Pronunciation: sources? and Etymology edit

1. See the doubts on its enwiki Talk page. Listen also to https://forvo.com/word/qawwali/, some have /v/. [Struck, as it is in Hindi].

2. Also etymology was lacking, ending with قَوَّال‎ (qawwāl) vs. enwiki's:

Qawl (Arabic: قَوْل‎) is an "utterance (of the prophet)", Qawwāl is someone who often repeats (sings) a Qaul, Qawwāli is what a Qawwāl sings. 

so I have added

from قول‎ (“qawwal”) (saying, sentence, promise)
