Sami Yusuf - Al-Mu'allim lyrics
[Sami Yusuf - Al-Mu'allim lyrics]
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh we once had a teacher
The teacher of teachers
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures
Oh Allah, we've shamed ourselves
We've strayed from Al-Mu'allim
Surely, we've wronged ourselves
What will we say in front of him?
(ooh, Mu'allim)
He was Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind he was Muhammad
Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all Mankind
Abal Qasim ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
He prayed while others slept
While others ate, he'd fast
While they would laugh, he wept
Until he breathed his last
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper
Ya Mu'allim, peace be upon you
Truly you are our teacher (ooh, Mu'allim)
He was Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind he was Muhammad
Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all Mankind
Ah, ah ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly
His speech was soft and gentle
Like a mother stroking her child
His mercy and compassion
Were most radiant when he smiled
He was Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind he was Muhammad
Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all Mankind
Abal Qasim ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
