Muslim Belal, Zain Bhikha - Mountains of Makkah lyrics
[Muslim Belal, Zain Bhikha - Mountains of Makkah lyrics]
Oh Mountains of Makkah, what can you say
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 (Zain)
For the purpose of praising Allah (Yo)
To glorify Allah (Legendary)
Mountains of Mecca, a revelation came
And ever since that day
It's like everything changed
See the angel said "iqra"
Although we couldn't read
And that message spread far and wide
It even reached me
See I was just a street boy
And we don't live in no peace
We suffer from ignorance, sadness and grief
On that council estate, so much was at stake
Then I came your way
Labbayk Allahumma labbayk
Mountains of Mecca, I'm standing on Safa
I'm thanking Allah for all those days
And nights I used to suffer
With no understanding
Now look where I'm standing
These white cloths cost me £20
I feel much better than any branding
See we had it so wrong, was lost for so long
Now I pray for my people
So much misguidance where I'm from
We just wanted happiness
But we looked in all the wrong places
We stayed on the surface
Hearts are more attractive than faces
Oh Mountains of Makkah, what can you say
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
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰه
مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰه
There is no god but Allah
Muhammad is His messenger
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 (Zain)
For the purpose of praising Allah (Yo)
To glorify Allah (Legendary)
Mountains of Mecca, a revelation came
And ever since that day
It's like everything changed
See the angel said "iqra"
Although we couldn't read
And that message spread far and wide
It even reached me
See I was just a street boy
And we don't live in no peace
We suffer from ignorance, sadness and grief
On that council estate, so much was at stake
Then I came your way
Labbayk Allahumma labbayk
Mountains of Mecca, I'm standing on Safa
I'm thanking Allah for all those days
And nights I used to suffer
With no understanding
Now look where I'm standing
These white cloths cost me £20

See we had it so wrong, was lost for so long
Now I pray for my people
So much misguidance where I'm from

But we looked in all the wrong places
