harmonia and guitar, as educated under the close instruction from Abdul Raheem and Mohamed Shiham.[4][1] He also studies voice training and taught the skill to interested singers and students performing in inter-school singing competition.[1] Rashad was blessed with eight children and six grandchildren before his demise. To honor his contribution to the music industry, Television Maldives dedicated one episode of the Ehan'dhaanugai series to Rashad, where his youngest child, Hassan Jalaal performed in the show.[1][6]
