Lyrics
Of the day that Abraham passed your way? And he was instructed by God to build A House of peace where people will pray And they will come on every lean Camel and out of every ravine For the purpose of praising Allah To glorify Allah Oh Mountains of Makkah, what can you tell Of the day that stones from the sky fell? Destroying an army determined to break The House of Allah that Abraham built Oh Mountains of Makkah, how was the dawn On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born? How did it feel knowing he was to be The last and most beloved of all? Rasool of Allah, Nabi of Allah Oh Mountains of Makkah, you were there When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair Engraved in his heart were the words of his Lord To all of mankind, this was his call La ilaha illAllah, Muhammad ur-Rasoolullah Oh people praise only Allah, Glorify Allah Oh Mountains of Makkah, how did you mourn On the day that the Beloved returned to his Lord? And up ‘till the last breath escaped from his lips He prayed that his Ummah would find success Oh Mountains of Makkah how will it feel When the earth shall quake and tremble with fear? And we shall be gathered together to stand In the court of Allah with our deeds at hand Oh how we pray that on that day We’ll be with those to whom Allah will say “Peace be with you, I am pleased with you” Oh Mountains of Makkah, Bear witness that I To the Oneness of Allah do I testify For all that He’s given me, how can I deny My purpose in life should be only to cry: La ilaha illAllah, Muhammad ur-Rasoolullah There is no god but Allah, Muhammad’s His Messenger Allahumma Salli ala, Muhammad Rasoolillah Allahumma Salli ala, Muhammad Nabi Allah Allahumma Salli ala, Muhammad Rasoolillah Allahumma Salli ala, Muhammad Rasul of Allah
