Lyrics
Amid the confusion, the chaos and the pain A man emerged and Muhammad was his name And walking with nothing but Allah as his aid And the mark of a prophet between his shoulder blades In a cave in mount Hira, the revelation came "Read O Muhammad, read in Allah's name." May the blessings of Allah be on Al-Mustafaa None besides him could have been Al-Mujtabaa [Main Verse] Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, salla Allahu ' alayhi wa sallam [Verse 1] From among all the prophets, Muhammad was the last As his was a mission of the greatest task There was only moral degeneration; People clung to idol adoration For all nations, he was Al-Mukhtaar; So was he praised by Allah, Al-Ghaffaar The bearer of glad tidings, Al-Basheer Leading into light, As-Seeraj-Al-Muneer [Main Verse] Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam [Verse 2] In handling the wicked, he had the best of skill He pacified with tolerance and goodwill The best of morals he aimed to attain All he accomplished through suffering and pain Reviving Iman as Al-Muthakkir He is known in the Qur'an as Al-Muddaththir Only he was given the honour of Miraaj Unique was this glory to Muhammad As-Seeraj [Main Verse] Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam [Verse 3] He was ad daee ill Allah-il 'Azeem Al-Haadi ila seerautim-mustakeem His mission complete, he's held in great esteem Allah praised him as bil-khuluqil 'azeem May the blessings of Allah be on mustafaa None besides him could have been al-mujtabaa So perfect were his morals, so justly did he rule Darkness had vanished and the world was full of noor [Main Verse] Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam [Verse 4] Balagha lula bikamalihi Kashafa dduja bijamalihi Hasunat jami u khisalihi Sallu alayhi wa alihi [Outro] Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam Muhammad, peace be upon his soul The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal Muhammad, Salla Allahu 'Alayhi wa sallam Muhammad, Salla Allahu 'Alayhi wa sallam
