Lyrics
Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Although I never saw his face So beautiful, bestowed with grace My heart just yearns to be like him Although I never saw his face Although I never saw his face The sunnah of the prophet I will embrace Prayers and blessings I pour unto him Although I never saw his face He loved the children and the old Give his heart to every soul Nurse the sick and serve the poor Fed the hungry at his door Love the creatures tame and wild Comfort to the orphan child Bid man peace, care for the youth Allah's messenger in truth So with devotion I do read His life of which I try to live No deed is mine except it's his Although I never saw his face Muhammad is his blessed name Call for Tawheed when he came He was honest, very kind Greatest teacher to mankind Brought us guidance so complete Taught us how to pray and eat Always practiced what he knew Never strayed from what is true Although I never saw his face Peace and blessings be upon him While in the sunnah you recall A detailed teachings for us all And no more prophets there will be For he's the final one you see His life he was prepared to give At Uhud, Badr, Taif Brought to us holy Quran Very heart of Islam On the plains of Arafat Gave last sermon for Ummah Passed away in Medina And lived only to worship Allah So although I never saw his face So beautiful, bestowed with grace My heart just yearns to be like him Although I never saw his face
