Colours of Islam


Allah made us all a different shade and color.
Nations and tribes recognize one another!
'cause every single person is your sister or brother.
So many different colors of Islam.
Fill the world with color, paint it everywhere you go.
Paint everything you see, and tell everyone you know.
Qur'an will be your paint. and your brush will be iman,
So fill the world with color, every color of Islam.

Truth as clear and blue as the sky we walk under.
Love as bright and loud as the lightening and thunder.
Peace as pure and white as the moon, so full of wonder.
So many different colours of Islam!

Smiles, warm and shining, like the sun upon our faces.
Hope as rich and green as the trees of an oasis.
The colours of our faith bloom in so many places.
So many different colours of Islam

So Blind


O'Mother,..what's the shape of the sky , the light
and what is moon like?
You keep talking about its beauty ,
and I don't see a trace of it
Is life always as dark as it seems?
O'Mother,.. give me your hand
Heal my Pain, loneliness and fear

Will you hate me?


Smile in the two- way mirror of my eyes
I put on my faith like I wear a disguise
You can't see my soul
See the life that I live
Show you the mask of the best I can give
I've hid here afraid like a child behind.
Truth of my thoughts that clutter my mind.
What if you knew about all that I do?
Things that I think,
The me that is true.

Would you call me a hypocrite?
Call me a liar?
Would you curse out my name?
Would you damn me to fire?
Would you know what to say?
Or would you just walk away?
Afraid the me I've tried to hide
Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

I've been looking for answers since becoming an adult
Not looking for dogma to live like a cult
I've been looking to live,
I've been living to find
Freedom from cages that limit my mind.

Would you call me a hypocrite?
Call me a liar?
Would you curse out my name?
Would you damn me to fire?
Would you know what to say?
Or would you just walk away?
Afraid the me I've tried to hide
Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

Will I scare you, upset you, frustrate you, irate you?
Challenge a lifestyle or weaken your trust
Or will you see my efforts and my passionate sincerity
Would you see just a little of yourself in me
Will you take off your mask so we can both be free.

Would you call me a hypocrite?
Call me a liar?
Would you curse out my name?
Would you damn me to fire?
Would you know what to say?
Or would you just walk away?
Afraid the me I've tried to hide
Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

A Light in my Heart


My soul is brightened by a light in my heart
When I praised God of mankind
And my soul is cheered up and the tears were flowing
Oh God! guide my heart to reason
In the tranquility of the night I pray during worshiping
While the black darkness is all around me
Oh Kind! Oh Most Merciful! Oh Most Forbearing!
Oh Kind! Your gifts are endless
Oh All-Hearing! Oh Answerer! Oh Most Magnificent!
Oh Creator of the strong predatory animals! Guide me
Guide me to truth, God
I depend on your guidance today
Oh God of the universe! You are my aid
You are the refuge of man in the afterworld
Here I am God, asking your forgiveness
Forgive me and grant me my wish

Slowly Slow


Slowly slow my child
The world waits for you
And your window of time
Will come shining through
Slowly slow, don't rush you know
It'll all come easy
There's some things you can't take back
No regrets for what you wanna get
Needs some thinking down the line
Slowly slow my darling
I'm here for you
And every stumble, every fall
Breaks my heart in two
I only want the best for you
And every step makes up the mile
Even though it takes a while
And God will always smile on you my child

So have faith, have faith
Just like the bird who feels the sun
And sings before the dawn has come
Have faith, have faith


Slowly slow my boy
I see you're strong
And everybody wants to find
A place where they belong
But don't you find yourself someday
In a cold and dark and lonely place
And you wonder how you got there
I know it gets clouded in your mind
And you wanna move faster
It seems that you're running out of time
But I love you
Together we'll get through
Don't you know
Slowly slow

Slowly slow my son
You wanna be a man
And I guess those days are gone
When I used hold your hand
Cause this is the age of winks and smiles
And butterflies deep inside
But you'll always be the coolness of my eyes

Chorus

Slowly slow my child
The world waits for you
And your window of time
Will come shining through
Slowly slow, don't rush you know
It'll all come easy

Full of Humility


Put all our pride away,
always find a gentle word to say
you know we shouldn't fool ourselves,
Allah has given so much to you and me.
Put all our pride away,
Always thank Allah when we prey,
You know we shouldn't be full of ourselves
when we, should be full of humility.

We're all livin' here together on this planet floatin' round the sun
We're all equal to one another, no one's better than anyone
The only ting we have to weigh us all apart
is the faith only Allah can see, deep inside our hearts.

Put all our pride away,
always find a gentle word to say
you know we shouldn't fool ourselves,
Allah has given so much to you and me.
Put all our pride away,
Always thank Allah when we prey,
You know we shouldn't be full of ourselves
when we, should be full of humility.

Trying hard to simply be humble and never act too proud
It's easy to trip and stumble with your nose up above the clouds
Its always best to be modest and keep our feet on the ground
Cause pride will eat us up inside if we're arrogant and loud.

Put all our pride away,
always find a gentle word to say
you know we shouldn't fool ourselves,
Allah has given so much to you and me.
Put all our pride away,
Always thank Allah when we prey,
You know we shouldn't be full of ourselves
when we, should be full of humility.

Driving Past


Driving past, walking fast,
To the field of dreams, hear the children screams
Every corner represents, a different image in my mind
A momentary emotion, spacebanked in time
In time

Memories fade like a dusty window pain
And you can't see you past no more
The only thing that remains is that feeling of warmth
In your heart that will always be there. be there

An immortal smile, stays only for a while
But down the line, it strengthens us inside
We all live the illusion, of many days to come
Not realizing that tomorrow lies with Allah, the only One
The Only One

Time goes by on the wings of a butterfly
And what goes with it is all that you have
So take the best of every moment, take the best of every man
Then move on and don't ever look back don't look back
