12. Faith - 2001

The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at Rasulullah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibril
He said o Muhammad, o Rasulullah
And so he walked, into Makkah
In his heart echoed Iqra, Iqra
And from the world, darkness was gone
with salvation, rising with dawn
for here was a blessing, a gift from Allah
and the light of Muhammad, outshone that star

Muhammad is, and always will be
the last and final Prophet of Allah
He was a mercy, unto the universe
peace and blessings be on Al-Mustafa
So he began, this perfect man
SendIng hIs word, across the land
leading only, by his sunnah
And the Quran, the word of Allah
He brought the answer to this cruel world
Our beloved Prophet, Muhammad

So from that cave, in Mount Hira
To the holy city of Madinah
in life and death, he showed Islam
Opened our hearts to the wealth of Iman
So o Allah, hear my dua
Keep me as part of the Prophets ummah

The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at Rasulullah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibril
He said o Muhammad, o Rasulullah
He said o Muhammad, Nabi of Allah
He said o Muhammad, Prophet of Allah

nikaah-un mubaraak-un
zawaaj-un mubaarak-un
an-nikaahu min-sunnattee
ma qaa-lin-nabi hu-was-sahee
nikaah-un-mubaarak-un

Today you become man and wife
fulfilling the sunnah as way of lIfe
Today you'll find serenity
may your life be filled with sincerity

There is no happier day in your life
than the virtue of being man and wife
There's joy without any end
Allah's blessing on this day does descend...descend

As you walk together, hand in hand
Allah has given you a companion and friend
To stand, and always be seen
as man and wife, fulfilling their deen

From this day on, forever be true
cherish this life that's destined for you
Live your life with kindness and care
remember, Allah will always be there...be there

There is joy, there is happiness
in this union, let there always be bliss
Allah will bless your home with light
your heart with never-ending delight
Two worlds today have now become one
the road ahead is as bright as the sun
O Allah, keep this marriage so strong
in Your hands does their future belong...belong

SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah
Wa-la-illah-ha-illAllah, Wa Allahu-akbar,
Wala-howla-wala-kuwata
Illa-billa-hil-aleehil-azeem
Glory be to Allah, All praise to Allah
There is no God but Allah, Allah is Great
All power and might belong to Allah
The Most High, the Great

When he was placed in the well
or locked in the dungeon
betrayed by his own flesh and blood
convicted of what he did not
handsome Yusuf sighed
Allah is enough for me!

Taken in as a slave
made to work night and day
resisting all temptation
Allah is enough for me!
Until the king had a dream
Many hard years had gone by
patience and repentance
Allah is enough for me!

Till...the fortunate day
there he sees his father
in the land of content
Allah is enough for me!
Handsome Yusuf cried
Allah is enough for me!

Every night brings a new day
Allah alleviates all pain
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Allah is enough for me!

O what a wonderful world this would be
if we all open our eyes to see
He is all that we need right now
and we can all come together somewhere...somehow

His door is open no matter who you are
just take the first step, you'll see it's not so far
Down this road that has all the answers
open your heart to something greater

His holy book speaks pure and true
and always tells us what we must do
His Last Prophet was sent as a guide
an example by which we abide

There is salvation for those who seek
to find the one and only source of peace
An understanding of why we are here
who created us, who we must fear

Such different people from different lands
were all descendants of the first man
We can be one nation facing one God
with no hatred, no envy, no war

Created equal are you and I
which of his favours can we ever deny
We may have everything or nothing at all
but our purpose lies with this call

To worship Him, to praise Him all day
onto the straight path, lets not go astray
He is the greatest and most merciful
and everything acts upon his will

Like every sunrise that brings forth each day
brings new meaning, new hope, a new way
Such is the blessing bestowed upon us
every hardship and heartache will pass

From the mountains to the deep blue sea
everything in perfect harmony
and as the stars fill the evening sky
without us sensing, life is passing by

So if you want a solution, my friend
seize this moment, this day before it ends
turn to Him, don't you see its so clear
believe in Allah, He's always near

Oh Little One I won’t weep for you today
Allah has smiled upon your heart and taken you away
Amid thunder and confusion
Your tears and cries so thin
There were angels there beside you
Calling you to him

And though you walked upon the earth
For such a little while
In the playground of forever
You’re running with a smile
So Little One I won’t weep for you today
Allah has smiled upon your heart and carried you away

Each day we are reminded
And each day we say
There's not much that we can do
It seems so far away
So we live our lives in silence
Pretending not to hear
The voices of our people
The cry is so so clear
Why do we stand by spectating
While our brothers cry jihad?
We are bound by one conviction:
We believe in Allah

Have you heard of Kosova, of Afghanistan?
Have you heard of Palestine [2nd chorus: Bosnia]
Of Cheechaan?
Have you heard of all these people
Persecuted in their land?
Do you know that all these people are dying for Islam?
Have you heard, have you heard
Have you heard?
Each day is like another
Nothing seems to change
Today he'll lose his brother
Tomorrow will be the same

Yet his faith makes him stronger
He's come o so far
The pain in his heart is eased
By his love for Allah
O I envy you my brother
In adversity you pray
You know that heaven awaits you
At the end of this day

You know, from the start
A message was sent from above
A message so clear and so true
A message so final for you

The time has come
To let the whole world know
This message of peace and love
Came only from Allah above...

Have faith, step onto the cloud of Islam
And you will discover the light of Iman
Proclaim this message entrusted to you
And the cloud of Islam... will carry you

You know, for all Man
messengers were sent to guide
From Adam to Nuh to Musa
Ibrahim, Ismail, Isa
Then came, Muhammad
the last and final messenger
confirming what was said before
perfecting this deen of Allah

I know that it's not always easy to see
the difference from right and wrong, what would it be
but people this message lies here in our hands
Happiness, peace and the answer for Man

So now, don't you see
Inviting to Allah should be
every Muslims responsibility
Everybody, you and me

nikaah-un mubaraak-un

an-nikaahu min-sunnattee

In the name, of Allah
Lord of all the Worlds
There is no God but Him
the Living, the Eternal
His throne extends
over the heavens, and the earth

He alone do we worship
He alone we ask for help
Show us the straight path
The path of those You love
Protect us from all evil
From the path of those astray

O Provider of all things
To You we turn each day
O Merciful Creator
only to You we pray

Once, I was drowning in my fears
and the twinkle in my eye disappeared
and I had no way to look on
my horizon seemed to have gone
and my whole life, seemed empty and bleak
each day and night, the answers I seek

But when, the darkness seemed so strong
and I couldn't go on
to the sky I raised my hands
making right what was so wrong
I found the strength to carry on
up to heaven where I belong

In life, there are lessons to be learned
with steadfastness, paradise Is earned
and if, all hope seems to be gone
just hold on till after the storm
and if you ask, what purpose have I
why am I here, and why do I cry?

And when, the darkness seems so strong
and you just can't go on
pray for your helping hand
you'll see the sun will rise again
you'll find the strength to carry on
up to heaven where you belong

Cos life is but a journey for us all
we cry, we laugh, we run sometimes we fall
but through it all, always recall
God never gives, a burden too tall
