Lyrics
After doing many albums and songs independently for so many years, I had this great opportunity to, you know, by someone truly amazing, who taught me so much and became a great mentor and invited me to perform a beautiful song that allowed my voice to travel the world. So for Yusuf Islam, thank you so much for this amazing song. A is for Allah, nothing but Allah. But it's the beginning of Bismillah. T is for Taqwa, be wearing of Allah. And T is for Tawwab, a reward. J is for Jannah, the garden of paradise. H is for Hajj, the blessed pilgrimage. K is for Khatm, the seal of the Prophethood, given to the Prophet Muhammad. T is for Deen, Al-Islam, religion with Allah since time began. Thus for Dhikr, remembering Allah. And Rise for the month of Ramadan. O Ramadan. Z is for Zakah, to cure our greed. When we give our money to those in need. S is for Salamun Alaikum. Peace be with you, Alaikum Salam. Sha is for Shams, the shining sun, which Allah placed for everyone. And Suwais for Swala, for when we pray, facing Him. Every day facing Him, till we meet our Lord. Allah, there's only one God, and Muhammad is his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. B is for Dhuha, the morning light. The sun has turned from red to white. B is for Tariq, a path to walk upon. And Dhuha is for Dhul, a shadow. And A is for Ilan, a thing to know. To make our knowledge grow in Islam. Gha is for Ghaib, a world unseen. And that we know is not a dream. And F is for the opening, Al-Fatiha. And Qa is for the Quran, the book of God. And Qa is for Kalima, a word we're taught. To teach us what is good and what is not. And La is for the beginning of La ilaha illallah. Ma is for the messenger, Muhammadur Rasulullah. La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah. Allah, there's only one God, and Muhammad is his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Na is for Naum, the sleep God gave. To give us rest after the day. And Ha is for the hijra, the journey that the Prophet made. And Wa for Uduh, before we pray. To help us wash our sins away. And Ya is for Yaumun, dear. Allah, there's only one God, and Muhammad is his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Allah, there's only one God, and Jesus was his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Allah, there's only one God, and Moses was his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Allah, there's only one God, and Abraham was his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Allah, there's only one God, and Noah was his messenger. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Allah, there's only one God, and he created Adam. And we are the children of Adam. Allah, La ilaha illallah. Thank you.
