Mawla ya Salli wa Sallim

In the spirit of Ramadan and upcoming Eid inshallah – I would like to share with you one of my most favorite Islamic Naats (aka song). I don’t speak arabic, but I have a feeling that this song is very popular, because the tune and words are just so beautiful. Other Islamic songs include lyrics (the chorus) from this famous Islamic Naat. The video is nice because it includes the english translation. I’ve also included it below – both in transliteration and translation. Please listen to the video, I’m sure you’ve probably heard it sometime in your life. And if you haven’t I believe you will fall in love with the beauty of the speakers voice, the meaning and the tune. Mashahlah!

“Mawla Ya Salli” by Imam Saalih Sharafuddeen

English Translation (Courtesy of the Video)

“O my Lord send peace and blessings upon your beloved (PBUH), the Best of All Creations” [Chorus x2]

“Muhammad (PBUH) is the Prince of this World and the Hereafter”

“And of men and Jinn, Arabs and Non-Arabs”

[Chorus x2]

Nothing deterred you, No defeat no loss!

Until this community of Islam was set among the stars!

[Chorus x2]

“Oh beloved of God, Messenger of God, Imam of the Prophets”

“You journeyed from one sanctuary by night to another sanctuary”

“As the full Moon travels through intense darkness”

“You journeyed from one sanctuary by night to another sanctuary”

“As the full Moon travels through intense darkness”

“And you kept ascending until you reached a position, at a distance of two cubits”

“As had never been attained, nor has been sought”

[Chorus x6]

ALLAHU AKBAR (GOD IS THE GREATEST)

Asma Allah: Sami Yusuf

I have to share this with everyone! Earlier today I heard one of the most beautiful Islamic Songs that I’ve ever heard in my life. Its ”Asma Allah” by Sami Yusuf. I’ve heard several of his songs, but today I was completely taken by surprise because I had never heard of this one. The video, mashallah is amazing. He sings about Allah’s Names, sends peace to our Prophet (saws) his Family, and his Companions. And the video is amazing because it truly shows the diversity of the Ummah (Muslim Community). Enjoy!

I found this singer recently while browsing Islamic Songs on YouTube. He has an amazing voice. (Does someone have the English Translation to this song?)

Light of Dawn: Talib al Habib

The blessed month of Ramadan is around the corner. I can’t wait!

Here is a wonderful Islamic Song that I want to share with everyone.

I wake with the light of the dawn whispering
With joy in my heart and with praise on my lips
In stillness and twilight I stand before you
Bowing, prostrating I call Allahu

My eyes see your beauty in the dawn’s golden hues
My ears hear the thunder as it glorifies you
The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name
My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise

My soul knew and loved you before I was born
And without your mercy is lost and forlorn
Wherever I may wander down the pathways of life
My cry to you, oh my Lord, is ‘guide me to light’

Through all fear and helplessness, to you do I turn
For your breath of healing and peace do I yearn
For all that I have, my Lord, all that I am
Is from You, is for You and to You will return

Articles of Faith: Talib Al Habib

A beautiful Islamic Song in Arabic and English.

lyrics:

amantu billahi wa mala’ikatihi
wa kutubihi wa rusulihi wa al-yaum al-akhiri
wa al-qadri khayrihi wa sharrihi min Allah
wa al-ba’si ba`d al-maut, la ilaha illa Allah

Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers
The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures
And to believe in destiny
That good and bad both come from Him
And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah.

La ilaha illa Allah (x3), Muhammad Rasulullah

Allah is the creator of heaven and of earth
Nothing may compare with Him, He is the One alone
The prophets, best of humankind
Sent to all nations and all tribes
Last of all Muhammad, mercy to the worlds.

Formed of light and beauty, the angels of the Lord
To praise Allah, to help mankind,
Jibril brings the word.
The scriptures, all by Allah sent,
Torah, Psalms and Gospel then
The source of perfect guidance, the Glorious Quran.

The reckoning, the Final Day, when all will see their works
Remade in soul and body to stand before the Lord
With patience bearing every grief
With thankfulness for all blessings
We are content with destiny, the Will of Allah.

Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers
The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures
And to believe in destiny
That good and bad both come from Him
And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah.
