Lyrics

صلى الله على محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله على محمد صلى الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم He was born in Arabia father already dead mother died when he was young but little did they know their orphan son would grow one day to be the chosen one so he grew under the tutelage of his uncle one day when they were traveling was spotted by a monk the monk recognized that he was prophesied he looked into his eyes he saw in him the signs and this was not astrology see and Deuteronomy so his personality was quick to gain autonomy grown to be known as honest and strong trustworthy everybody loved him like they loved their own family and happily at 25 he married Khadija a woman who would stand by his side and as the days flew by questions arise about how his people was living their lives paganistic ritualistic so this caused him to meditate about his existence in many instances he would retreat to a cave just to contemplate well at age 40 cave was the scene angel appears tells him to read read? what shall I read? never was a literate one so tell me what do you mean? the same sun gaze right down there on sorrow they saw him climb down from here now a prophet and messenger and in the skies was angel Jibreel he said oh Muhammad oh Rasulallah Muhammad is and always will be the last and final prophet of Allah he was a mercy unto the universe peace and blessings be on almost of her he fled the home and told his wife Nasesh was scared to death he thought his mom was touched but Saseh but she relieved his stress and confirmed that indeed he was a prophet and it was then he regained his consciousness realized what had happened no time to rest arise and more call everybody and warn the religion of Islam reborn now the first test was his family and friends live in your ear oh people I have known for years you have trusted me with your life possessions I come to you now with a wholly directive a better direction away from the sin the worship of false idols mistreating your women and no human can ever be judged by the color of their skin instead what he or she does this is the belief that I bring to you cuz I ask nothing for it but the worship and love of the creator, the maker, the merciful, the saviour submit your desires and you will gain his favor what can you guess what their answer was? most of his family simply laughed it off told him he was crazy and they cast him off took him as a joke all they did was scoff but a few would turn to the truth and then another few and soon another few and soon before his family knew it he had a following their lives turned to frowns so they really couldn't swallow this threat to a power structure so corrupt all he wanted was to love his brothers in return there was torture they would make him suffer many died but they couldn't stop a lost cunder some people cried Muhammad peace be upon his soul Muhammad Islam was his only goal Salah wa alayhi wa sallam invited to Medina they saw he was a leader protection they would lend him and he would be their teacher the brotherhood would grow his enemies would fold the Muslims were outnumbered only fearlessness they showed time has come to go back home and his possession had a strength to wipe out his foes see they had tortured him and plotted on his death yet he spared them and chose no bloodshed cause he was so compassionate all he wanted was the people to acknowledge that submission would wipe out sins like giving charity and honoring your mother wins the righteous deeds would be the key to salvation of the soul that we could be happy and he would go down in history as the greatest of all time he sings to me back here in Mount Hira to the holy city of Medina in life and death he showed Islam opened our hearts to the welfare of men so oh Allah hear my dua keep me as part of the Prophet's woman Muhammad is and always will be the last and final Prophet of Allah he was a mercy unto the universe peace and blessings be on most of her
