“Close To You” Lyrics:
I’m sitting here on this mountain
I’m thinking about Your creation
It’s so beautiful out here
A symphony of nature
Oh oh, it’s taking my breath away
I’m so blessed out here today
Chorus:
Allahu, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah
I see the sun, the stars, the moon
I join them all in praising You
Allahu, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah
I feel alive and I feel so good
I feel so close, so close to You
Looking out at the ocean
That makes us blue to the Universe
Wish I could see the world from space
SubhanAllah The Creator
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah
Oh oh, and it’s taking my breath away
I’m so thankful I can say, just say…
CHORUS
And everywhere I look around me
Your creation’s so wonderful
And the more that think about it
Makes me love You even more
How the river finds the way to the valley
Is just so magical
And the way the night turns into day
It’s a miracle!
Oh, I love it!

Lyrics:
قلبي على بابك سجد
My heart prostrates at Your doorstep,
يدعوك يا الله
calling to You O Allah!
مالي أنا غيرك أحد
I have no one else but You,
أدعوه واترجاه
to invoke and implore
قلبي أنا كلما ابتعد
Whenever my hearts strays away,
ذاق الألم والآه
it tastes pain and suffering
يطلبك يارب المدد
It asks for Your help,
الله يا الله
Allah, O Allah!
ربي أحبك للأبد
I will love You forever, my Lord
لولاك قلبي تاه
If it were not for You, my heart would have been lost
دوماً عليك المعتمد
My reliance is always on You,
في كل ما ألقاه
in everything that I face
دمعي على خدي ورد
My tears flow down my cheeks
يا خالقي رحماك
Have mercy on me, O my Creator!
أنت المعين أنت السند
You’re the one I seek help from and the one I rely on
أنا من أنا لولاك
Who would I be without You?

The Power Lyrics:-
Masisondele, masisondele haha phila nocolo yelele
(Let us draw nearer to perfect peace in life)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
You can say it once
Or a hundred times or more
You’ll feel at peace inside
And it’ll open every door
Chorus:
That’s the power of remembering Allah
It’s the best way to purify your heart
And know you will be loved by the Merciful One
‘Cause that’s the power of remembering Allah
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
So much you can gain
Just by saying those few words
You can renew your faith
And be showered in rewards
CHORUS
La ilaha illa Allah (x3)
(There is no god but Allah)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah wa’Allahu Akbar
(Glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
Masisondele kuy’uAllah
(We obey You Allah)
Ngokukhulu ukuzithoba
(With submission, we humble ourselves before You)
Sizothol’ ukuphila Noxolo
(So we may find peace and happiness)
CHORUS
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)

Muhammad (Pbuh) Waheshna- Lyrics: كلمات أغنية محمد (ص) واحشنا:
شفت ياما ناس مناها تعيش
العمر جنبك وبرضه مايكفيش
أحلى دنيا عندى ما تساويش
إلا معاك يارسول الله
واحشنا يا رسول الله
يا سيدنا شوقنا زاد والله
ومهما طوّل الغياب
محمد، مشتاق إليك والله
محمد، قلبى عليك صلّى
طال سؤالي، قل لي إزاى كده
عاشقه عيونا حد مش شايفاه
لو حقيقى هو غالى عليك
إرضيه فى الجنه تبقى معاه
ده أنا زاد فى قلبى حنين
ودموعى ماليه العين
طمعان بقالي سنين
إني أزور المصطفى مرة

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)

Lyrics:
I hear the flowers kind of crying loud
The breeze is sounding sad, oh no
Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside
Lost our way long time ago
Did we really turn that blind?
We don’t see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus:
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we’ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We could save the good spirit in me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for the beautiful world
The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile
On the new bloody play grounds, oh no
How could we ignore heart breaking crying sounds
And we’re still going on like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain we cause
Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus
No matter how far I might be
I’m always going to be your neighbour
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always going to be your neighbour
We cannot hide, we can’t deny
That we’re always going to be neighbours
Your neighbour, my neighbour, we’re neighbours

سبحانك ربي سبحانك

As I traveled through the earth
I can’t help but notice
The symphony I hear all around
From the smallest grain of sand
To the faraway planets
To a flower put in roots in the ground
Every bird in the sky
Every rock and every raindrop
Says as it falls from the clouds
Every ant, every plant
Every breeze and all the seas
They all sing
سبحانك ربي سبحانك

As I traveled through the earth
I can’t help but notice
The symphony I hear all around
From the smallest grain of sand
To the faraway planets
To a flower put in roots in the ground
Every bird in the sky
Every rock and every raindrop
Says as it falls from the clouds
Every ant, every plant
Every breeze and all the seas
They all sing
سبحانك ربي سبحانك
(Glory be to You my Lord, glory be to You)

I’m So Sorry – Lyrics:
If my time would end today would I be ready to go?
And leave all the things I’ve worked so hard for
And all my friends and everyone I’ve known?
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality
Chorus:
I’m so sorry, if only I had just one last chance
I’m so sorry, but now it’s too late to change the past, oh
I lived my life in the fast lane, I only lived for today
And never, never really thought about anyone else
It was all about me, myself and I
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality, oh
Chorus
And now, now that it’s over
I wonder if anyone will remember me
If I had the chance to turn back the hands of time
There’re so many things that I would change
I’d live my life every single breath for You
Chorus
I’m so sorry, so sorry
Please forgive me

“I’m Alive” Lyrics:
You’re the reason my life’s worth living
You’re the reason I’m alive
I’d be lost without You
You’re the reason that I strive
You’re my destiny
You’re my reverie
You’re the reason that I breathe
You are all that I believe
Chorus:
Ilahi, ilahi, ilahi, Maula
(My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Master)
Ho malang mein
(Like a wandering mystic)
Zindagi ki raah chal chala
(I have set forth on this journey called life)
Hai Khuda ek tera mera
(One Creator for you and me)
Hai ek falsafa
(This is my philosophy [in life])
Pre-Chorus:
Khana’badosh hon
(I’m a nomad traveller)
Mein madhosh hon
(I’m lost in a trance)
Tere ishq mein
(In Your supreme love)
Mein sharaboor hon
(I am deeply submerged)
CHORUS
For so long I’ve been denying
But now I feel like I’m flying
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Now nothing seems impossible
With You I feel unstoppable
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.

Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

There’s faith in my world
It comes back to your teachings and all your words
From your life I have learnt
To be patient and caring at every turn
The reason I’m strong
You’re where I belong
In a world spinning out of control
The reason for my pride
You are my guide
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
Chorus:
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
(May Allah’s salutations be upon you O Muhammad)
Peace & blessings on you every day
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
You inspire me in every way
I promise that wherever I go
Whenever I pray
I’ll be sending you praise
With the words that I say
Rasulallah (Messenger of Allah), O Muhammad
Peace & blessings on you every day
There’s light in my heart
Helps me find my way back when I’ve gone too far
When all my anger makes me blind
I remember you’re a mercy for all mankind
The reason I forgive as long as I live
In a world spinning out of control
The reason I love, I’ll never give up
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
I know the only thing I want from this life
And it’s to follow all your footsteps to Paradise
So that’s the way I’m going to spend all my time
Yes I swear, by Allah I swear!

Lyrics:
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 cowzy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (2x)?
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 dead, 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 but 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 cozy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (4x)?

Make a Prayer – Sami Yusuf
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

Be like the sun
Shining with light
Be like a rose
Spreading its fragrance
In every path
Be like the earth
Humble and wise
Be like the rain
Pouring all your love
To every soul
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing
Sent by Allah
Inspire people with your manners
Dedicate your life to helping others
If you don’t know them they’re still not strangers
All other humans are your brothers
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing
Sent by Allah
Why do we chase after material possessions?
Do we really think that it will bring us pleasure?
Don’t think contentment comes from having wealth
None of it will delay our moment of death
Peace and happiness are in worshipping Allah
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing
Sent by Allah
Be like the sun
Shining with light
Be like a rose
Spreading its fragrance
In every path
Be like the earth
Humble and wise
Be like the rain
Pouring all your love
To every soul
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing
Sent by Allah
Inspire people with your manners
Dedicate your life to helping others
If you don’t know them they’re still not strangers
All other humans are your brothers
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing
Sent by Allah
Why do we chase after material possessions?
Do we really think that it will bring us pleasure?
Don’t think contentment comes from having wealth
None of it will delay our moment of death
Peace and happiness are in worshipping Allah
Stop speculating and guessing
Trust what your heart is sensing
Every new breath is a blessing

Lyrics:
O Allah the Almighty
Protect me and guide me
To your love and mercy
Ya Allah don’t deprive me
From beholding your beauty
O my Lord accept this plea
حسبي ربي جل الله
ما في قلبي غير الله
Wo tanha kaun hai
Badshah wo kaun hai
Meherban wo kaun hai
Kya unchi shan hai
Uskey sab nishan hai
Sab dilon ki jan hai
Affeder günahı
Alemin padişahı
Yüreklerin felahı
İşit Allah derdimi bu ahlarımı
Rahmeyle bağışla günahlarimi
Hayır eyle hem akşam hem sabahlarımı
يا رب العالمين
صل على طه الأمين
في كل وقت وحين
املأ قلبي باليقين
ثبتني على هذا الدين
و اغفر لي والمسلمين

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!

So Real – Raef ( feat. Maher Zain )
You are a miracle
You are a blessing from above
You brought joy to my soul
And pleasure to my eyes
In my heart I can feel it
An unexplainable feeling
Being a father
The best thing that I could ever ask for
Just thinking of you makes me smile
Holding you, looking in your eyes
I’m so grateful for having you
And everyday I pray
I pray that you’ll find your way
You know I love you, I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl
You’re like a shining star
So beautiful you are
My baby girl
You light up my world
I pray that I’ll get the chance
To be around and watch you grow
And witness your first steps
And the first time when you will call me “dad”
Just thinking of you makes me smile
Holding you, looking in your eyes
I’m so grateful for having you
And everyday I pray
I pray that you’ll find your way
You know I love you, I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl
I could spend hours watching you
You’re so innocent, so wonderful and pure
O God I can not express my gratitude
But I’ll raise her good, ‘cause all I want is to please You
And now I pray You’ll guide her steps forever
You know I love you, I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl
You are a miracle
You are a blessing from above
You brought joy to my soul
And pleasure to my eyes
In my heart I can feel it
An unexplainable feeling
Being a father
The best thing that I could ever ask for
Just thinking of you makes me smile
Holding you, looking in your eyes
I’m so grateful for having you
And everyday I pray
I pray that you’ll find your way
You know I love you, I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl
You’re like a shining star
So beautiful you are
My baby girl
You light up my world
I pray that I’ll get the chance
To be around and watch you grow
And witness your first steps
And the first time when you will call me “dad”
Just thinking of you makes me smile
Holding you, looking in your eyes
I’m so grateful for having you
And everyday I pray
I pray that you’ll find your way
You know I love you, I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl

Lyrics:
Swing across the seven skies
They say a pure heart never lies
The words you learned were never heard
It’s time to think and wonder why
The stars above will always be
A shining guide for us to see
And when I doubt, I’ll have no doubt
But still I wonder why
Digging through our pages past
Wondering how the truth will last
God’s in control is what I found
I think I’ll try this time around!
And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
The heroes of our past unfold
Their glory is unique we’re told
Their stories mark a precious past
But do we question why?
A quest for truth can never be
A light I’ve faked inside of me
I’ll walk in shoes I’ve never felt
Only then I’ll sure know why!
They tell me “Just make up your mind!”
The path I seek just needs a sign
The end is where I want to be
Which way I go is up to me!
And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
And I know that it hurts
When we stop and wonder: “Why?”
Yes I know that it hurts
Maybe time will heal the burns
And maybe you’ve felt the path I seek, and
I know you’ve cared as much as me
Our stories were shared for us to see, and
Perhaps it’s best to part and be!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
