When the seasons change
In the monsoon rains
When a newborn cries
In a mother’s eyes
I think of You

“Medina” Lyrics:-
Medina, Medina
Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)
In my dreams I make my way to Medina
The home and chosen place
Of our beloved Prophet
Where all I feel is peace
And so much joy around
No better place for me, yeah!
Chorus:
Medina, Medina

Oh, oh, Medina Medina
Oh, oh, Medina Medina
I wake with the morning light in Medina
Everywhere I see blue skies
Set above these mountains
Bright colours fill the streets
A smile on every face
A special place for me, yeah!
CHORUS
Tala’al badru ‘alayna, min thaniyyatil wadaa’
Wajabash shukru ‘alayna, ma da’a lillahi daa’
Ayyuhal mab’uthu fina, ji’ta bil amril mutaa’
Ji’ta sharraftal Medina, marhaban ya khayra daa’
(The full Moon rose over us
From the valley of Wadaa’
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Whenever a caller prays to Allah
O you who were raised amongst us
Coming with the word to be obeyed
You have brought to Medina nobleness
Welcome, best caller to God’s way)

Lyrics:
Sometimes I can’t see
Where I’m supposed to go
Sometimes I speed up,
When I should take it slow
But through all my hard times
When I lose my way
You’re concealing my mistakes, yeah!
Pre-Chorus:
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
Chorus:
When I’m out there in the darkest place
Worn and tired
I can still see You illuminate
All my skies
When it feels like I’ve fallen too far from You
There You, there You, there You are
Guiding me through
Whenever I feel down
You can lift me up
Turning my life around
With Your love
No matter how rough it gets
I can wear a smile
‘Cause Your mercy never dries
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
Ain’t nobody, no no nobody
That knows me like You do
Ain’t nobody who makes me feel this way
Got no worries, no no worries
About anything
Cause I know You’re always there, oh

lyrics:
I thought of this before over a million times
Who would’ve ever thought that it would be our time?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
It ain’t a selfish love, when I’m with you
You remind me of Allah, and so I know it’s true
I’ll just say it: you are the one
Chorus:
Won’t you be my BFF (best friend forever) and ever?
Won’t you be my partner after this world?
We’ll see it, when we believe it together
Dreams are meant to be, ’cause you’re the one for me
I never thought that I would ever feel this way
I ask Allah to bless you every single day
I’ll just say it, ’cause you’re the one
And when times are tough, and we’ve got the world to see
Standing right beside you is where I want to be
I just know it: you are the one
CHORUS
I prayed about this just over a million times
Who would ever thought that I could call you mine?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
And when there’s gray in our hair and we’ve not much to do
I want to spend the rest of my days with you…
Oh don’t you know it?
You are the one, you are the one
Oh won’t you be the one?

As we sail, across the sea of life
So much pain, warring divides
It’s a shame; we don’t see how it can be
CHORUS
Oh we need to smile at each other
Reach for your brother
Help one another, all/what we need is love
Oh we need to honour our mothers
Shelter our sisters
Alter existence, God’s help will come from up above
But, First we need the love
All the games people playing now
Fuel the flames, hatred devours
Lets spark a change, that’s within all of us

i am in the birds
i am in the trees
from the brown branches
to the the green leaves
im colorful
spectrum infinite
i touch all
indiscriminate
breed compassion and sentiment
limitless in my power to heal
the hearts of men
but they are so forgetful
that’s why i remind on an instrumental
this life is a trial
can never the let the test effect your smile
reach for your brother go the extra mile
kiss for ya mother hug your sister let your wife know that you miss her
know that you can never give up
when you fall to the floor im the reason you must get up
love
im a blessing from God
So why you dont use me more is so odd
you need love!

Are You Listening – Saif Adam
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
And you wanna give up

Lyrics:
He is an ocean of mercy
He is an ocean of love
He is the symbol of peace
His is the dawn of light
He is like the sun
Who shines on everyone
He is the ray of hope
Who is for everyone
He is the sign of One
His call is of God
His life is the Qur’an
His word is Hadith
He is the best man
Who was ever born
He is Allah’s Love
For now and forever
He is the best of teachers
He is the most wise
He has all the knowledge
Past present and future
He taught us kindness
For one and for all
He taught us mercy
For all humanity
He is sent by God
As the greatest gift
The heavens and the Earth
Were made just for him
The sun and the moon
All take from his light
He is the reason
We are here today
He has the all the keys
For Duniya and for Deen
He is the path of truth
Which leads to Allah
He is the only one
To follow and to love
After all he is Muhammad Mustafa

Ocean of Love – Milad Raza Qadri
‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.

Lyrics:
I dream for a day
When there’ll be
No more misery
When there’s no more hunger
No need for shelter
Isn’t there enough to share
Or is that we just don’t care?
We’re here for a day or two…
Let me show my way…
Salaamu alaik, Salaamu alaik, Salaamu alaikum
I pray for a day
When there’ll be
Justice and unity
Where we put aside our differences
Fighting makes no sense
Just a little faith
To make it a better place
We’re here for a day or two…
Let me show my way…
Salaamu alaik, Salaamu alaik, Salaamu alaikum
Salaamu alaikum Ya ahlas-salaam, Salamu alaikum
Salaamu alaikum Sayyid al-Kiram, Salaamu alaikum

O Allah!
You’re the light that Shines above
You’re the reason I never give up

Palestine – Lyrics:
After all this time
She’s still there waiting for me
And no matter what life throws next
She’s still there, so clear to see ,oh
Some might wonder what love is
Some might say it’s just a fantasy
Maybe once it did exist
But now is a part of history
So long gone
But my love is real
She’s the source of every long night’s dream
And before waking I give her my heart
Chorus:
Palestine you’re all that I need
You’re my life, the air that I breathe
Palestine you’re my heart and its key, oh
For you I’ll give, with you I am free
Forever free
Like a new born baby
I hold her close and keep her warm
For her I can face anything
And stand firm in the wildest storm, oh
And despite all the pain, all the hard times
I only love her more
And don’t you know she’s my heart and my soul?!
Chorus
They keep trying to separate us with their lies
And to cast doubt about our love
Trying to say we could never last
But don’t they know that our love is older than time?!

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!

‘Alayka salla Allah 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!

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.

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

لا إله إلا الله
There’s no God but Allah
Allahu Allah
الله الله

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
الله الله
