Mountains of Makkah

But we built with one hand… 
and held the sword with the other

Stone on stone, they mocked our start
They said we’d fail before we’d part
But God had set the work in motion
At his hour, by his promotion

The men were taxed, the poor were crushed
But fear of God made leaders hush
We stood and called out sin by name
And swore we’d never do the same

Build the wall, and don't come down
Set your face, don’t turn around
What He begins, no foe can stall
He gave the plan, we raise the wall

They plotted lies with every breath
But the Word lifted us to defend
Letters came and swords were drawn
Still we pressed on until the dawn

Each gate secured, each door hung tight
Each family watched from day to night
The Word was read, the people stood
And wept to know that God is good

The world may scoff, may rise, may roar
But all their fury hits the floor
The Lord of Hosts decides the tide
He plants, He builds, He does not hide

Build the wall, and don’t come down
The LORD our God has set this crown
What He begins, no foe can stall
He gave the plan, we raise the wall

Inspired by: Nehemiah

[PH RF01A RM01 CF]

Raise the Wall

WRITTEN BY ZAIN BHIKHA and ZAYAAN BHIKHA).
	

Hey little fish in the bottom of the ocean 
Moving along in a really cool motion
Did you ever wonder where you came from
Who is the lord of all creation
The little fish said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Hey little bird so way up high
Light up the sky with your color design
Tell me who made you and I
Me to walk and you to fly
The little bird said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Chorus:
Allahu Akbar
Our Creator
There's no one greater
Than Allah
So why do we stand tall
Too proud to recognize
What's right before our eyes
Signs from our Lord

Hey alligator laying so still
Who's your maker, by who’s will
Do you crawl and do you swim
Who controls everything
The alligator said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

Hey king of the jungle the mighty lion
Top of the food chain, no denying
But who is the one that you rely on
Life or death who is deciding
The Lion said “That's my Lord”
“Allah the Creator of us all”

 

Chorus

Hey my brother hey my sister
See yourself as self sustainer
Don't you see what will come later
We all return to the Creator
Then we'll say “That's our Lord”
“Oh Allah forgive us all”

I travelled the world, north to the south
East to the west and there ain't no doubt 
Whoever I see, whatever I've found
I can hear them sing out loud
Alḥamdullillāh Praise my Lord
Allah the Creator of us all

Chorus

Additional Chorus:
Allah made everything
You and I
Allah made everything
The earth and the blue sky
But do we remember him
Thank him for everything
Surrender to only Him
With all our lives

Hey little fish. Zain Bhikah

Demons (Ft. Siedd)

Khāled Siddīq - Tala al badru alayna - The Moon (Acapella Nasheed)- Vocals Only

Zain Bhikha has inspired fans the world over with his messages of hope and upliftment. As a singer, songwriter and through creative workshops and television, Zain is loved by young and old.

From the time that Zain recorded his first album in 1994, his experience as an artist has grown tremendously, increasing his exposure in his country of birth, South Africa, as well as globally. Zain remains a pioneer in the ‘Nasheed’ genre of music, where, as one of the first English Islamic singers, he opened the door for many other artists. His albums have been launched in many countries including the United Kingdom, North America, Malaysia, France, Turkey, Holland, India, The Middle East, and Australia. He has performed live in cities across most continents and has become a household name when it comes to spiritual music. 

His songs are mainly self-written, driven by emotion and the need to reassure people that turning and submitting to the Almighty is the hope mankind needs for the core of our everyday questions and confusion. Many of his songs represent different times in his life and the lessons he has learnt through personal experience. Zain’s songs provide young and old with an alternative to mainstream music, carrying messages of faith and remembrance of God. His music promotes spiritual contemplation and encourages people to be proud of their beliefs, who they are and to work towards a better world. 

In addition to producing music, Zain has also written and directed theatrical productions aimed at invoking a spiritually uplifting message. Zain has also always been dedicated to the upliftment of young people. Although he has long been involved with projects for adolescents and young adults, in 2008, he designed a special course aimed at young people, wherein he motivates the youth to utilize their own creative talents for the benefit of society. Entitled, “ The Art of Creative Expression” these ground breaking one-day workshops began in South Africa, with over 1000 attendees nationwide in the first month. Workshops have since been successfully conducted in London (2009), in association with Dawud Wharnsby and the Redbridge Council, and Australia. Zain aims to take these workshops to countries throughout the world within the next few years.
