He stepped inside his home
He was overwhelmed with fear
An angel came with words from God
Things were still unclear
Saying “Read, Read,” but he could not read
Amazing words that he heard
A trembling deep inside his heart
Confused by what had occurred
There was only one who could comfort him
To help him see the light
To ease his fears, to reassure
Was Khadījah, his wife
He said Zamilooni, Zamilooni Cover me, cover me
Dathirūni, Dathirūni Wrap me, wrap me
A mighty task has come before me
I need you here with me, by my side
She was a woman of nobility, successful in all her trade
Many wealthy men had asked for her
She turned them all away
But when she saw Muẖammad, a shining moon
May peace be on his soul
He was a light for her, so right for her
Her life will now be whole
But she had never seen him so distressed
As he was there that day
She would comfort him, and hold him tight
And chase his doubts away
We look for stories of love
In places dark and cold
When we have a guiding light
For the whole world to behold
But we're so selfish in our ways
To the ones we hold so close
Our own pleasure and happiness
Is what we value most
But she sacrificed all her wealth
And everything she had
And he honoured her and gave her faith
when the times were bad, when times were bad
Now years have passed, times had changed
Since Khadījah breathed her last
And the message of the one true God
Was spreading far and vast
But then he came across some jewellery
That Khadījah once had worn
His eyes began to swell with tears
His heart again began to mourn
‘Cause she was there for him
When the times were rough
And his enemies were cruel
She was the first Believer, so keen and eager,
To comfort Ar-Rasūl The Messenger
When he said
Zamilooni, Zamilooni
Dathirūni, Dathirūni
A mighty task has come before me
I need you here with me, by my side
