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’m a traveler
Just as they were
Walking the world

Thinking of the past
On an earth so vast
Waiting to return

I am here just to know you
Whoever you are
Laugh with you, learn from you
Open to you my heart

But soon will I
Say goodbye and move on

I’m a traveler
Just as they were

Walking the world
Thinking of the past
On an earth so vast

Waiting to return
While I’m here I will always try to be
The kind of neighbor who prays for you and me
Here for you

A shoulder to
Turn to
I’m a traveler

Just as they were
Walking the world
Thinking of the past
On an earth so vast
Waiting to return
Been a pleasure to know you,
I’ve learned so much
Pray for you, hope to meet you,
My heart you have touched
Remember me
So I might be
With you
I’m a traveler
Just as they were
Walking the world
Thinking of the past
On an earth so vast
Waiting to return
Waiting to return
Return, to my Lord

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

M-U-S-L-I-M – Native Deen
from album ” The Best of Islamic Music, Vol. 2 ”
….

Lyrics:
:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

One billion strong, all year long
Prayers to Allah even in Hong Kong
You can never be wrong if you read the Qur’an
Cause it’s never been changed since day one
Others may brag, say that we lag
But they don’t know all the power we had
The power we had, the power we have
So Muslimeen don’t you ever feel sad
Take many looks, go read their books
You’ll see all the facts that your friends overlooked
So always be proud, you can say it out loud
I am proud to be down with the Muslim crowd!

Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them..
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say : M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

They look at me strangely
Like I emit some type of energy
That draws kaafirs disbelievers towards me
Thinking to themselves what makes him different than me
Is it the hair, the clothes or maybe the food he eats
What could it be, that makes the cats stand at attention
His demeanor’s peaceful but on his face it’s clearly written that
This ain’t the sorta brother caught up in this and that
Running streets, carrying heat, yo he ain’t into that
This brother must live by some type of criteria
To make it to the average cat quite superior
So maybe one of these days I get near enough
Play like Nancy Drew on this mystery and clear it up
So listen up if you think this is strange
Cause these the type of thoughts that used to run through a new Shahada’s brains
And I bear witness to the one with 99 names, InshAllah I will always remain

CHORUS
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say:M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…

Don’t know about you, I know about me
I’m proud to be rolling Islamically
Everywhere I see, even on tv
People talking trash about the way I be
But what they all hate, is if we get great
Cause we’re the only ones with our heads on straight
Don’t ever frown, or your head looking down
If you read the Qur’an you’re the best in the town
Y’all have doubt- say we have no clout
But-within-a-few years see how we’ve come about
Were back on the scene, The number-one deen
I’m proud to be down with the Muslimeen!

CHORUS
M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them…
Say :M-U-S-L-I-M I’m so blessed to be with them
