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
