Lyrics

O you who believe, when we look at the world today, and when I look at the community here as an individual born and raised in this part of the world, and I look at the young Muslim children going to the schools, and I see many of the new Muslims coming into this society, thinking that this society is a heavenly society, thinking they have entered now a higher part of creation, I remember the dua of the Anbiya, of the Mu'mineen, that had come to us in Hadith, that after the Day of Judgment, when the people will be crossing Sirat, crossing the path that leads to Jannah, surrounded by Jahannam, and all the people will have to cross a tiny, tiny path, and if you waver to one side, if you have evil deeds, you will fall into Jahannam. Some will go across like a flash, some will go across like the twinkling of the eye, others will go very, very slow, some will waver and fall, others will fall immediately into the fire, and the dua of the Anbiya, the dua of the Mu'mineen, that they would be, Rabbisallim, Rabbisallim, O my Lord, save us, and when I look at the young people going to the schools, knowing this society that has the sweetness on the outside, but on the inside is now becoming more and more rotten, I can only remember this dua, Rabbisallim, Sallimna Ya Rabb, save us from what we see ourselves now living in.
