Oh Mountains of Makkah, what can you say
Of the day that Ibrahim passed your way?
And He was instructed by God to build
A House of peace where people will pray
And they will come on every lean
camel and out of every ravine
For the purpose of praising Allah
To glorify Allah
Oh Mountains of Makkah, what can you tell
Of the day that stones from the sky fell?
Destroying an army determined to break
The House of Allah that Abraham built
Oh Mountains of Makkah, how was the dawn
On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born?
How did it feel knowing he was to bethe last and most beloved of all?
Rasul of Allah, Nabi of Allah
Oh Mountains of Makkah, you were there
When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair
Engraved in his heart were the words of his Lord
To all of mankind this was his call
La illaha illAllah, Muhammadun-Rasul-Allah
Oh people praise only Allah, Glorify Allah
Oh Mountains of Makkah, how did you mourn
On the day that the beloved returned to his Lord?
And up ‘till the last breath escaped from his lips
He prayed that his Ummah would find success
Oh Mountains of Makkah how will it feel
When the earth shall quake and tremble with fear?
And we shall be gathered together to stand
In the court of Allah with our deeds at hand
Oh how we pray that on that day
We’ll be with those to whom Allah will say“Peace be with you, I am pleased with you”
Oh Mountains of Makkah, Bear witness that I
To the oneness of Allah do I testify
For all that He’s given me, how can I deny
My purpose in life should be only to cry:
La illaha illAllah, Muhammadun-Rasul Allah
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad’s His Messenger
Allahumma Salli ala, Muhammad RasullillahAllahumma Salli ala, Muhammad Nabi AllahAllahumma Salli ala, Muhammad
RasullillahAllahumma Salli ala,
Muhammad Rasul of Allah

Maher Zain - Palestine Will Be Free
Every day we tell each other
That this day will be the last
And tomorrow we all can go home free
And all this will finally end
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
No mother no father to wipe away my tears
That’s why I won’t cry
I feel scared but I won’t show my fears
I keep my head high
Deep in my heart I never have any doubt
That Palestine tomorrow will be freePalestine tomorrow will be free
I saw those rockets and bombs shining in the sky
Like drops of rain in the sun’s light
Taking away everyone dear to my heart
Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye
What happened to our human rights?
What happened to the sanctity of life?
And all those other lies?
I know that I’m only a child
But is your conscience still alive
I will caress with my bare hands
Every precious grain of sand
Every stone and every tree‘Cause no matter what they do
They can never hurt you
Coz your soul will always be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
That this day will be the last
And tomorrow we all can go home free
And all this will finally end
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
No mother no father to wipe away my tears
That’s why I won’t cry
I feel scared but I won’t show my fears
I keep my head high
Deep in my heart I never have any doubt
That Palestine tomorrow will be freePalestine tomorrow will be free
I saw those rockets and bombs shining in the sky
Like drops of rain in the sun’s light
Taking away everyone dear to my heart
Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye
What happened to our human rights?
What happened to the sanctity of life?
And all those other lies?
I know that I’m only a child
But is your conscience still alive
I will caress with my bare hands
Every precious grain of sand
Every stone and every tree‘Cause no matter what they do
They can never hurt you
Coz your soul will always be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Zain Bhikha - Our World

Every morning on every news flash
I hear the sorrow of the world
It seems like everybody's lost and Scared
trying to make sense of it all
And as I travel to and fro, so many faces pass me by
I see lonely hearts living lonely lives just biding their time
And while we call ourselves civilized, many people living empty lives
As they drone their way through day and night
I pray for our world,
I pray for every child
I pray for our world to be filled with smiles
Like the colours of a rainbow and not just black and white
I pray for our world to be filled with light
I pray for all of us, to choose the path that's right
To believe in Allah every day of our lives
In the evening on the TV news, I see images of war.
I see brother killing brother with no consequence at all.
And while those who claim to be leaders, sell us tales of deceit.
But Allah alone know in their hearts what they reveal and conceal.
And while we call ourselves civilized,
We go on killing human lives
Too caught up in our own web of lies
Every mother,
every father,
every daughter,
every son
Don't you see, that the answer lies only with the ONE

Sami Yusuf - My Ummah

My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way
Ya Allah ya rabbal ‘alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi
Let the Ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again
Let’s become whole again
Proud again’
Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we strayed from him and his way
Look at where we were
Look at where we were
And look at where we are
And tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no! Let us bring back our glory
Sami Yusuf - My Only Wish (Interlude)
Sami Yusuf - My Only Wish (Interlude)
All your armies,
all your fighters
All your tanks,
and all your soldiers
Against a boy holding a stone
Standing there all alone
In his eyes I see the sun
In his smile I see the moon
And I wonder,
I only wonder
Who is weak, and who is strong?
Who is right, and who is wrong?
And I wish, I only wish
That the truth has a tongue
All your armies,
all your fighters
All your tanks,
and all your soldiers
Against a boy holding a stone
Standing there all alone
In his eyes I see the sun
In his smile I see the moon
And I wonder,
I only wonder
Who is weak, and who is strong?
Who is right, and who is wrong?
And I wish, I only wish
That the truth has a tongue

Mother don’t cry for me I am heading off to war
God almighty is my armour and sword
Palestine, Forever Palestine
Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky
They say to their parents don’t worry,
God is on our side
Palestine, Forever Palestine
Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night
Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right
Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them
Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy
Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny
Palestine, Forever Palestine
Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives
They say to their parents we know that Palestine is our right
They to say to their parents we’ll fight for what is right
They say not to worry God is on our side
They say we’ll die for PalestinePalestine, Forever Palestine

Sami Yusuf - Not In My Name
Another great song with strong message on world domination and war.
Sami Yusuf - Not In My Name
Is it not enough what you've done?
With all the bloodshed you've caused
Yet your greed drives you on
In your brutal race for acquisition
No land is left untouched
Driven by a vile ambition
To have the whole world in your clutch
Every single new addition
To your slave colony
Does nothing to dull your ambition
To leave no nation free
It is indeed a sad condition that you suffer from
This itching desire for a prime position
To have all under your thumb
Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in my name will you terrorise
Not in my name will you lie
I warn it's time to take heed
One day you'll find yourself pursued
By every person you've made bleed
You thought they'd been subdued
You were wrong
You were wrong
They've been freed
They've been freed
Against your evil methods of violence and intimidation
Against your hijacking and misinterpretation
Of my peaceful faith and revelation
I shout with billions in this demonstration
Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in our name
Will you dare to speak again
Not in our name
