Together We Pray

istaidu linnafir

Lifeline students have learned the Arabic letters of the alphabet with this creative Nasheed. It not only gives the children an interesting way to learn the letters but also makes them think about concepts in deen.

Why Wont You Pray - Featuring Muslim Belal

This qasida was originally composed in Turkish by the great Yunus Emre. Dr. TJ Winter translated it and polished it for English. Other English qasidas, translated and natively written, can be found through britishmuslimsong.co.uk.  I have no affiliation with them, but have benefited tremendously from their work. I highly recommend you investigate.

This is a recording of a live performance by Zerzar Bukhari and Yaseen Andrewsen at the University of Toronto in March of 2014. 

You are more than welcome to use this song to listen to for pleasure or to share it or use it in media, so long as it is noncommercial and attributed. Please note that the translation of the original Turkish was done by Sh. Abdal Hakim Murad (Dr. TJ Winter).

Mawla Ya Qadna Namat'uyon (Arabic Nasheed)

Somewhere in a place close by, there’s a mother with child with tears in her eyes
Somewhere else there a boy on street with no food there to eat and he trying to survive
Another place there's father of five but he can’t get food cause the bombs in the sky
Somewhere there’s senior now who is all out of food and  her car won’t drive

But we take this food were blessed with, and we throw it half away
We see there’s so much wasted, that could help so much today
Cause I know we take for granted, a warm meal, clean cup to drink
This silver plate we’re handed, maybe once we should stop and think

We don’t know where the hungry ones have to go.
We don’t see what hungry ones have to eat
We don’t feel what the hungry ones feel at night
And we don’t hear, when they pray everything’s gonna be alright

Be alright, Be alright,
I’m gonna try to help things be alright.

So that mother she’ll beg on the street to get something to eat, so her baby wont cry
And the kid he will search through the garbage of food we discarded, just to get by
And the father sprints through explosions just to get a loaf and praying he wont die
And the senior walks to a shop, yo for over 10 block in the middle of the night!

So few have our luxury, to have food any kind of way
So many now would love to be, just able to have one meal a day
But we act so wastefully, God knows how our day will end
and how honored their place will be, he hears when they pray to him.
pray to him, pray to him, he hears when they pray to him.

We don’t know where the hungry ones have to go.
We don’t see what hungry ones have to eat
We don’t feel what the hungry ones feel at night
And we don’t hear, when they pray everything’s gonna be alright

Be alright, Be alright,
I’m gonna try to help things be alright.
