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

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!

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:
My life is not the same
When I’m too concerned by what they say
Why should I? When I have you
To doubt you would be the worst mistake

Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies

Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You

Trials of life upon me
Are more precious than diamonds and gold
Tested with fire I may be
But I know I’ll come out stronger in this world

Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies

Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You

I only want the things
You know is best for me
I’d gladly sacrifice
If that’s what you decree
I would break and
Mourn in eternity
Perish into the sea
If that’s what you want for me
