Deen il Islam

Deen il Islam

Deen il Islam

By Zain Bhikha

If you ask me, why do I stand here,
So unafraid of everything around me.
Proudly I would say, I am a Muslim.

If you ask her, why does she dress that way,
All covered up in a world that gives it all away.
Proudly she would say, I am a Muslim.

Chorus:
Deenil Islam deeni
Wala ‘ardab gheiru deeni
Muhammad elli hadeeni
Nourel iman

If you ask me, surely this cannot be,
You give your wealth so free, and you say your life is charity.
It ain’t hard to see, I am a Muslim.

If you ask him, why does it hurt so,
When he sees injustice, even though it’s folks he doesn’t know,
With tears in his eyes he says, I am a Muslim.

Chorus

If you ask her, why doesn’t she cry,
There’s no one by her side, she’s the only one that’s left behind.
Patiently she sighs, I am a Muslim.

If you ask him, why does he still pray,
Five times a day when so many others have strayed.
Smiling he would say, I am a Muslim.

Chorus

If you ask me, why do I love you
No matter where you are, we are the greatest Ummah
With the beating of our hearts, we are Muslim.

La-illah-ha-illalah Muhammad-ur-rasullulah
There is only one God
La-illah-ha-illalah Muhammad-al-Mustapha

Muhammad is the messenger

City of Medina

City of Medina

City of Medina

By Zain Bhikha

Mercy and Blessings from above
descend ceaselessly on Medina
People feel the joy, people feel the love
in the city of Rasullullah

A perfect path he laid for everyone 
He lived and died for us, what have I done
I have forsaken his life; I have abandoned his way
Oh Allah now my time has come

Deep in my heart I feel a change has begun
Deep in my soul I feel the warmth of the sun
Burning bright with Imaan on the road to Ihsaan
All my obstacles I will overcome

Chorus:
Peace be upon Rasul Allah
Peace be upon Habib Allah
Peace be upon Muhammad
Peace be upon Shafi’ Allah

Peace be upon Khaira khilq Allah
Peace be upon Muhammad
Last of the Ambiyaa (Prophets)
Without his sunnah, we’re disgraced

People rushing in order to embrace
The Rahmah that Allah sends down to this place
To the city of Medina
Every language and colour you can see

There is unrivalled hospitality
And dates that’s as sweet as the smile of a child
Oh I feel so unworthy
Oh how my mind races back in time

To the day in Medina he arrived
And all the people came running happily outside
To welcome the Messenger
For his call was to worship the One

Their hearts united with the beating of the drum
And the children were singing praises to him
I wish I could’ve been there with them
Standing before him I realise that I have strayed

Oh Allah, give me the strength to mend my ways
With tears in my eyes, I sincerely pray
Deep in my heart I feel a change has begun

Deep in my soul I feel the warmth of the sun
Burning bright with Imaan on the road to Ihsaan
All my obstacles I will overcome

Can't Take It With You

Chorus
No, You Can’t Take It with You When You Go
Oh No You Can’t Take It with You When You Go

Chatting On Your Compact Nokia

Chorus

Rap
You plan to be richer,you stash to be bigger.
But man get the picture, you can’t take it with ya.
Your cell phones, head phones, flat screens, ring tones, 
Big homes, gemstones, power from big loans, collections of new shoes, 
Connections of Bluetooth, vacations where you cruise the young ones go OOH!
You go shop for robots or gold watch or what not. 
Your CDs of hip hop, your lap tops. Just STOP! & let go.
When you die say bye-bye. What is best is inside.
Fill the scale up with deeds so you best when you part,
Put the wealth in your hand; take it out of your heart.
Give thanks for the wealth that your Lord will bestow.
But no! That you can’t take it with you when you go.

Better Day

Better Day

Better Day

By Zain Bhikha

You told me, I can never be anything
But I’ll show you, there’s nothing that I cannot be
If I put my trust in Him

Chorus

Gonna find my own voice yeah, 
I’m gonna make my own way
He’s the only reason
I’m gonna find a Better Day
In between all the noises
Underneath all the pain
He’s the only reason, I’m gonna find a Better Day
You left me, with no return in sight 
A hollow scream in the middle of the night
So won't you please, let go of me inside
I need to spread my soul and fly

Chorus

I’m gonna try right now, find the strength somehow
It ain't easy for me, oh you broke me down
But I don’t hate you at all, there’s still love in my heart
Oh the reason we fall, is to rise

Chorus

A Child's Prayer

A Child's Prayer

A Child's Prayer

By Zain Bhikha

I sometimes lie awake at night 
And wonder at the stars so bright 
I dream about my future too 
And the things that I will do 

Soon the world will count on me 
I'm the future they agree 
People depend on me somehow 
Though small and timid, I am now 

So you and I my dearest friend 
Must stand together till the end 
For we are one by Allah's grace 
No matter what our colour or race 

We must prepare ourselves today 
While we journey on our life's way 
So much there is to learn and see 
For true believers, we must be 

Rap: 
Yeah, yeah. Come on. 
Yeah, yeah. Come on. 

Go forward young Muslims, wherever you are 
In the shadow of the sun or by the light of a star 

Your Supreme protector is Almighty Allah 
Go forward young Muslims wherever you are 

Go forward young Muslims we feel your pain. 
So many places, Palestine, 

People are dying, mothers are crying 
Bombs are falling from the sky, people asking why.

The only thing that we can do is pray to God, to help them through 
But do they realize that Allah hates those who kill and despise. 

I think that's no surprise. We must rise up. 
Come on young Muslims, gotta rise up. 

Come on young Muslims. 
Together we must stand in the Masjid to pray, 

Pray for a better day, a better way 
To make this world a better place. 

Cause let's face it, it's out of control. 
We need to grab hold of each other, unite as one Ummah. 

Like back in the days of the Companions of the Prophet, 
Some were young, they were strong and they loved each other 

Brothers and sisters and they could die for one another. 
Yeah. Yeah. 
So stand up young Muslims. 

Say it out loud, it's time to be counted. 
Right here, right now. 
Yeah, right here. Come on, right now. 

O Allah we love you so 
Give us health and make us grow 
Be with us each passing day 
While we journey on life's way

Deen of Islam

He is the benevolent, the giving and merciful
he’s so indescribable, his love is irreversible

his word is undeniable, lyrically un try-able, ultimately viable, eternally suppliable
may be inconceivable but beautifully believable

the true reality, there’s no similarity
gave us more than charity, peace and prosperity

we didn’t even care to see if we could keep his clarity, yes, He’s incomparable yet his parables
infinitely listed pictures couldn’t give a good description depictions missing, but he created all the living in every dimension, and he inspired what I’m giving, the giver of wisdom, devoid of any need

Anything that he wants, all he has to say is be
cuz he’s the untouchable the infinitely trustable

his plan is unstoppable, power unstoppable
the reliable, undeniable, greater than the physical
master of the mystical

Allah Made Everything

Allah Made Everything

Allah Made Everything

By Zain Bhikha

Hey little fish in the bottom of the ocean 
Moving along in a really cool motion

Did you ever wonder where you came from
Who is the lord of all creation

The little fish said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Hey little bird so way up high
Light up the sky with your color design

Tell me who made you and I
Me to walk and you to fly

The little bird said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Chorus:
Allahu Akbar
Our Creator
There's no one greater
Than Allah

So why do we stand tall
Too proud to recognize
What's right before our eyes
Signs from our Lord

Hey alligator laying so still
Who's your maker, by who’s will
Do you crawl and do you swim
Who controls everything

The alligator said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”
Hey king of the jungle the mighty lion
Top of the food chain, no denying

But who is the one that you rely on
Life or death who is deciding
The Lion said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Chorus
Hey my brother hey my sister
See yourself as self sustainer
Don't you see what will come later
We all return to the Creator

Then we'll say “That's our Lord”
“Oh Allah forgive us all”
I travelled the world, north to the south
East to the west and there ain't no doubt 

Whoever I see, whatever I've found
I can hear them sing out loud
Alḥamdullillāh Praise my Lord
Allah the Creator of us all

Chorus
Additional Chorus:
Allah made everything
You and I
Allah made everything

The earth and the blue sky
But do we remember him
Thank him for everything
Surrender to only Him
With all our lives
