His Name Is Muhammad

His Name Is Muhammad
There is no man more dear to me
Throughout the whole of history
Than the one who was sent as a guide
Leading people from darkness to light
His message was simple and clear
That there is one God whom we must all fear
Inviting people towards Allah
His name is Muhammad Mustafa
Chorus:
Balagal ula bikamalihi
Kashafat duja bijamalihi
Hasunat jami’u khisalihi
Sallu alaihi wa alihi
He is the greatest man of all time
He came to teach the whole of mankind
That we must worship only one Lord
Besides Him there is no other God
Islam is what he came to teach
To every corner of the world did he preach
That we can all come together and pray
To the one who provides every day
Chorus
He was a shelter for the orphans and the poor
He is my only ticket for the heaven door
He confirmed all that was sent before
Than the whole world do I love Him more
I swear if I only had a chance
To go back in time for one glance
At the face of Muhammad Al Ameen
I would wonder whether I had a dream

My Ummah

My Ummah
My ummah, my ummah

Rasulullah on that day
Even though we've strayed from him and his way
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way
CHORUS:
Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi
O Allah Lord of the Worlds
O Merciful and Beneficent

Let us see daylight again
Once again
Let’s become whole again
Proud again’
Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we strayed from him and his way
Look at where we were
And look at where we are
And tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no! Let us bring back our glory

The Veil (Al Hejab)

The Veil (Al Hejab)
Let’s them say about my veil
That it’s killing my youth
Let’s them exaggerate in blaming me
I belong to Religion
No, I swear I would never care
My firm will is like the mountain
What is meant by beauty
If it is easy to get
They tried to deceive me
I shouted at them to leave me
I will remain in my decency
I will never accept impudence
They will never affect my pride
I am the symbol of purity
I walk in the light of piety
Behind the best prophet
I have a proud soul
That rejects lowliness
In my path, brother
Somaya is the ideal
I am guided by Religion
Our source is pure, sister
Our path is a path of chastity
Follow it without fears
Our Religion is symbol of virtue
It never accepts vice
You are the respectable daughter of Religion
You are the descendant of notables
By my veil and decency
I impose my self-respect
I will go ahead
And never care about blames

Last Breath

Last Breath
From those around I hear a Cry,
A muffled sob, a Hopeless sigh,
I hear their footsteps leaving slow,
And then I know my soul must Fly!
A chilly wind begins to blow,
within my soul, from Head to Toe,
And then, Last Breath escapes my lips,
It's Time to leave.
And I must Go!So, it is True (But it's too Late)
They said: Each soul has its Given Date,
When it must leave its body's core,
And meet with its Eternal Fate.
Oh mark the words that I do say,
Who knows? Tomorrow could be your Day,
At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Come on my brothers let's pray
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see !
My eyes are Blind! Am I still Me
Or has my soul been led astray,
And forced to pay a Priceless Fee
Alas to Dust we all return,
Some shall rejoice, while others burn,
If only I knew that before
The line grew short, and came my Turn!
And now, as beneath the sod
They lay me (with my record flawed),
They cry, not knowing I cry worse,
For, they go home, I face my God!
Oh mark the words that I do say,
Who knows, Tomorrow could be your Day,
At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Come on my brothers let's pray
Decide which now, do not delay ....

The Prophet

The Prophet
Muhammad, `alayhis salam,
Sat quietly in the evening
His companion asked,
“O beautiful man, why do you sit here, grieving?”
“My ummah, those who follow me,
The future of their faith
Makes me worry ’til I cry.
My brothers and sisters in Islam,
Will they be strong and carry on after I die?”
The Prophet stood silently and prayed
His beard becoming wet as he cried for his fears.
“O Allah, don’t let this nation fade!”
As he pleaded through the night
The earth around him filled with tears.
“My ummah, those who follow me,
The future of their faith
Makes me worry ’til I cry.
My brothers and sisters in Islam,
Will they be strong and carry on after I die?”
A stillness fell over the land
Companions gathered near to where the Prophet lay.
As Ayesha, his wife, held tight to his hand,
The Prophet spoke again before he passed away,
“My ummah, those who follow me,
The future of their faith
Makes me worry ’til I cry.
My brothers and sisters in Islam,
Will they be strong and carry on after I die?”
Believers,Brothers and sisters in Islam,
Will we be strong and carry on
Until we die?

Ya Ummati

Ya Ummati
Come listen to her story with me,
in a world of opportunity.
A little girl has lots to say,
but everyone is so far away.
Come listen to her story with me.
Her tiny life and tiny hands shake,
ashamed of her unknown mistake.
A child’s hopes and tears in vain,
she believes she is to blame.
Listen to her story with me.
“Ya ummati answer me, why am I suffering this way?
Ummati I am so afraid. Don't I have the right to learn and play?”
A silent call to you and to me.
Too caught up with our lives to hear or see.
We will answer to Allah one day,
then what will we have to say
for busy lives so void of mercy?
“Ya ummati answer me, why am I suffering this way?
Ummati I am so afraid. Don't I have the right to learn and play?”
Allah created beauty, innocence and peace
and blessed us with the children to remind us all of these.
Allah entrusted to us all a gift to hold so near:
To teach with love - teach how to love - Allah's command is clear.
In Allah's garden there’s a flower at play,
the abandoned gift we turned away.
Had we only been brave enough to hear
her playground prayer to our deaf ear,
her smile might not haunt us today.
“Ya ummati answer me, why am I suffering this way?
Ummati I am so afraid. Don't I have the right to learn and play?”
Ya ummati we all know the answer, the ignorance must end today.
Ummati open your heart, every child has the right to learn and play,
every child has the right to grow and pray,
every child has a right.

Which Of Allah's Favour Can We Deny?

Which Of Allah's Favour Can We Deny?
Chorus:
Which of Allah's favours can we deny?
Above all creatures, he chose us to be high
To him we belong, to hime is our return
Life in this world is only sojourn
To the angels he commanded that man be respected
Shaytaan heeded not and so was he rejected
Compared to the angels we are but clay
As long as Allah we obey, we'll not go astray
As the best of his creation only us did he deem
This for us is honour this high esteem
His qudrat it is that cause winds to blow
He gives us provision so that we may grow
Chorus
To lead man astray, shaytaan made a vow
None can mislead us if to Allah we bow
It's a task to be free from shaytaan's treachery
Iman is our weapon, it's Allah's mercy
Chorus
Allah is our creator, he gave us dignity
We face evil each day, in him there is serenity
At the time appointed the world shall perish
Hope for hereafter's success is what we cherish
To show the way he sent prophets to guide
Life may be pleasant, his laws we must abide
Muhammed was the last, rahmatullil-aalameen
Through him Allah sent al-qur'aan al-mubeen
Chorus
Artist = Zain Bhikha

You Are Never Alone

You Are Never Alone
Sometimes when the world's not on your side
You don't know where to run to
You dont know where to hide
You gaze at the stars in the sky
At the mountains so high
Through the tears in your eyes
Looking for a reason to replace what is gone
Just remember, remember
That you are never alone
Chorus: You are never alone
Just reach into your heart and Allah is always there
You are never alone
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You will never be alone
So now, as you long for your past
Prepare for you future
But knowing nothing's gonna last
You see, this life is but a road
A straight and narrow path
To our final abode
So travel well O Muslim
and Paradise will be your home
and always remember that you are never alone
