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 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

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

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
