A Tree


I am just a rock
and everyday I sit and watch the sky.
I sleep here in the sun and rain
and do not question why.
I don't want to be a bird
'cause us rocks were never meant to fly.
But you can sit and rest on me
When you pass by.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, I'm a rock
And that is all Allah asks of me.
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be.

I am just a tree
And this is the only life I'll ever know.
I bow my boughs in worship
Whenever I feel the wind blow.
And my purpose in life
Is to grow when Allah says grow
And be a home for the birds and shade
For folks below.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, I'm a tree
And that is all Allah asks of me.
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be.

I am just a person
And my life is full of opportunity.
I can travel through the world
Over land and over sea.
But will I choose the path of Truth
Or a path to misguide me?
Sometimes I wish I had a simple life
Just like a rock or a tree.

But alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, I'm a person,
and Allah has given me a choice that's free.
So, alhamdulillah, I choose to be a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be.

Lullaby



In your name, Oh Lord, I lay to sleep

To rise in the morning, by your leave.

If you take my soul from me as I rest

lease forgive me.

and if I wake in the morning again to a new and bright day,

Then I pray you will always guide me

upon the straight way.



La ilaha illAllah, La ilaha illAllah

Subhanallah walhamdulillah

Allahu Akbar.


La ilaha illAllah, La ilaha illAllah

Subhanallah walhamdulillah

Allahu Akbar.

Life What a Blessed Thing


To the world and all it's people
All the wonders Allah brings
Give us strength and understanding
Give us all the song to sing
Let our children pray
Pray it loud and make it clear
It's time to stand up
To one in a world that is now
So near from the bottom to the top
To the leaders of the land
We all have one heart
Every one of us must lend a hand
And then there will be a joy in the world
Let there be
And then there will be no sorrow
Let there be
And then there be peace of mind
For all the world
We got to see that life
O' lIfe What a blessed thing
Allah! Say it loud, make it clear today.
The whole world is changing now
Our believes are thumbling down
There is envy and gree
Our muslims are loosing their Eman
People dying for their Islam
So many children killed in war
If we turn to Allah
All the suffering will be no more
And then there will be a joy in the world
Let there be
And then there will be no sorrow
Let there be
And then there be peace of mind
For all the children
Let them see that life
O' lIfe What a blessed thing
Allah! Say it loud, make it clear today

Rhytm of Surrender


Can you hear the rhythm of Allah creation?
The rhythm of the clapping of the thunder and the rain?
Can you see the rhythm of Allah creation?
The lightening and leaves and the seasons as they change?

Watch the children in the field, spinning round and round.
Watch their lanky, laughing, dizzy, silly falls upon the ground.
They grip on to long grass afraid of spinning with the sun.
Reality deceives them `neath a smiling mask of fun.

Can you hear the rhythm of Allah creation?
The rhythm of the children aging brown hair into gray?
Can you see the rhythm of Allah creation?
Alternation of the moon and stars passing into day?

Watch the grown ups all twirling with the clock throughout the day.
Watch them spinning through the hours while the time hands tick away.
They talk and grip the world, as they would catch a falling knife.
Reality deceives them `neath amusing games of life.

Can you hear the rhythm of Allah creation?
The storm against the sand and the pulsating waves?
Can you see the rhythm of Allah creation?
The rhythm of the children running wind upon the graves?

The rhythm of our world beats in surrender to Allah,
Our blood and our breathing testify.
The rhythm of surrender is a part of who we are,
With each heartbeat and involuntary blink of our eye,
A part of us we can’t deny.

Out of Sight and Out of Mind





































Well here we are
shattered like our home
Well here we are
frightened and alone

And we’ve returned to a land of fear

Holding back the images and tears
But where are those
who understand the pain
To teach us truth
to live in hope again

guns have stopped
But horrors still the same
They gave us food but our thirsty souls remain
Do you hear the call of the Adhan

Is this for me please help me understand.

Well here we are out of sight and out of mind
Well there you are won’t you be so kind

They say a prayer
for the future of Islam
They spilt our blood
because of our Iman

Who will build these houses of Allah
Who’ll help erase the evil that we saw
Come stand with us
a day will surely come
When our Jihaad
brings hope to everyone

Here we are struggling to survive
Yes here we are wounded by the lies

Do you hear the call of the Adhan
Is this for me please help me understand
Well here we are hoping day and night
That you will respond
Although we’re out of sight.
