Lyrics

So for the last song we want to do today in this lockdown session with my good friend Vivek is a song that's dedicated to the strength of women. We all should appreciate the women in our lives and if we're looking for examples we should look no further than the beautiful love between the Prophet ﷺ and his first wife Khadija. May Allah be pleased with her. And she stood by him when not many people were believing in him so this is Zammilooni. Bismillah.
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 Khadija his wife. He said Zammilooni, Zammilooni, Datheeroni, Datheeroni a mighty task has come before me. I need you here with me by my side, 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 Muhammad the 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. When he said Zammilooni, Zammilooni, Datheeroni, Datheeroni a mighty task has come before me. I need you here with me by my side, by my side, by my side.
Now years had passed, times had changed since Khadija breathed her last. And the message of the one true God was spreading far and vast. But then he came across some jewelry that Khadija had once worn. His eyes began to swell with tears, his heart 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 our Rasul. When he said Zammilooni, Zammilooni, Datheeroni, Datheeroni a mighty task has come before me. I need you here with me by my side, by my side, by my side.
Jazakallah khair. I hope you guys enjoyed this lockdown session with myself and Vivek and may Allah bless you wherever you are and keep you safe and remember stay safe and stay home. Assalamualaikum.
