ZAİN BHİKHA-WONDERFUL WORLD
O what a wonderful world this would be
if we all open our eyes to see
He is all that we need right now
and we can all come together somewhere…somehow
His door is open no matter who you are
just take the first step, you’ll see it’s not so far
Down this road that holds all the answers
open you heart to something greater
His holy book speaks pure and true
and always tells us what we must do
His Last Prophet was sent as a guide
an example by which we abide
There is salvation for those who seek
to find the one and only source of peace
An understanding of why we are here
who created us, who we must fear
Chorus
Such different people from different lands
were all descendants of the first man
We can be one nation facing one God
with no hatred, no envy, no war
Created equal are you and I
which of his favours can we ever deny
We may have everything or nothing at all
but our purpose lies with this call
To worship Him, to praise Him all day
onto the straight path, lets not go astray
He is the Greatest and Most Merciful
and everything acts upon his will
Chorus
Like every sunrise that brings forth each day
brings new meaning, new hope, a new way
Such is the blessing bestowed upon us
every hardship and heartache will pass
From the mountains to the deep blue sea
everything in perfect harmony
and as the stars fill the evening sky
without us sensing, life is passing by
So if you want a solution, my friend
seize this moment, this day before it ends
turn to Him, don’t you see it’s so clear
believe in Allah, He’s always near
ZAİN BHİKHA-WHERE WE BELONG
Once, I was drowning in my fears
and the twinkle in my eye disappeared
and I had no way to look on
my horizon seemed to have gone
and my whole life, seemed empty and bleak
each day and night, the answers I seek
Chorus: (1):
But when, the darkness seemed so strong
and I couldn’t go on
to the sky I raised my hands
making right what was so wrong
I found the strength to carry on
up to heaven where I belong
In life, there are lessons to be learned
with steadfastness, paradise Is earned
and if, all hope seems to be gone
just hold on till after the storm
and if you ask, what purpose have I
why am I here, and why do I cry?
Chorus: (2):
And when, the darkness seems so strong
and you just cant go on
pray for your helping hand
you’ll see the sun will rise again
you’ll find the strength to carry on
up to heaven where you belong
Cos life is but a journey for us all
we cry, we laugh, we run sometimes we fall
but through it all, always recall
God never gives, a burden too tall
ZAİN BHİKHA-WEDDİNG SONG
Nikahun mubarakun
zawajun mubarakun
an-nikahu min-sunnati
ma qala ’n-nabi huwa ’s-sahih
nikahun mubarakun
Today you become man and wife
fulfilling the sunna as way of life
Today you’ll find serenity
may your life be filled with sincerity
There is no happier day in your life
than the virtue of being man and wife
There’s joy without any end
Allah’s blessing on this day does descend…descend
Chorus
As you walk together, hand in hand
Allah has given you a companion and friend
To stand, and always be seen
as man and wife, fulfilling their din
From this day on, forever be true
cherish this life that’s destined for you
Live your life with kindness and care
remember, Allah will always be there…be there
Chorus
There is joy, there is happiness
in this union, let there always be bliss
Allah will bless your home with light
your heart with never-ending delight
Two worlds today have now become one
the road ahead is as bright as the sun
O Allah, keep this marriage so strong
in Your hands does their future belong…Belong
ZAİN BHİKHA-LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS
Allah Hu ya Allah Hu ya Allah Hu
Allah Hu ya Allah Hu ya Allah Hu
In the name, of Allah
Lord of all the Worlds
There is no God but Him
the Living, the Eternal
His throne extends
over the heavens, and the earth
He alone do we worship
He alone we ask for help
Show us the straight path
The path of those You love
Protect us from all evil
From the path of those astray
O Provider of all things
To You we turn each day
O Merciful Creator
only to You we pray
ZAİN BHİKHA-I WON'T WEEP FOR YOU
Oh Little One,
I won’t weep for you today
Allah has smiled upon your heart
And taken you away
Amid thunder and confusion
Your tears and cries so thin
There were angels there beside you
Calling you to him
And though you walked upon the earth
For such a little while
In the playground of forever
You’re running with a smile
So Little One,
I won’t weep for you today
Allah has smiled upon your heart
And carried you away
ZAİN BHİKHA-HAVE YOU HEARD
Each day we are reminded
and each day we say
there’s not much that we can do
it seems so far away
So we live our lives in silence
pretending not to hear
the voices of our people
The cry is so so clear
Why do we stand by spectating
while our brothers cry jihad?
We are bound by one conviction:
we believe in Allah
Chorus:
Have you heard of Kosova, of Afghanistan?
Have you heard of Palestine [2nd chorus: Bosnia]
of Chechan?
Have you heard of all these people
persecuted in their land?
Do you know that all these people are dying for Islam?
Have you heard, have you heard
have you heard?
Each day is like another
Nothing seems to change
Today he’ll lose his brother
Tomorrow will be the same
Yet his faith makes him stronger
he’s come so so far
The pain in his heart is eased
by his love for Allah
O I envy you my brother
in adversity you pray
You know that heaven awaits you
at the end of this day
ZAİN BHİKHA-GLORY BE TO ALLAH
Subhana ’Llah, wa ’l-hamdu li ’Llah
Wa la ilaha illa ’Llah
Wa ’Llahu akbar
Wa la hawla wala kuwwata
illa bi ’Llahi ’l-‘aliyyi ’l-‘azim
Glory be to Allah
All praise to Allah
There is no God but Allah
Allah is Great
All power and might belong to Allah
The Most High, the Great
ZAİN BHİKHA-CLOUD OF İSLAM
You know, from the start
A message was sent from above
A message so clear and so true
A message so final for you
The time has come
To let the whole world know
This message of peace and love
Came only from Allah above…
Chorus:
Have faith, step onto the cloud of Islam
And you will discover the light of Iman
Proclaim this message entrusted to you
And the cloud of Islam… will carry you
You know, for all Man
messengers were sent to guide
From Adam to Nuh to Musa
Ibrahim, Isma‘il, ‘Isa
Then came, Muhammad
the last and final messenger
confirming what was said before
perfecting this din of Allah
Chorus
I know that its not always easy to see
the difference from right and wrong, what would it be
but people this message lies here in our hands
Happiness, peace and the answer for Man
Chorus
So now, don’t you see
Inviting to Allah should be
every Muslims responsibility
Everybody, you and me
ZAİN BHİKHA-ALLAH IS ENOUGH FOR ME
When he was thrown in the well
or locked in the dungeon
betrayed by his own flesh and blood
convicted of what he did not
handsome Yusuf said
Allah is enough for me!(*2)
Taken in as a slave
made to work night and day
resisting all temptation
Allah is enough for me!
Until the king had a dream
Many hard years had gone by
patience and repentance
Allah is enough for me!
Till…the fortunate day
there he sees his father
in the land of content
Allah is enough for me!
Handsome Yusuf cried
Allah is enough for me!
Every night brings a new day
Allah alleviates all pain
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Everything has its end
Allah is enough for me!
Allah is enough for me!

ZAİN BHİKHA-MOUNT HİRA
The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at rasulu ’Llah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibra’il
He said O Muhammad, O rasulu ’Llah
And so he walked, into Makkah
In his heart echoed Iqra, Iqra
And from the world, darkness was gone
with salvation, rising with dawn
for here was a blessing, a gift from Allah
and the light of Muhammad, outshone that star
Chorus:
Muhammad is, and always will be
the last and final Prophet of Allah
He was a mercy, unto the universe
peace and blessings be on al-Mustafa
So he began, this perfect man
SendIng hIs word, across the land
leading only, by his sunnah
And the Quran, the word of Allah
He brought the answer to this cruel world
Our beloved Prophet, Muhammad
Chorus:
So from that cave, in Mount Hira
To the holy city of Madinah
in life and death, he showed Islam
Opened our hearts to the wealth of Iman
So o Allah, hear my du‘a
Keep me as part of the Prophets ummah
Chorus:
The same moon, the same star
Gazed right down at rasulu ’Llah
They saw him climb, down from Hira
Now a Prophet, Prophet of Allah
And in the sky, was angel Jibra’il
He said O Muhammad, O rasulu ’Llah
He said O Muhammad, Nabi of Allah
He said O Muhammad, Prophet of Allah
