الله الله … الله الله … الله الله

Who taught the birds to fly?
Who raised the mountains high?
Who raises us when we die?
No one but Allah

Who sees inside your soul?
Who hears you when you call?
Who helps you when you fall?
No one but Allah

الله الله … الله الله … الله الله

Who fashioned us of clay?
Who showed us the right way?
Who hears us when we pray?
No one but Allah

Who made the rivers flow?
Who told the stars to glow?
Who sends the wind that blow?
No one but Allah

الله الله … الله الله … الله الله

All praise is to Allah
All glory is to Allah
We worship Allah, and no one but Allah

All praise is to Allah
All glory is to Allah
We worship Allah, and no one but Allah

Lyrics:

Can we not see how the planets look like diamonds in the sky?
And everything on earth was created for you and I
And can we not see that man is merely waiting
For the final day to arrive, to arrive

Do we feel a deeper meaning to it all?
And in our creation there are no flaws
And we’re trying to control something we can’t explain
Or we wander around blindly in the dark without an aim
Do we think it’s all a game?

La Ilaha Illa Allah
Muhammadun Rasool Allah
There’s no God but Allah
And Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

And do we think the truth is no longer clear to see?
And the simple things are left behind
Like smiling at your fellow man
Or looking up at the velvet sky
And sometimes it makes me wonder why we’re all still here

Salam – Nazeel Azami
from album ” The Best of Islamic Music, Vol. 2 ”

LYRICS:

The high heavens exalt Your Name,
from which all names take their grace.
Timeless glories mark out Your reign,
from Your lofty dwelling place.

Understanding, bounteous One,
eternal gift of plenty;
omniscient, just and divine,
our Judge in all Your glory.

سبحت باسمك المجيد السماء
وتسامت باسمك الأسماء

يا عظيماً يا حليماً وفرداً
من عطاياك دامت الآلاء

You give breeze to the wheeling birds
Sustained high up in the sky,
as You nurture us here on earth.
In Your warmth we glorify.

You sent messengers to us, Lord,
Revealing Your word and light.
You taught the scale above the sword,
Your justice is all men’s right.

عندها نرتجي من الله عفواً
حين يأتي محمد واللواء
فاجعل المصطفى شفيعاً وكن لي
غافراً ذاك مطلبي والرجاء

We seek the mercy of God.
I beg, Prophet, speak for me!
Led by Mohammed’s great banner,
Your forgiveness is my plea.

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
PEACE BE UPON YOU, PEACE BE UPON YOU, PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

I PRAY FOR A DAY
WHEN THERE’LL BE
JUSTICE AND UNITY
WHEN 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
PEACE BE UPON YOU, PEACE BE UPON YOU, PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

SALAAMU ALAIKUM YA AHL AL-SALAAM
PEACE BE WITH YOU, O PEOPLE OF PEACE

SALAAMU ALAIKUM
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

SALAAMU ALAIKA SAYYID AL-KIRAM
PEACE BE UPON YOU, O MASTER OF THE GENEROUS

SALAAMU ALAIKUM
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

LET ME SHOW MY WAY [X6]

SALAAMU ALAIKUM, ALAIKUM, ALAIKUM [X6]
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL, PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

LET ME SHOW MY WAY, SHOW MY WAY
SHOW MY WAY, SHOW MY WAY

Lyrics:

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
Just one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you my sister
Just one big family
Just one big family
