Lyrics

Alhamdulillah. So we're back with lockdown sessions with my good friend Vivek, and we're gonna be doing a song that's really close to my heart, one of my most popular songs. I hope you guys like it. Here we go. One, two, three, four. Oh, mountains of Mecca, what can you say of the day that Abraham passed away? And he was instructed by God to build a house of peace where people 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 with the words of his Lord to all of mankind. This was his call, La ilaha illallah 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 to 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 illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah. There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is his messenger. La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah. There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is his messenger. Jazakallah khair. Thank you guys so much. I hope you enjoyed that song. May our hearts return and inshallah think about the beautiful lands of Mecca and Medina. Jazakallah khair.
