الشابي - المستبد


ألا أيها الظَّالمُ المستبدُ .......... حَبيبُ الظَّلامِ، عَدوُّ الحياهْ

سَخَرْتَ بأنّاتِ شَعْبٍ ضَعيف ........ وكفُّكَ مخضوبة ُ من دِماهُ

وَسِرْتَ تُشَوِّه سِحْرَ الوجودِ ........ وتبدرُ شوكَ الأسى في رُباهُ

رُوَيدَكَ! لا يخدعنْك الربيعُ ........ وصحوُ الفَضاءِ، وضوءُ الصباحْ

ففي الأفُق الرحب هولُ الظلام ......... وقصفُ الرُّعودِ، وعَصْفُ الرِّياحْ

حذارِ! فتحت الرّمادِ اللهيبُ .......... ومَن يَبْذُرِ الشَّوكَ يَجْنِ الجراحْ

تأملْ! هنالِكَ.. أنّى حَصَدْتَ ......... رؤوسَ الورى ، وزهورَ الأمَلْ

ورَوَيَّت بالدَّم قَلْبَ التُّرابِ ......... وأشْربتَه الدَّمعَ، حتَّى ثَمِلْ

سيجرفُكَ السيلُ، سيلُ الدماء ......... ويأكلُك العاصفُ المشتعِلْ

nativedeen - not afraid to stand alone - Still Strong

In my house, minding my biz
Sunday morning doing chores and I'm watching my kids
You know how it is, they chilling watching Sesame Street
My wife, showing me how to cook something to eat

Now this is my life, that is my wife, those are my kids
I'm working hard so we can comfortably live
Knock, Knock, somebody is at the front door
Honey, I'll get it I need to take a break from my chores

Knock, Knock, it just went from knock to a pound
Now who is this clown, trying to take my smile to a frown
Knock, Knock, it just went from pound to a bang
Now this is insane and now I hear 'em yelling my name

I open the door, and what do I see
Its like 23 agents looking at me
They threw the cuffs on my hands and my face to the floor
Dragged away, my family crying at the front door

Chorus
AAAAGGGGHHHHH, we're not breaking, we're still strong
No matter what they do we're moving on

AAAAGGGGHHHHH, we're not breaking, we're still strong
No matter what they do we're moving on

We're still moving on

And they was asking me that and asking me this
Accusing me of being on somebody's terrorist list
I had to resist, I want a lawyer is all I would say
But they said that they would torture me all night and all day
And so I would pray for God to give me strength to get through
If the evidence I knew, I would prove it untrue
Osama Bin who, they want to say I support him
If I don't give in, I'll never see my family again
Its been more than 10 months since they dragged me from home
4 hours questioning and 20 in my cell alone………..

So you wanna break me? nah I'm still strong,
Sti--ll wanna hate me? I´ll prove you wrong
wait and you'll see- I was right - all along,
but as for now let me do- do my thing, let me sing this song.

Its not Islam or Christianity, Its all of the humanity
The religion of vanity drives people to insanity
My soul and my anatomy are patient with calamity
I'll never use profanity just let me see my family

Chorus

Yeah, let me see now, where do I start
Still the ANTAGONIST, still playing same part
Same old script, yeah same old drama
Only this time -- you trying link me with Osama
Yep, its me! -- public enemy number one
Your specific intelligence nothing but a con
So tell me mr. officer what you got on me?
-TRUMPED UP charges man, clear for all to see
-What did I do now? what is my crime
Please can you tell me why I'ma be doing this time.
Is it coz I put my head on the ground? my foot in the sink?
There gotta be something, man! Tell me what you found
Is it my beard, or the funny way I walk?
The rhymes I be spitting? Or the way I was born to talk?
I'm an Innocent convict, victim of this era
Oppression in the guise of a war on terror
- My lyrical pen is still mightier than their sords
That's why I be in the pen praying to my loord
- Like P said, they won't let- me -out
The faith in my heart that's what its all- about
I'm one of them mooozlems, so best lock me up
That's why I'm rrright here - stuck in this rut
Keep my head high cant no one take my pride
Nothing but a test from Him, we gotta take in stride.
Chorus

My ummah, my ummah

If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way

Proud again
’Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past

(O Allah, send your peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the Unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions.)
O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They’re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.

Yet Allah sent him to those who were pagans

From his hand in the fountain

Please protect me from Shaytan and all of his treason
Let him not with his whispers my iman ever weaken
My only wish in this life
Is to attain Your Pardon

Chorus
Hayya 'ibad Allah
(Come O servants of Allah)
Ahibba Allah
(O you who love Allah)
Sallu 'ala an-Nabi
(Send salutations to the Prophet)
On a clear and moonlit night
In the dark cave of Hira
A man began to cry
Oh Allah show me the light
Tell me why I was created
Where will I go after I die?
What’s the purpose of this life
Where people murder and lie?
How can I stop their corruption?
Oh Allah You’re my only Guide.

Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
(You are the object of my love,
your remembrance are the only words I speak throughout my days)
On that clear and blessed night
Jibra'il came to Hira

Until he thought he would die
Read O Muhammad read
In the name of your Lord
By Allah you’ve been chosen
Over the whole of mankind
You’ve been elevated high
Like the moon up in the sky

Chorus
He’s a mercy for mankind
His speech was gentle and kind

Mankind lived in the darkness
Everyone alive was just blind
His message brought the light
To the hearts that had no sight
In mercy he’s the ocean
While others are drops of rain.

Ya Habibi ya Mustafa
Anta gharami, dhikruk kalami, kulla ayyami
Forever we’ll be indebted

Whenever his name is mentioned
Our tears begin to flow
Oh Allah send your blessings
On al Mustafa

Sami yusuf - Al Mu'allim - Al Mu'allim

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu'allim...

Chorus
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.

(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
He prayed while others slept
While others ate he’d fast,
While they would laugh he wept
Until he breathed his last,
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper,
Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Mu'allim..

And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly,
His speech was soft and gentle,
Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Mother (arabic)

Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me

Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you

You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you

Ummahu, ummahu, ya ummi
wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi
Ummuka, ummuka, ummuka ummuka
Qawlu rasulika
Fi qalbi, fi hulumi
Anti ma’i ya ummi
Mother... Mother... O my mother
How I long to see O mother
“Your mother, Your mother, Your mother”
Is the saying of your Prophet
In my heart, in my dreams
You are always with me mother

Ruhti wa taraktini

You went and left me
O light of my eyes
O comfort of my nights
You went and left me
Who, other than you, will embrace me?
Who, other than you, will cover me?
Who, other than you, will guard over me?
Your pardon mother, forgive me

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Munajat

Wahdi fi dhulmati layli
Fi wahshati darbi
Hammi yuthqiluni
Dhanbi yu’limuni
Alone, in the darkness of my night
In the loneliness of my path
My worries weigh me down
My sins pain me

Wahdi, ad’uka wa arju
Min dhanbi ashku
Mali siwak

Alone, I supplicate to You and I hope
From my sins I complain
I have no one but You
I am at Your door

For I am poor and in need of You

My heart has returned to walk on the path
Full of joy and longing, flying to God
And its only hope is gaining your pleasure
On the day of meeting You
You are the Omnipotent

CHORUS

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Free

What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me

My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care

CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...

My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see...
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?

For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:

But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Eid song

Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS:
La ilaha illallah
Muhammad rasulallah
La ilaha illallah

‘Alayhi salatullah

Children are wearing new clothes
Bright colours fill the streets
Their faces full of laughter
Their pockets full of sweets
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

Mosques are full of worshippers
in rows straight and neat
Their Lord they remember, His name they repeat
Their hands are raised to the sky
They supplicate and plead
On this blessed day
Forgive us they entreat
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

People are giving charity
And helping those in need
In giving they’re competing
Today there is no greed
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

CHORUS

Enemies embracing each other
All hatred is buried
Everyone is celebrating
Greeting everyone they meet
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Make a Prayer

O people
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day

O people
Somewhere dark and out of the way
Aids has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do

For our brothers in Durban
For our sisters in Darfur
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?

You might ask yourself
Why should I help these people?
They’ll tell you why
We’re not so different from you
We have dreams just like you
But they were buried with the
bodies of our loved ones

O people
Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?

O people
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach what we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness

Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia
For our sisters in Rwanda
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Muhammed

Dedicated to the innocent children of Beslan

Every day I see the same headlines
Crimes committed in the name of the divine
People committing atrocities in his name
They murder and kidnap with no shame
But did he teach hatred, violence, or bloodshed? No... Oh No

He taught us about human brotherhood
And against prejudice he firmly stoodHe loved children, their hands he’d hold
And taught his followers to respect the old
So would he allow the murder of an innocent child? Oh No...

CHORUS:
Muhammad ya rasulallah
Muhammad ya habiballah
Muhammad ya khalilallah
Muhammad

Muhammad ya rasulallah
Muhammad ya shafi’allah

Muhammad the light of my eyes
About you they spread many lies
If only they came to realise
Bloodshed you despise

CHORUS

Sami yusuf - My ummah - Try not to cry

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor
Don’t show your tears

CHORUS:
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you

Isam:
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say

For me in this path that I walk on
there's only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

CHORUS

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise

CHORUS

Lenny:
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust

Waqas:
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom

Isam:
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

Spread the word Islam
Oh Fortunate One
Paradise must be won (x2)

Each Day and each night
Through Darkness and Light
Cry it out to the World

Spread the Word, Spread the Word
Spread the Word O'Man,
Spread the World of Islam

Every difficulty faced in our lives
Makes us realize that it's part of Allah' plan
Feeling stronger we take it in our stride
He will always favour the patient one
While we spread the word of Islam
Every sigh, sad goodbye
Every tear from my eye
Every yes, every no
Every high, every low

zain bhikha - Mount Hira

The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at Rasulullah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibril
He said o Muhammad, O Rasulullah
And so he walked, into Makkah
In his heart echoed Iqra, Iqra
And from the world, darkness was gone
with salvation, rising with dawn
for here was a blessing, a gift from Allah
and the light of Muhammad, outshone that star

Muhammad is, and always will be
the last and final Prophet of Allah
He was a mercy, unto the universe
peace and blessings be on Al-Mustafa

So he began, this perfect man
SendIng hIs word, across the land
leading only, by his sunnah
And the Quran, the word of Allah
He brought the answer to this cruel world
Our beloved Prophet, Muhammad

Muhammad is, and always will be
the last and final Prophet of Allah
He was a mercy, unto the universe
peace and blessings be on Al-Mustafa

So from that cave, in Mount Hira
To the holy city of Madinah
in life and death, he showed Islam
Opened our hearts to the wealth of Iman
So o Allah, hear my dua
Keep me as part of the Prophets ummah

Muhammad is, and always will be
the last and final Prophet of Allah
He was a mercy, unto the universe
peace and blessings be on Al-Mustafa

The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at Rasulullah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibril
He said o Muhammad, o Rasulullah
He said o Muhammad, Nabi of Allah

zain bhikha - Allah is Enough for Me

When he was placed in the well
or locked in the dungeon
betrayed by his own flesh and blood
convicted of what he did not
handsome Yusuf sighed
Allah is enough for me!

Taken in as a slave
made to work night and day
resisting all temptation
Allah is enough for me!

Until the king had a dream
Many hard years had gone by
patience and repentance
Allah is enough for me!

Till...the fortunate day
there he sees his father
in the land of content
Allah is enough for me!

Handsome Yusuf cried
Allah is enough for me!

Every night brings a new day
Allah alleviates all pain
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!

Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!

Allah is enough for me!

zain bhikha - Where We Belong

Once, I was drowning in my fears
and the twinkle in my eye dissappeared
and I had no way to look on
my horizon seemed to have gone
and my whole life seemed empty and bleak
each day and night the answers I seek

But when the darkness seems so strong
and I couldn't go on
to the sky I raise my hands
making right what was so wrong I found the strength to carry on
upto heaven where I belong

In life, there are lessons to be learned
with steadfastness, paradise is earned
and if all hope seems to be gone, just hold on 'til after the storm
and if you ask what purpose have I? why am I here and why do I cry?

And when the darkness seems so strong
and you just can't go on
pray for your helping hand
you'll see the sun will rise again
you'll find the strength to carry on
upto heaven where you belong

'coz life is but a journey for us all
we cry, we laugh we run, sometimes we fall
but through it all always recall God never gives a burden too tall

When the darkness seeems so strong
and I can't go on
to the sky i raise my hands
making right what is so wrong
I find the strength to carry on
upto heaven where I belong

Coz when the darkness seems so strong
and I cant go on,
to the sky I raise my hands making right what is so wrong
I find the strength to carry on
upto heaven where I belong

upto heaven, heaven where I belong

zain bhikha - Al-Khaliq

(Chorus): La illaha Ill Allah
Muhammad Dur-Rasullullah
Sall-Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam

Al Khaaliq made the oceans
Rivers, lakes, streams and rain
Bow their waves in pure submission
Upon the earth to praise his name

Chorus

There is no creature among us
Upon the air or in the sea
That does no sing with wonder
Praising in community

Chorus

The dry earth is a sign
To all of mankind
Brought to life with peaceful rain
And to us Allah will do the same

zain bhikha - Orphan Child

Orphan Child

She was just standing there, little girl all alone
Barely covered head to toe, barely just twelve years old
Why is she all alone, why's the world just so cold
Why don't we play our part what has hardened our hearts?
What has hardened our hearts?

Underneath the waterfall, million dollar shopping mall
Two boys play their games, helps to keep them nice and warm
Thousand people walking by, feeding their vain desire
Don't they see, are they blind, Allah loves the orphan child
Allah loves the orphan child

Like our Beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon Him
He was an orphan and Allah sheltered him
What status is given to these children… children?

Just by the riverside, right next to that orphan child
Families come to play, they don't see that's where she stays
Looking through empty eyes, who cares that she might die
O my child, don't you cry, Allah loves you more than I
Allah Love's you more

She was standing there, barely just twelve years old
What has hardened our hearts, why's the world just so cold.

zain bhikha - A Way of Life

Do you know what Islam is?
It’s a way of life for all
It is taught in the Qur’an
For big and small

Chorus:
A way of life, a way of life
A way of life, a way of life
Islam is a way of life
A complete way
Do you know what Islam says?
It says that life’s the greatest test
It says that life’s a borrowed space
Returned upon rest

Islam solves all of it’s problems
Allah leaves no stone unturned
Perfect with no flaws at all
Are the laws of Allah

zain bhikha - Although I Never Saw his Face

Although I never saw his face
So beautiful bestowed with grace
My heart just yearns to be like him
Although I never saw his face
The Sunnah of the Prophet I will embrace
Prayers and blessing I pour onto him
Although I never saw his face
He loved the children and the old
Gave his heart to every soul
Nursed the sick and served the poor
Fed the hungry at his door
Loved the creatures tame and wild
Comforted the orphan child
Bid men peace, cared for the youth
Allah’s Messenger in truth
So with devotion I do read
His life of which I try to lead
No deed is mine except is his
Although I never saw his face
Muhammad is his blessed name
Called for Tawhid when he came
He was honest, very kind
Greatest teacher to mankind
Brought us guidance so complete
Taught us how to pray and eat
Always practised what he knew
Never strayed from what is true
While in the sunnah you’ll recall
Are detailed teachings for us all
And no more Prophets there will be
For he’s the final one you see
His life he was prepared to give
At Uhud, Badr, Ta’if
Brought to us holy Qur’an
Very heart of our Islam
On the plains of ‘Arafat
Gave last sermon for Ummah
Passed away in Madinah
Lived only to worship Allah

zain bhikha - Go Forward Young Muslims

zain bhikha - You Are Never Alone

Sometimes when the world's not on your side
You don't know where to run to
You don't 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

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

zain bhikha - Have you heard

Each day we are reminded
and each day we say
there’s not much that we can do
it seems so far away
So we live our lives in silence
pretending not to hear
the voices of our people
The cry is so so clear
Why do we stand by spectating
while our brothers cry jihad?
We are bound by one conviction:
we believe in Allah

Chorus:
Have you heard of Kosova, of Afghanistan?
Have you heard of Palestine [2nd chorus: Bosnia]
of Chechan?
Have you heard of all these people
persecuted in their land?
Do you know that all these people are dying for Islam?
Have you heard, have you heard
have you heard?

Each day is like another
Nothing seems to change
Today he'll lose his brother
Tomorrow will be the same
Yet his faith makes him stronger
he’s come so so far
The pain in his heart is eased
by his love for Allah
O I envy you my brother
in adversity you pray
You know that heaven awaits you
at the end of this day

FORTUNATE IS HE

Fortunate is he
Who remembers Allah abundantly
Worldly distractions cannot mildly sway
His thoughts of Allah and Judgement day

Righteous is he
Who bows to one he cannot see
Whose deeds do not spring without Bismillah
Fulfilling his tasks with perfect taqwa

Devout is he
Who supplicates to Allah intensively
Whose heart is merciful, tender and kind
His gaze on life after, this world behind

Prosperous is he
Who spends his wealth on the poor and needy
Who speaks a kind word to kin and neighbour
Ever-grateful for Allah's favours

Guided is he
Who prays salaat with punctuality
Early morning, tahajjud he prays
For Allah's pleasure and nearness he craves

God-fearing is he
Who contemplates death early
Who starts as he sees his demise
And tears fall over wasted sacrifice

Blessed is he
Who sings Allah's praises fervently
Blessed be all alf of Allah's slaves
Allah's mercy be with them always

zain bhikha - City of Medina

Mercy and Blessings from above,
descend ceaselessly on Medina
People feel the joy, people feel the love,
in the city of Rasullullah
A perfect path he laid for everyone,
He lived and died for us, what have I done
I have forsaken his life; I have abandoned his way,
Oh Allah now my time has come

Deep in my heart I feel a change has begun
Deep in my soul I feel the warmth of the sun
Burning bright with Imaan on the road to Ihsaan
All my obstacles I will overcome

Chorus:
Peace be upon Rasullullah
Peace be upon Habibillah
Peace be upon Muhammad
Peace be upon ShafiAllah
Peace be upon Khairakhilqillah
Peace be upon Muhammad
Last of the Ambiyaa
Without his sunnah, we're disgraced,
People rushing in order to embrace
The Rahmah that Allah sends down to this place
To the city of Medina

Every language and colour you can see
There is unrivalled hospitality
And dates that's as sweet as the smile of a child
Oh I feel so unworthy

Chorus
Oh how my mind races back in time
To the day in Medina he arrived
And all the people came running happily outside
To welcome the Messenger

For his call was to worship the One
Their hearts united with the beating of the drum
And the children were singing praises to him
I wish I couldնe been there with them

Chorus
Standing before him I realize that I have strayed
Oh Allah, give me the strength to mend my ways
With tears in my eyes, I sincerely pray

Chorus

abu khater - Forgive Me When I Whine

Today, upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair,
And in my heart I wished that I was just as fair
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs to walk upon and the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy; met a boy who had such charm.
We talked, he seemed so happy, if I were late, it do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me, "Thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes to see the world and the world is mine.

Later that day on my way, I saw a boy with eyes of blue.
He watched the other children play; he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He kept on looking straight ahead and then I knew he could not hear
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears to hear the world and world is mine.

With legs to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know
Oh the world is mine

I stopped for a moment, just look how much I have
Everywhere, in all our lives, these are His signs

Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine

zain bhikha - Sabr and Shukr

There was so much on my mind in my bed I lay
I turned to my side and I heard a voice say
Stop all your whining, heart rates declining
You've got so much more than most
Look how you're sleeping, how much you've eaten
Don't you know that you're supposed to say

Chorus:
Sabr and Shukr are wonderful things
The praises to Allah we should always sing
when things go right it's from Him not me
And when they are wrong, we get through patiently

I got out of bed, began to walk
Bumped into some folks and we started to talk
Did you hear about the killing, the bloodshed the stealing
The grass got burned on the other side
Soldiers a coming, people a running
All that's left is the orphan child

Chorus
Bridge:
I opened my eyes and began to see
Everything that's happening around me
What seemed half empty now seems so full
There's no use crying over what's been spilled
While babies are dying, mothers are crying
Their containers have never even been filled

Chorus (Half)
Inn Allah ha, Ma As Saabireen

I opened my eyes, began to see
Everything that's happening around me

Chorus (Half)

zain bhikha - Here I Am

Lately I have been wondering so
Wondering 'bout what do I know
About this life and where do I go
After I die, how can it be so?
That some people say that it all ends
When into my grave I descend
But how can my aim of heaven be flawed
When my only wish is to be with my Lord

Chorus:
Oh Lord, here I am, pleading at your door
Send me Your mercy, send me Your peace or I am lost for sure
Oh Lord, here I am, yearning for the / your cure
This humble servant will be diverted from you no more...no more

And so I was called to the places my Lord
The places my Lord has blessed for all
Joining the millions that day I walked
For my eternal salvation I sought
And standing before him with all I have
two empty hands and a humbled man
I pledged my very life to Him, Oh Lord, here I am

Chorus:

zain bhikha - Shaitaan

Chorus:
Oh Shaitaan, I'm gonna throw you down, throw you down right into the ground
Oh Shaitaan, I'm gonna throw you down, throw you down right into the ground

For so many years you've been pestering me
Whispering and snickering in my ear

Chorus

Ooh

On this blessed day you pale and weak
Hiding in the corner filled with grief
Cos People come a marching praising Allah
Casting you right out of their hearts

Chorus
You pledged to Allah, your only desire
To take us all with you straight to the fire
But Allah has supreme power,
he will devour
Your plans for believers till cometh the Hour

Chorus
You've been causin trouble since time began
A snake in the garden you tricked the first man

Chorus
With every pebble I toss in the hole
I'm building my armor around my soul

Ooh

Chorus
I'm telling myself now it's about time
There aint no way you gonna mess with my mind
Oh Shaitaan, don't you slow me down
I'm making my way to the right part a town

All across, ocean and land
Incumbent on all man
Is the pilgrimage to Mecca
Fifth pillar of Islam
In the footsteps of Muhammed (PBUH
The last prophet of Allah

Chorus:
Bow Down, Bow down and praise Allah
First sight of the Ka'bah
Break down and Praise Allah

The path, this journey from afar
To the city of Makkah
To strengthen what we believe in
The voyage we undertake
Hear the echo in the wind
Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik

Chorus
Ismaeel, son of Ibraheem
Lay on the burning sand
With his mother running frantically
Between Safa and Marwa
From the sky came Angel Jibraeel
Brought a blessing from Allah...Allah

Chorus
It isn't always easy, there is so much we don't know
So many people in this world just don't know which way to go
But if our faith prevails
We'll always do our very best
To have the strongest conviction
And survive the greatest test

Here we are, leaving Mina

Conviction in our hearts
Crying out to the heavens
On the plains of Arafah
Standing proud beside my brother
Silent at Muzdalifah

Chorus

zain bhikha - Heart of a Muslim

Looking up at the sky, searching for Allah most High
He rejected the way of worshipping Gods of clay
Prophet Ebrahim knew that Allah was near
And that the heart of a Muslim is sincere

Under the hot burning sun, he declared God is one
Though with stones on his chest, his Imaan would not rest
The Muadhin knew that right would conquer wrong
And the heart of a Muslim must be strong

Chorus:
It's the heart of a Muslim through the guidance of Islam
That makes you fair and kind and helpful to your fellow man
So living as a Muslim means that you must play a part
Allah looks not at how you look, but what is in your heart

In our poor meager state, little food on our plate
Mother said she was glad, always sharing what we had
When I asked how can we share what's not enough
She said the heart of a Muslim's filled with love

He said its time you should know, you will learn as you grow
That some people around will do what's bad to bring you down
Father said to be a star that's shining bright
For the heart of a Muslim does what's right

Chorus
So whatever you, make sure your words are true
Honesty is the best, because life is a test
Even if it hurts so much you want to cry
For the heart of a Muslim does not lie
Chorus

zain bhikha - I am a muslim

WHEN I WAS BORN, THE FIRST WORDS THAT I HAD HEARD
WERE THE WORDS OF ALLAH BEING WHISPERED THROUGH MY EAR

AND AS I LEARNED THE CRUEL LESSONS OF LIFE
ISLAM SHONE THROUGH AS MY GUIDING LIGHT

I KNOW NOT WHEN ALLAH WILL CALL ME HOME
THIS LIFE I LED, O' WHAT A BLESSED THING
AS DEATH COMES TO ME THESE WORDS I WILL SING


CHORUS: (2X)

zain bhikha - Which of Allah's favours can we deny?

Chorus:

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

zain bhikha - Mountains of Makkah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you say
Of the day that Abraham passed your way
And He was instructed by God to build
A House of peace where people will pray

And they will come on every lean camel and out of every ravine
For the purpose of praising Allah, to glorify Allah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you tell
Of the day when stones from the sky fell
Destroying an army determined to break
The House of Allah that Abraham built

Oh Mountains of Mecca, how was the dawn
On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born
How did it feel knowing he was to be, the last and most beloved of all
Rasul of Allah, Nabi of Allah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, you were there
When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair
Engraved in his heart were the words of his Lord
To all of mankind this was his call

La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
Oh people praise only Allah, Glorify Allah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, how did you mourn
On the day that the beloved returned to his Lord
And up till the last breath escaped from his lips
He prayed that his Ummah would find success

Oh Mountains of Mecca how will it feel
When the earth shall quake and tremble with fear
And we shall be gathered together to stand
In the court of Allah with our deeds at hand

Oh how we pray that on that day, we'll be with those to whom Allah will say
Peace be with you, I am pleased with you

Oh Mountains of Mecca, Bear witness that I
To the oneness of Allah do I testify
For all that He's given me, How can I deny
My purpose in life should be only to cry

La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad's His Messenger
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Nabi Allah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah

zain bhikha - Our World

Every morning on every news flash
I hear the sorrow of the world
It seems like everybody's lost and
Scared trying to make sense of it all
And as I travel to and fro, so many faces pass me by
I see lonely hearts living lonely lives just biding their time
And while we call ourselves civilized, many people living empty lives
As they drone their way through day and night

Chorus

I pray for our world, I pray for every child
I pray for our world to be filled with smiles
Like the colours of a rainbow and not just black and white
I pray for our world to be filled with light
I pray for all of us, to choose the path that's right
To believe in Allah every day of our lives

In the evening on the TV news, I see images of war.
I see brother killing brother with no consequence at all.
And while those who claim to be leaders, sell us tales of deceit.
But Allah alone know in their hearts what they reveal and conceal.
And while we call ourselves civilized,
We go on killing human lives
Too caught up in our own web of lies

Chorus

Every mother, every father, every daughter, every son
Don't you see, that the answer lies only with the One

zain bhikha - Praise to the Prophet Pbuh

Praise to the Prophet Pbuh

Amid the confusion, the chaos and the pain
A man emerged and Muhammad was his name
And walking with nothing but Allah as his aid
And the mark of a prophet between his shoulder blades
In a cave in mount hira, the revelation came
Read o Muhammad, read in Allah’s name
May the blessings of Allah be on al-mustafaa (the selected one)
None besides him could have been al-mujtabaa (the chosen one)

Muhammad, peace be upon his soul
The greatest of prophets, Islam was his only goal
Muhammad, salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
From among all the prophets, Muhammad was the last
As his was a mission of the greatest task
There was only moral degeneration
People clung to idol adoration
For all nations, he was al-mukhtaar (the preferred one)
So was he praised by Allah, al-ghaffaar
The bearer of glad tidings, al-basheer
Leading into light, as-seeraj-al-muneer (lamp of Radiance)

In handling the wicked, he had the best of skill
He pacified with tolerance and goodwill
The best of morals he aimed to attain
All he accomplished through suffering and pain
Reviving imaan as al-muthakkir (the reminder)
He is known in the qur'aan as al-mud-dath-thir (covered up)
Only he was given the honour of miraaj
Unique was this glory to Muhammad as-seeraj (the lamp)

He was ad - da'ee illAllah hil azheem
All hadi elaa seerauteem mustakeem
His mission complete, his held in great esteem
Allah praised him as bil-khuluqil azeem
May the blessings of Allah be on mustafaa
None besides him could have been al-mujtabaa
So perfect were his morals, so justly did he rule
Darkness had vanished and the word was full of noor

Balagha ’l-ula bikamalihi
Kashafa ’d-duja bijamalihi
Hasunat jami‘u khisalihi
Sallu alayhi wa ‘alihi

Muhammad, peace be upon his soul,
The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal.

zain bhikha - Can’t you See

Chorus:
It's happening more and more each day
These drugs making my friends crazy
I'm laying it down...
Don’t bring it around...
Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free

Verse 1:
I used to see my buddy Fayaz looking all depressed
I guessed, that he was in some major tests
After class, we used to go and play some ball,
He was fast and tall, he surpassed us all,
But after a while I'd see him playing less and less,
He be looking more depressed and stressed at best
So one day after class, I took him aside,
I said tell me what's going on, man are you alright?
He said I got some issues with my folks I cant resolve
No need to stress you out Bro, or get you involved
So I put it to him, have you started smoking weed
And the answer that he gave me really made be grieve
He said yeah once in a while when I need to mellow out
But I'll be alright, I'm not the one to worry about
Yo we got to get you help before you ruin yourself
You got greatness ahead, you aint like everyone else
He said I promise I'll be fine and he gave me his hand
So I trusted him and hoped that he would soon understand
Couple months went by and he be worse and worse
Like he was thrown in a curse, I hoped that he would reverse
then one day, he asked me for a couple a bucks
He said he needs to pay a friend and right now he's stuck,
I said I know you smoking crack now, confirmed that for a fact now
I gotta get you help now, don't even try to back down
Gave him the money, he promised Monday he would meet me
Friday got the call that would defeat me completely
Fayaz had died of a drug over dose
It was the saddest day ever - aint nothing comes close
Man I hate those drugs, hate ‘em with all of my soul
chokes the young and the old, till their bodies is cold
So I don't care if you're a player or a wanna-be thug
Don't ever, ever come close to drugs

Chorus:
It's happening more and more each day
These drugs making my friends crazy
I'm laying it down...
Dont bring it around...
Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free

Verse 2:
Months later, was still mourning his death
Was angry and sad that he fell in this mess
A teacher who noticed how miserable my soul was, Came Over
He said I see your carrying a boulder
I know that I'm older, but let me tell you something that I never ever told ya - Put my arms around his shoulder
My daughter, she was the pride of my heart
As a father, we were never far apart
Was a popular girl, always on top of the world
Never scared to try something new and give it a whirl
But she had low self-esteem, If you know what I mean
And it only takes a moment, Yo, to devastate a dream
She started hanging with this girl from school
Her Grades went down and she started breaking rules
And it festered and festered - we didn't want to face it
Til one day, she came home totally wasted
Then friend told us she was close to being arrested
We put our foot down and we forced her to get tested
She tested positive for drugs, but there was something else
The doctor asked to do more tests to check up on her health
And then came the news, that would totally defeat me,
Her use of all the needles, she had gotten HIV
I was livid, that moment and that feeling I will always live with it,
Man It's still vivid
She died 5 years ago, nothing I could help
My Lord has helped me with this pain that I felt
With tears in me eyes, Yo I gave him a hug,
May God give you strength to keep away from drugs

..keep away from drugs, ..keep away from drugs

Chorus:
It's happening more and more each day
These drugs making my friends crazy
I'm laying it down...
Dont bring it around...
Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free

zain bhikha - Flowers are Red

A little boy went first day at school
He got some crayons and he started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
The teacher said, "What you doin' young man?"
"I'm paintin' flowers see"
"Well this is not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one"
And she said...
"Flowers are red
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen "
But the little boy said...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
Well the teacher said… "You're sassy
There's a way that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me..."
she said...
"Flowers are red
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen "
But the little boy said again...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
Well the teacher put him in a corner
She said… "It's for your own good…
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
responding like you should"
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to that teacher
And this is what he said
"Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen"

Well time went by like it always does
he moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said..."Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's paint every one"
that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him "why"
This is what he said..
"Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen."
But there must still be a way to have our children say,
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

Chorus
Lay down your head
And go to sleep
May you dream
Of gardens sweet
Close your eyes
And dream away
Of Allah’s gifts
To you this day

The sun that rose upon your head
As you lay within your bed
Green grass, blue skies and waters deep
Of this and more, dream in your sleep.

Chorus

The earth and all that it contains
With Allah’s blessing, He sustains
Remember this, my dear, in sleep
That Allah’s pleasure we must seek.

Chorus

Allah created all you see
The mountains, birds and humming bees
To Him we will return one day
So turn to Him again and pray.

Chorus

And as you drift off to sleep
In my heart your love I’ll keep
You are so special my dear.
Cause Allah brings our hearts so near.

zain bhikha - My Mom is Amazing

She wakes up early in the morning with a smile
And she holds my head up high
Don’t you ever let anybody put you down
Cos you are my little angel

Then she makes something warm for me to drink
Cos it’s cold out there, she thinks
Then she walks me to school, Yes I aint no fool
I just think my Mom is amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS
She makes me feel
Like I can do anything
and when she’s with me
there’s no where else, I’d rather be…

After School, she’s waiting by the gate
I’m so happy that I just can’t wait
To get home to tell her how my day went
And eat the yummy food, only my Mom makes

Then I wind her up cos I don’t wanna bath
And we run around the house with a laugh
No matter what I say, she gets her way
I think my Mom is amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS

In the evening, she tucks me into bed
And I wrap my arms around her head
Then she tells me a tale of a girl far away
Who one day became a princess

I‘m so happy, I don’t want her to leave
So she lies in bed with me
As I close my eyes, how lucky am I
To have a Mom that’s so amazing

BRIDGE/CHORUS

Then I wake up in the morning, she’s not there
And I realize she never was
And I’m still here in this lonely orphanage
With so many just like me

And as my dreams begin to fade
I try hard to look forward to my day
But there’s a pain in my heart that’s a craving
How I wish I had a Mom that’s amazing
Would be amazing

zain bhikha - Pizza in his pocket

Did you ever hear about the boy
Who ate and ate and ate!
He ate early in the morning
And he ate when it was late.

But he didn’t thank Allah for all the yummy food he had
And he ate so much it made him sick!
Which really made him sad.

He ate dates in Damascus, which he thought were very nice.
And hot samoosas in Sumatra, seasoned with a special spice.

He had tacos in Tijuana with some sauce he got from Spain
And a bowl of fresh bakalava that he bartered in Bahrain.

He said gyros made in Cairo are a taste that can’t be beat,
And the lemonade in Yemen made a very special treat.

But the turkey made in Turkey
Could still use a pinch of salt.
If you ever visit Malta, you should
Have a chocolate malt!

He had pizza in his pocket, he had ketchup on his shirt,
And he bought an ice-cream sundae, so he wouldn’t miss dessert.
He had pizza in his pocket, he had ketchup on his shirt,
And he bought an ice-cream sundae, so he wouldn’t miss dessert.


On a bay in the Bahamas,
He ate bon-bons in a bunch.
And then he rushed back
Home so he could make it
Just in time for lunch!

Then one day he saw a little girl, who held her tummy tight,
And he walked over and asked her if everything was alright.

She said she was so hungry and had been hungry for so long,
Then he realized the way he ate was very very wrong.

He looked down at his own tummy and he started feeling pain-
Pain from eating too much food, but he knew not to complain.
So he brought the girl some food, shared it with her family,
Then they thanked Allah for what they had, and then he let them be.

So let’s try to learn a lesson and let’s try to do what’s right.
Eat the food your parents give you without a fuss or fight.

Always be thankful to Allah for all your yummy food,
Share what you have with others, because not sharing is rude.

Being thankful is what’s really great.
Eat the veggies on your plate.

And don’t be like the boy who always ate and ate and ate!

He had pizza in his pocket, he had ketchup on his shirt,
And he bought an ice-cream sundae, so he wouldn’t miss dessert.
He had pizza in his pocket, he had ketchup on his shirt,

zain bhikha - A child’s prayer

I sometimes lie awake at night
And wonder at the stars so bright
I dream about my future too
And the things that I will do

Soon the world will count on me
I’m the future they agree
People depend on me somehow
Though small and timid, I am now

So you and I my dearest friend
Must stand together till the end
For we are one by Allah’s grace
No matter what our colour or race

We must prepare ourselves today
While we journey on our life’s way
So much there is to learn and see
For true believers we must be

Rap:
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
Go forward young Muslims, wherever you are
In the shadow of the sun or by the light of a star
Your Supreme protector is Almighty Allah
Go forward young Muslims wherever you are
Go forward young Muslims we feel your pain.
So many places, Palestine,
People are dying, mothers are crying
Bombs are falling from the sky, people asking why.
The only thing that we can do is pray to God, to help them through
But do they realize that Allah hates those who kill and despise.
I think that’s no surprise. We must rise up.
Come on young Muslims, gotta rise up.
Come on young Muslims.
Together we must stand in the Masjid to pray,
Pray for a better day, a better way
To make this world a better place.
Cause lets face it, it’s out of control.
We need to grab hold of each other, unite as one Ummah.
Like back in the days of the Companions of the Prophet,
Some were young, they were strong and they loved each other
Brothers and sisters and they could die for one another.
Yeah. Yeah.
So stand up young Muslims.
Say it out loud, it’s time to be counted.
Right here, right now.
Yeah, right here. Come on, right now.

O Allah we love you so
Give us health and make us grow
Be with us each passing day
While we journey on life’s way

Soldiers of Allah - 1924 - Sleeping Giant

The poison is injected
The giant is asleep
He’s chain into sections
To keep him off his feet
The mission is forgotten
The bond is getting weak
Wake up oh Muslim Ummah
Before we face the heat

Telling me to calm down
A year has past
since the last song
Situation has worsen
It was kosovo and Kashmir
Now it’s chechnia and dagistan
So who is next in line
Governments who claim
They implementing Islam
like who??!
Like taliban, Iran and Sudan..
All 52
So called Muslim nations
Oppressing the masses
in the name of Islam
They are digging our graves
while we are a sleep
over a billion
But oohh so weak
We need to rise up
And get back on our feet
We’ve been fooled too long
This what happens
When we let kafirs lead

Why are we losing?
Who are we amusing?
sisters are leaving
because brothers are abusing
twisting Islam’s teachings
mixing culture and pride
using Islam to justify
for the tears that she cries
when I look into her eyes
I see the pain deep inside
as she leaves and says good bye
now tell me who’s to blame
don't just sit there in shame
lets look to Islam to cure the pain
to all my sisters in pain
these oppressors are insane
they’re heading straight
to the hell fires flame

The poison is injected
The giant is asleep
He’s chain into sections
To keep him off his feet
The mission is forgotten
The bond is getting weak
Wake up oh Muslim Ummah
Before we face the heat

Imitating the kafirs
Flirting with disaster
Even our sheiks and Imams
Are dressed up like priests and pastors
Khatibs wearing long robes
Historical clothes
More puppets than puppet show
Leaving us with no solution
after their speech
Dawah based on prestige
Watch as they leach off
the Muslim Community
What ever happened to
this Ummah’s unity
NOTHING!
Excatly
They’re laughing!
Because they are acting
They cut the tongues
Of those who speak the truth
Fearing that their message
Will be passed on to the youth
You say its hard to believe
Before you nod your head
THINK!
If our Scholars spoke the truth
Why would our enemies
Give them the platform to speak

The giant is in a slumber
Islam is complete
yet the Ummah looks up
to democracy for its needs
Defeated mentality
Left us in a gutter
The giant used to
Take care of the world
Now asks the kafirs to usher
Remember the battle of Bader
They doubted us from the start
Muslims had Islam
in their minds and their hearts
they know they fear us
injecting poisons venom
so they tear us a part
this is just a reminder
take it straight to the heart
let us get back in the lead
shake the giant to wake
flourish and rejuvenate
implement only Islam
to revive and renovate

The poison is injected
The giant is asleep
He’s chain into sections
To keep him off his feet
The mission is forgotten
The bond is getting weak
Wake up oh Muslim Ummah
Before we face the heat

Brothers killing brothers
While the kafirs getting richer
Muslim blood on my fingers
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture
these organizations
Making no difference
They’re making dollars no sense
In their lack of assistance
Muslims enlisted
in the enemy’s cavalry
Firing at our own people
Muslims to Muslim fatality
On the battle scene
Surrounded by our own casualties
Under siege
By these corrupted regimes
Blood to our knees
While the great giant sleeps

Whose law are you following?
Which side are you on?
Our brothers shed blood
for the cause of the kufar
they show us “Three Kings”
when we saw them stealing
they play as heroes
when we know they are zeros
playing with our minds
trying to use us as a pawn
this is our situation
not just a sad song
let us Rise the Ummah
and follow the Sunnah
to Bring Back Islam
implement the Quran
awake this sleeping giant
that’s stronger than a lion
to chain up the shaitan
victory is promised
so work for Islam
and keep your Deen strong
we've waited too long
From here to Mecca

ALL TOGETHER NOW!


Let us Rise The Ummah!
Let us Rise The Ummah!
Let us Rise The Ummah!


The poison is injected
The giant is asleep
He’s chain into sections
To keep him off his feet
The mission is forgotten
The bond is getting weak
Wake up oh Muslim Ummah
Before we face the heat

Soldiers of Allah - 1924 - POLITICAL MANIPULATION

Press conference from the western powers:
Our mission in the Balkans is to provide peace and security for ethnic Albanians
Our mission is to dominate the world and exploit other nations
We want humanitarian aid for the citizens of Kosovo
Our goal is to make the rich get richer and poor get poor through economic exploitation
It is the right of every human being to have freedom, peace and a chance to pursue happiness
Mankind is inherently corrupt thus to contain this herds of cattle we need exploit of politics

We we’re strong
Until our Islam started slipping
Now we are used as pawns
Between the chess game of america and briton
They bond together
Cuz they’re vicious
Responding to our wishes
With their ammunition
Bear witness
We’re on the kafirs hit list
We’re staring at our stitches
Digging our ditches
While our fake leaders
Blowing the masses kisses
Behind our backs
Stealing our riches
Sending Muslim children
On suicide missions

NSA government agents
Classified information
Planning out their step by step covert operations
Working for the elite
duponts, rockefellers, and masons
Replaced our Muslim leaders
With U.S. and British Agents
Throwing the ones who call for revival of Islam
In prison cages
A hidden agenda with their affiliation
Occupying our land
with their false peace relations
Muslim land is under invasion
Using their puppets to cause deviation
Under FBI covert operations
Ummah has been segregated and separated
While our lands have been raided
By UN peacekeepers
Who are really peace-fakers
And mass-murderers and rapist
Too scared that Islam will be implemented
So they blow up buildings and blame us
Causing false accusations
Claiming we’re dangerous
Insha-Allah when the state is established
They won’t be able to tame us


Intellectual invasion
Americanization of the Muslims Nation I’m raging
Raising up above conspiracies
Agencies
Puppets of the West
And the West making peace treaties
International summit to combat terrorism
The true fear is the Islamic
System-matically
Comprehensively
Evidently
In reality we’re close to victory
Conspiracy after conspiracy
Peace in the Middle East
Never was
And never will be
Until kufur regimes slap their head on the ground bowing down to Allah
Won’t hear no cries no more
“Won’t hear no cries no more”
When the pimps stop playing
And regimes stop saying that Islam is just praying
It’s only natural when kufur ideologies manipulate people
Diplomatic hypocrisy
Democracy
Fallacy
Just look at the history
Tyranny is all I see
Misery and agony
Political blindness can’t find this in the books
We’re used as a tool for the agenda of the crooks
Peace keeping missions
Humanitarian aid
While we get rapped we hear the slogans of the snakes
Ideological politicians
Soldiers on a mission
Ready to expose their ambitions
It’s jihad when the state comes
On you statesmen
Time to shutdown all your corrupt institutions
Manipulation of the peoples minds from the media
From the West for the agenda to oppress
Their success lies in your confusion
It’s amusing for them to see you losing
NATO
The world bank
The IMF
The tools of the west
To suppress the rest
The best nation ever to rise up from mankind
With political minds
Peacekeepers of old times
Politics, meant taking care of the people,
When Islam comes back to dominate, no sequels!

Hypocrites are working hard
Behind camouflage
Claiming they’re down with the cause
But I accuse these criminals with sabotage
Surveillance-ing the spread of Islam
Straight up espionage
Telling us they have the key to paradise
It’s all a mirage
These fake Islamic leaders
Wrapping the headbands of
La-ellaha-ella-law
Around innocent Muslim believers
They want us to blow ourselves up
Into thousand pieces
Brainwashing our Ummah with lies
Making them run into mines
So they can watch them die
Selling weapons to
The opposite side
Claiming we’re fighting Jihad
They’re taking us all for a ride
Playing on both side
They been raping and killing Muslims
Hundreds of years of genocide
Working for the american goal
Finding our self in a deep hole
Comparing to Islam
But Islam has no equal
They’re using humanitarian excuse
To bomb our own people
Only way to revive this Ummah
Is to have an Islamic State sequel
