We Belong To Allah

The earth on which we walk

The sky above so high is Allah's work

To Him we belong, to Him we'll return

Ya Allah, to You I pray

What did you bring me in this world for?

To live for Islam and You, Allah

Obey our Prophet, Rasulu 'Llah salla 'Llahu 'alayhi wa sallam

The air that we breath

Everything we see

Is created by Allah

So why do we live?

And why do we die?

It's all for Allah, don't you see?

Shaytan will try to make us stray from Islam

But we are strong, we have iman

Together we'll stand as Musalman

O Allah, keep us on the straight path

All over the world

They see that we are strong

In our beliefs

They'll try to bring us down

And make us lose iman

For Allah's sake, I will fight for our Islam

As in the times of the Sahaba

They fought for the Prophet and his Ummah

They fought for the pleasure of You, Allah

Brothers and sisters so must we

The earth on which we walk

The sky above so high is Allah's work

To Him we belong, to Him we'll return

Ya Allah, to You I pray

What did you bring me in this world for?

To live for Islam and You, Allah

A Child's Prayer

I sometimes lie awake at night

And wonder at the stars so bright

I dream about my future too

And the things that I will do

Soon the world will count on me

I'm the future, they agree

People depend on me somehow

Though small and timid, I am now

So you and I my dearest friend

Must stand together till the end

For we are one by Allah's grace

No matter what our creed or race

We must prepare ourselves today

While we journey on life's way

So education we must crave

From the cradle to the grave

So those entrusted with our care

Train us please and do your share

We'll make you proud of us somehow

So waste no time and teach us now

We need your love and tender care

Your sincere and ardent prayer

So much there is to learn and see

For true believers we must be

O Allah we love you so

Give us health and make us grow

Be with us each passing day

While we journey on life's way
