Song of the Soul
There is a garden in the soul where God's golden roses bloom and our hearts are opening like fresh roses in a room
In those roses is a jewel placed there by our Prophet ﷺ , dear Muhammad ﷺ , God's blessings on him and all who chance to hear
[ REFRAIN ] la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah Muhammad rasulullah ﷺ
Born in Mecca in a time not so vey unlike others when the idol worshippers tried to gain all earthly powers
Pure as snow, his heart was clear, cast no shadow, he was light, walked among us year by year enlightening our days and nights
[ REFRAIN]
Struggled all his life for God Filled the air with his true sound Taught our hearts and minds to press hands and foreheads on the ground
People stoned him at Ta'if drove him from his place of birth he returned to Mecca to show the whole world Islam's worth
[ REFRAIN]
Last he stood on Arafat' charged us to convey Islam to those present and those not on this planetary home
Called for unity among human beings everywhere leave divisions all aside join together in the prayer
[ REFRAIN ]
God, the One Who sent him here God, Magnificent, the Great, Merciful to everyone' high or low, in every state
God, Creator of our world, breathing brings our bodies near To His Power and His love Touching every person here
[ RFRAIN ]
We are basking in God's Grace rain and falls and sun that beams blessing fills up every place animates our secret dreams
Take the atom we can't see filled with light by God command space inside enough for suns moons and every grain of sand
[ REFRAIN ]
Mountains, rivers, streams and lakes, canyons, gorges, trees and fields, see God's grandeur in each place and shining light in yields
Every eye is full of light every heart is full of grace every person that we meet has a glowing radiant face
[ REFRAIN ] How can anyone deny God and His true Messenger ? How can anyone not praise Th' Origin of each affair
Everywhere we turn we see God's Face as the Qur'an tells in the smallest thing alive in the greatest ocean swells
[ REFRAIN ]
Look into the farthest space our poor telescopes can scan planetary galaxies like floating cells in man
Humans are a cosmos small cosmos is a human great filled with light from tip to toe that's humanity's true state
[ REFRAIN]
May Allah our Generous Lord grant all mankind sweetness now take in our hearts His Grace Make submissions's humble vow
Give us all us Straight Road to Him take us to His heav'nly Throne Give us contemplation there of His Single Face alone
[REFRAIN]
Give us certitude beyond anything that we can dream unity with God's pure light like creation's first sunbeam
In our heartbeats let us sound praise and thanks with every breath There's no god, only Allah take us far beyond our death
[ REFRAIN ]
To a place that's radiant light to a place that can't be said " Die before you die," hadith of the Prophet ﷺ , God's blessed
There is no god, only Allah stars and planetary spheres Muhammad rasulullah ﷺ wings for all our hopes and fears
[ REFRAIN ]
When this song is ended here echoes carry on its sound la alaha illa Allah comes around and goes around
Muhammad rasulullah ﷺ lightens every person's load Muhammad ﷺ guides perfectly down each person's shining road
[ REFRAIN ]
There's no god, only Allah (x3) Muhammad rasulullah ﷺ ] repeat ]
