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
