Lyrics :
I know how it feels to lose everything
Everything, oh
I have faced a wall
So high above the ground
I’ve dreamt for hours and hours
About the day, about the day
When I can say that nothing can hold me down
I will fight through all the pain
It’s a journey I will make
You can try
But you will never break this heart of mine again
Chorus:
Sometimes it feels like freedom is far away
But I know, yes I know
I will break all the chains, yeah
Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change
But I know, yes I know
I will break all the chains
You wanna tear me apart but I am strong
I am strong
No matter how hard you try
I’ll never you let you see my tears
I’ve finally found the place where I belong
I belong
I’ll rise beyond and soar above my fears
I will fight through all the pain
It’s a journey I will make
You can try
But you will never break this heart of mine again
CHORUS
It’s not easy I know
Just gotta let it go
I will forgive, I will forgive
With all my heart and soul
God has given me
The courage that I need
So I can live, I can live
With honor and dignity
‘Cause I am free
Yes I am free

قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
“إِنَّ لِي أَسْمَاءً، أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ، وَأَنَا الْمَاحِي الَّذِي يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِيَ الْكُفْرَ، وَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ الَّذِي يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدَمِي، وأنا العاقبُ (والعاقبُ الذي ليس بعده نبيٌّ)”. رواه البخاري ومسلم
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
“I have many names: I am Muhammad; I am Ahmad;
I am Al-Mahi (The Eraser), by whom Allah erases blasphemy;
I am Al-Hashir (The Gatherer), before whom people are gathered (on the Day of Judgement);
I am Al-‘Aqib (the Last Prophet), after whom there are no more Prophets;

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)

lyrics:
Diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum
[Translation: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’]
Love to give!
To give is love,
And love the gift,
The gift of love.
No belief!
Without the love,
Believe in love!
The belief of love.
None of you truly believes until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself.
[A saying of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)]
Love to give!
The gift of love,
Give the other,
All your love.
What a relief!
To give my love,
I am now you,
And you are my love!

Awake ( Instrumental ) [ Bonus – Track ] – Barakah (Deluxe) – Sami Yusuf
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,

Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine

When I’m out there in the darkest place
Worn and tired
I can still see You illuminate
All my skies

There You, there You, there You are
Guiding me through
Whenever I feel down
You can lift me up
Turning my life around

No matter how rough it gets

the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.

Lyrics:
In a time of darkness and greed
It is your light that we need
You came to teach us how to live
Muhmmad, ya Rasoola Allah
You were so caring and kind
Your soul was full of light
You are the best of mankind
Muhammad, khairu khalqi Allah
Chorus:
Sallou ‘ala Rasooli Allah
Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon the Messenger
The Chosen One
From luxury you turned away
And all night you would pray
Truthful in every word you say
Muhammad, ya Rasoola Allah
Your face was brighter than the sun
Your beauty equalled by none
You are Allah’s Chosen One
Muhammad, khayru khalqi Allah
Chorus
I’ll try to follow your way
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you
On that day, and see you smile
When you see me

Shadowless’s Lyrics :
What do you see?
Tell me what do you taste?
Tell me what do you hear
when I whisper your name?
You see through my eyes
and turned me away
In madness you’d spiral
if I did the same
Oh my love I’m waiting
Oh my love I’m calling
Oh my love I’m yearning
I shine but you’re
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me
Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless
Memories you took
like grapes off the vine
In citrus, in sweetness
with you all the time
You tasted my love
and turned me away
Your tears would make oceans
if I did the same
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be
Shadowless, no you don’t see me

“Subhan Allah” Lyrics:
As we awake at dawn to His vast kingdom
We say Subhan Allah
And as the sun will rise and the darkness dies
We say Subhan Allah
Waving at the trees, dancing with the bees,
We say Subhan Allah
With hearts open wide, letting love inside
We say Subhan Allah
All around us everywhere, it’s in front of our eyes
All glory and praises to be, until the end of time !
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, the lord of all glory
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, what He says will always be
Our story starts with clay, It’s in our DNA
We say Subhan Allah
So many genes we share, all the signs are there
We say Subhan Allah
And what’s beneath our skin, a universe within!
We say Subhan Allah
Under His fading sun, we are all just one
We say Subhan Allah
All around us everywhere, it’s in front of our eyes
All glory and praises to be, until the end of time !
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, the lord of all glory
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, what He says will always be
The love and life you gave this universe, we’re all in praise of You
All Glory!
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, Subhanak Ya Rabee
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, the lord of all glory
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, what He says will always be
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, the lord of all glory
Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, what He says will always be
All praise and glory!

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day

Lyrics:
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oases
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought and couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor coz we couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we’d paid our dues
But in fact to ourselves we were just lying
Chorus:
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame for my place
I’m walking with my head lowered for my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the West
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We were told what to buy and we bought
We went to London, Paris, and Costa del Sol
We made sure we were seen in the most exclusive cafes and shops
Yes, we felt so very satisfied
We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honour
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were so busy feeling so satisfied
Chorus
We became individuals without a soul
Despite the heat, our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us satisfied
My dear brother and sister it’s time to change inside
Open your eyes, don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes when there’s no where to run or hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah is watching you: Is He satisfied?
Is Allah is satisfied?
