Ignorant Minds
Lyrics:
This is not the way it is
This is not the way it should be
You’re destroying everything,
Everything that’s dear to me.
I can never be like you
You are the wicked of this world
You are the reason why we feel fear in our daily lives.
Chorus:
And faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference!
Do not involve the innocent
Do not involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
Chorus
It is not enough to say
That you’re fighting for a good cause,
When you take their lives away,
Ask the ones that suffered their loss
Chorus
Use your mind, use your mind
It was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

Lyrics:
I gave my Salam to the mountain
And I drank from the mountain stream
And I walked upon its surface
And it all felt like a dream
And this mountain it is a Muslim
And I feel like he’s my friend
And as I climbed on to his peak
I wished it would never end
Allahu Allahu Allahu (throughout)
La Ilaha Ella Allah (throughout)
We should be like the mountain
It never complains
We should be like the mountain
It praises God and never complains
We should be like the mountain
Like the mountain
I gave my Salam to the mountain
And I strive through the wind and the snow
And something caught my eye up in the sky
And I wished it would never let go
Cause this mountain it is a Muslim
And I feel like he’s my friend
And as I climbed on to his peak
I wished it would never end
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah
On this mountain I feel complete
And while I’m here to this mountain I will speak
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah
And thank God for this wonderful day
And I know the mountain feels the same way
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah
We should be like the mountain
An awe-inspiring Muslim
As it is
We should be like the mountain
Like the mountain
La Ilaha Ella Allah
لا إله إلا الله
There’s no God but Allah
Allahu Allah

Lyrics:
If I was given one more chance
To live my life again
There would be no more mistakes
And be the best of man
I will give on and lend a hand
Just one last try
And I’ll know it’s too late
To changed the lightness mind
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
You’re wishing for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
So many regerts that a hand
Don’t have time to shared them all
And I run out the excuses
Now It’s time to take the fall
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
And you’re begging for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
‘Cause I have no more time
On this surface swarm
And If I had time
I would change it on
I will change it on ..

Lyrics:
Look around your self
Can’t you see this wonder
Spread in front of you
The clouds floating by
The sky so clear and blue
Planets in their orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus:
Open our eyes, our hearts and minds
If we just look right, we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
And let it take us by surprise
Allah protect us in the best way
Allah guide us every single day
Allah keep us close to You
Until the end of time
Look inside your self
Such perfect order
Hiding in your cells
Running in your veins
What about anger, love, and pain?
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus
When a baby is born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching it growing
Why deny what’s in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life
We just have to
Chorus
Allah You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Rabb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You…
Allhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)

Well I know it’s more than love now
Cause you mean everything
Hear you talking when you’re sleeping reality
Know you’re goin through hardship
And I know that you’re scared
But you don’t need to worry
Cause Allah is there
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
May Allah bless our way
And our intention
Stay pure every day
Be a better person
Open the gates to heaven
Guide us the way
Guide us the way
Day by day we’re getting old
And the stories that we’re told
As a kid I was listening listening
Always I’m listening listening
Somewhere a father of a child
With all the loving I provide
Children sleeping through the night the mother singing a lullaby
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost

LYRICS :
I praise Allah for sending me you my love
You’ve found your home it’s here with me, and I’m here with you
Now let me let you know
You’ve opened my heart
I was always thinking that love was wrong
But everything was changed when you came along, oh
And there’s a couple of words I want to say
Chorus:
For the rest of my life, I’ll be with you
I’ll stay by your side, honest and true
Till the end of my time, I’ll be loving you, loving you
For the rest of my life, through days and nights
I’ll thank Allah for opening my eyes
Now and forever I, I’ll be there for you
I know it deep in my heart
I feel so blessed when I think of you
And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You’re my wife, and my friend and my strength
And I pray we’re together in Jannah
Finally now I’ve found my self, I feel so strong
Yes everything was changed when you came along, oh
And there’s a couple of words I want to say
Chorus
And now that you’re here, in front of me
I strongly feel love
And I have no doubt, and I’ll sing it loud
And that I will love you eternally

As we walk through these times
When you read between the lines
You’ll see
The road a little bit more
As our generation unfold
Some stories are never told
I fear
The doors will always be closed
So I say
Share the stories
Share the lines
Read the book, to open up your mind
Spread the message in and around the world
It’s a true day
A new way
The feeling that so deep inside
The faith in our heart will always rise
Now we aim to fly with the angels
So I’ll do my best in this life
The faith in my heart is where I start
There are mountains we climb
These things always take time
Believe
And you’ll achieve your goal
Do not idolize or sin
When you feel weak find a strength within
Stay clear
From those that will bring you down
So I say
Share the stories

I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don’t you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me, those eyes, lips, you can’t deny
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family
It doesn’t matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we’re sad sometimes we’re happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family, family
I care about you and i wish you could realize
There’s no difference between us two
we’re part of one family
No matter how far you are are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister

Wash away that guilty frown
Falling rain, rising sun,
So many things to get done
I am done, it’s your turn
I’m getting old, no time to burn
Chorus:
And no one knows but me, the power that I see
And everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy
And no one knows but me, just thinking of what could be
And everybody thinks they’re the one…but me
Rise up strong! What you’ll see
Oh, is this real or imaginary?
Shining bright, the night has come
The better life has not yet begun
Here we are, lessons learned
I am done, now it’s your turn!
CHORUS
People think that I’m alone, but I feel close to You
They don’t see that I can love, but I know You do
No one knows just how I feel, only You see through to my heart
CHORUS
Hands raised high, only You can see
For no one knows…but You and me

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
CHORUS
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Ya Rabbee salli ‘aleeh
Salawatu Allahi ‘aleeh
All the poetry ever written
Every verse and every line
All the love songs in the world
Every melody and rhyme
If they were combined
They would still be unable to express
What I want to define
When I try to describe my love for you
CHORUS
Every sound and every voice
In every language ever heard
Each drop of ink that has been used
To write every single word
They could never portray
Everything I feel in my heart and want to say
And it’s hard to explain
Why I could never describe my love for you
CHORUS
There’s not a single person
Who can ever match his worth
In character and beauty
To ever walk on earth
I envy every rock and tree
And every grain of sand
That embraced his noble feet
Or that kissed his blessed hands
Ya Rasool Allah
Ya Habiba Allah
Grant us the chance to be with him
We pray to You Allah

“Let It Go” Lyrics:-
Life can be so hard sometimes
Break you up inside
All you want to do is cry
Shut the door and hide
Don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start
Chorus:
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Giving up should never be
Something you decide to do
Wipe the tears from your cheek
God knows what you’re going through
So don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start, yeah
CHORUS
I know it’s hard but believe and keep trying
And it will be okay
‘Cause in your heart is the strength to survive it
You will be okay
And in no time like the sun you’ll be shining
Just let it go away

Let it go away, let it go
Oh, let it go

So Real – Lyrics:
They say that love never lasts
That love never lives to see another day
But what I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real
I gave it up all for You
And there ain’t nothing that I won’t do
All I know deep down inside
It’s what I feel and it’s so real with You!
Chorus:
Allah, everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
Yes everyday I’ll try to be as true as I can to You
‘Cause loving You the best I can
Will always be my number one and only plan
They say: “You’re out of your mind”
“Don’t you know that love fades away?”
They say: “It only brings you pain!”
But what I feel is so real!
I gave it up and turned to You
‘Cause I know what your love can do
O Allah open up our hearts
And make us feel how it’s so real with You!

Lyrics:
It’s so hard to explain
What I’m feeling
But I guess it’s ok
Cause I’ll keep believing
There’s something deep inside
Something that’s calling
It’s calling you and I
It’s taking us up high
Healing, a simple act of kindness bring such meaning
A smile can change a life let’s start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Heal and you will be healed
Break every border
Give and you will receive
It’s nature’s order
There is a hidden force
Pulling us closer
It’s pulling you and I
It’s pulling us up high to…
Healing, a simple act of kindness brings such meaning
A smile can change a life lets start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Hearts in the hand of another heart and in God’s hand are all hearts
An eye takes care of another eye and from God’s eye nothing hides
Seek only to give and you’ll receive
So, heal and you will be healed

DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,

شربنا على ذكرِ الحبيبِ مدامة ً
In memory of the Beloved
We drank a wine
سَكِرْنا بها، من قبلِ أن يُخلق الكَرمُ
With which we had been drunk
Before the creation of the vine.
لها البدرُ كأسٌ وهيَ شمسٌ يديرها
The full moon was its cup.
While the wine was a sun passed round
هِلالٌ، وكم يبدو إذا مُزِجَتْ نَجمُ
By a crescent, which when mixed,
How many stars appear!

Mawlana
ولولا شذاها ما اهتديتُ لحانها
If not for its fragrance,
I would never have been guided to its tavern.
ولو لا سناها ما تصوَّرها الوهمُ
If not for its radiance,
Imagination could never picture it,
ولم يُبْقِ مِنها الدَّهْرُ غيرَ حُشاشَة ٍ
Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,
كأنَّ خَفاها، في صُدورِ النُّهى كَتْمُ
As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.
وفي سكرة ٍ منها ولو عمرَ ساعة ٍ
If you are drunk with it for but one hour,
تَرى الدَّهْرَ عَبداً طائِعاً، ولَكَ الحُكْمُ
You will see time an obedient slave at your command.
فلا عيشَ في الدُّنيا لمنْ عاشَ صاحياً
For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;
ومنْ لمْ يمتْ سكراً بها فاتهُ الحزمُ
And one who dies not drunk from it,
Resolution has passed him by.

DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Mamma – Lyrics:
Every time I think of you
You always make me smile
Whenever I feel down
You know how to cheer me up
And every time I feel confused
And I don’t know which way to choose
One thing’s for sure
I can always count on you
When I am near or when I’m far
Or when I’m completely lost
In my heart I have no fear
‘Cause you’re my guiding star, oh
Chorus:
Mamma you know that I love you
No matter what I say or do
I can never thank you, oh
Mamma you know that I love you
You are the proof of what love can do
Truly you are God’s miracle, oh
You’re my shelter from the rain
You’re the shoulder I cry on
And whenever I feel pain
One touch from you and the pain is gone
And all I’ve ever dreamed to be
Is to make you proud of me
‘Cause never once
Did you turn your back on me
Your healing words, your tender touch
The warmth of your embrace
The beauty of your soul
Shine through your loving face, oh
CHORUS
Your name was the first word I’ve ever spoken
You held my hand through the first steps I’ve taken, oh
When I wasn’t well you watched me through the night
That is why Paradise is under your feet, oh
CHORUS

YOU ARE THE HOPE FOR OUR GLOBE
DON’T GIVE UP NOR DESPAIR
THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN’T REPAIR
YOU CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD TO A BETTER WORLD
WITH YOUR SOULS, WITH YOUR SOULS
DO NOT HARM ME, I AM YOUR TRUTH
DO NOT KILL ME, FOR I’M YOUR YOUTH
I AM YOUR HOPE, I AM YOUR TRUTH
I’M YOUR FAITH, I’M YOUR YOUTH

بالقول والعمل ، أنتم الأمل
BILQAWLI WALAMAL, ANTUMUL-AMAL
WITH WORDS AND ACTION, YOU ARE THE HOPE
سلمهم يارب , سلمهم يارب
SALIMHUM YA RABB, SALIMHUM YA RABB
GRANT THEM PEACE OH LORD, GRANT THEM PEACE OH LORD
بِالعِلم و القَلم، يُدفَع الألَم
BIL-ILMI WAL-QALAM, YUDFA’U-L’ALAM
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND THE MIGHT OF THE PEN, PAIN WILL BE PUSHED ASIDE
لآ تَنسَني أنآ ضَميرك

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Allahi Allah kiya karo
Dukh na kisee ko diya karo
Joh duniya ka malik hai
Nam usee ka liya karo
Allahi Allah
(Say always in remembrance Allah O Allah
Do not give anyone sorrow or despair
For He is the sovereign king of the whole world
Take only His name
Allah O Allah)
Just like a sunrise
Can’t be denied no
Just like the river
Will find the sea
O Allah, you’re here
And You’re always near
And I know without a doubt
That You always hear my prayer
Chorus
So many bright stars
Like diamonds in the sky, Oh
It makes me wonder
How anyone can be blind
To all the signs so clear
Just open your eyes
And I know without a doubt
You will surely see the light
Theri hi dunya
Theri zameen
Yeh kahekashan hai
Thu hai Karim
Mere….Maula
Sunle dhua
Hum bebas hain
There bina
Roshan kar jahan
(This is your world
This is your earth
This is your sky
You are generous
My Lord, hear my prayer
We are helpless without you
Illuminate the earth)

Allahi Allah Kiya Karo (Vocals Only Version) – Maher Zain ft. Irfan Makki
Beyond the lines of no man’s land
Time stands still.
My voice is weak, but far away, I softly speak
In silent words, on folded knees,
With silent words we call the night,
To bring you sleep & dry your eyes,
To bring you dreams & free your minds,
When every hope has gone, we hold on.
With silent words we’ll ask the dawn,
To chase your fears when nights are long,
A million voices in to one,
When every hope has gone
We echo all night through
With silent words we are with you.
With every tear you cry, we’ll comfort you
Standing by your side, as one with you,
You can find us, deep in the silence
Carried in the soft winds passing through
We’ll be your shadow, today and tomorrow
There to follow everything you do.
