Lyrics

Oh mountains of Mecca, what can you say
Of the day that Abraham 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 Mecca, 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 Mecca, how was the dawn
On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born
How did it feel knowing he was to be
The last and most beloved of all
Rasul of Allah
Nabi of Allah
Oh mountains of Mecca, you were there
When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair
And grieved in his heart were the words of his Lord
To all of mankind this was his call
La ilaha ill'Allah
Muhammadur Rasulullah
Oh people praise only Allah
Glorify Allah
Oh mountains of Mecca, 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 Mecca, 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 whom Allah will say
Peace be with you
I am pleased with you
Oh mountains of Mecca, 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 ilaha ill'Allah
Muhammadur Rasulullah
There is no God but Allah
Muhammad is His messenger
La ilaha ill'Allah
Muhammadur Rasulullah
There is no God but Allah
Muhammad is His messenger
