Magical sparks.. Thoughts.. Ideas.. Insights.. Few of what I'm believing in, to be shared with the void, quietly.

I've Seen
I know that I've already posted this song before, but it's so inspiring and powerful ...
Sami Yusuf
I wish you were here
here next to me
I'm missing you so … so desperately
But lately I feel ... like you feel
And I see ... what you see
How I'm missing you..
here next to me
I'm missing you so … so desperately
But lately I feel ... like you feel
And I see ... what you see
How I'm missing you..
Waqas
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
We used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech
People came from afar just to hear us teach
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Mosques are empty,
Refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen,
We feel secure because our mansions are locked
In my teen years salat really wasn't that tight
Now I gotta pray each one of them twice.
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Brother we prefer light skinned women
While righteously maintain our deen against raicism (and tribalism)…
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Can you
People came from afar just to hear us teach
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Mosques are empty,
Refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen,
We feel secure because our mansions are locked
In my teen years salat really wasn't that tight
Now I gotta pray each one of them twice.
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Brother we prefer light skinned women
While righteously maintain our deen against raicism (and tribalism)…
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Can you
Isam
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Kids in Africa starving cant afford to cry
I’ll pay the bank interest on a car I cant afford to buy
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
We used to smile at each other
With faces full of light
Now we frown on each other,
We bicker, and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying,
kids in the streets haitin
kids on the corner selling pot and in the mosque preaching…
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
The Quran has left our hearts
Stranded hanging on our walls
6,232 verses so strong
9 out of 10 of us cant even read it or write
1924 seems distand like way before Christ
Greatness was known but now can you tell
Kids in Africa starving cant afford to cry
I’ll pay the bank interest on a car I cant afford to buy
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
We used to smile at each other
With faces full of light
Now we frown on each other,
We bicker, and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying,
kids in the streets haitin
kids on the corner selling pot and in the mosque preaching…
What happened to the Ummah once known so well?
Greatness was known but now can you tell
The Quran has left our hearts
Stranded hanging on our walls
6,232 verses so strong
9 out of 10 of us cant even read it or write
1924 seems distand like way before Christ

que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la grandesa conosida no la puedo ber
he bisto como mi figura cahe en tentation
al pesar que la vida ha esido buena con luce e ilusion
he bebido! perdon por mis pecados
tengo la cruce sobre mi cama
e il diablo a mi lado
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la bellesa conosida no la puedo ber
e sentido incompetentia buscando la verdad
todos disen conoserla solo beo la maldad
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la puressa conosida no la puedo ber
la grandesa conosida no la puedo ber
he bisto como mi figura cahe en tentation
al pesar que la vida ha esido buena con luce e ilusion
he bebido! perdon por mis pecados
tengo la cruce sobre mi cama
e il diablo a mi lado
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la bellesa conosida no la puedo ber
e sentido incompetentia buscando la verdad
todos disen conoserla solo beo la maldad
que le paso a la masa como puede ser
la puressa conosida no la puedo ber
>> Translation << { What happened to the Ummah? how can that be? The greatness known once I can’t see it no more I have seen my eyes falling in temptation Although life has given me light and ilussions I have drinked ! forgiveness for my sins I have the cross on the wall over my bed And the devil at my side What happened to the Ummah how can that be? The beauty I known I can’t see it no more I have felt the incompetence in my way to truth Everybody pretends to know it, but all I see is evil What happened to the Ummah how can that be? The purity I known I can’t see it no more }
Isam If I was to fall on my knees
And ask you to forgive ...
Everything and anyone out of love
For the one … oh oh oh
I’ve seen ...
And if you were to fall on your knees
And ask me the same
But I don't even think about it …
lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance.
And ask you to forgive ...
Everything and anyone out of love
For the one … oh oh oh
I’ve seen ...
And if you were to fall on your knees
And ask me the same
But I don't even think about it …
lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance.

دع الأيام تفعل ما تشاءُ
دعِ الأَيام تفعل ما تشاء
وطب نفسا إذا حكم القضاء
ولا تجزع لحادثة الليالي
فما لحوادث الدنيا بقاء
وكن رجلا على الأَهوال جلداً
وشيمتك السماحة والوفاء
وإن كثرت عيوبك في البرايا
وسَركَ أَن يكون لها غطاء
تستر بالسخاء فكل عيب
يُغطِّيهِ ـ كما قِيلَ ـ السخاء
ولا تُر للأَعَادِي قط ذلا
فإِن شماتة الأعدا بَلاَءُ
ولا تَرْجُ السماحة من بخيل
فما في النارِ للظمآنِ مَاء
ورِزْقُكَ ليس يُنقِصُهُ التأَني
وليس يزِيد في الرِّزقِ العَنَاء
ولا حزن يدوم ولا سرور
ولا بؤس عليك ولا رخاء
إذا ما كنت ذا قلبٍ قنوع
فأَنت ومَالِكُ الدنيا سواء
ومن نزلت بساحته المنايا
فلا أَرضٌ تقيه ولا سماء
وأَرض اللَّهِ واسعة ولكن
إذا نزل القضا ضاق الفضاء
دعِ الأَيام تغدر كل حينٍ
فما يغني عن الموت الدواء
من شعر الإمام الشافعي

O Allah we cry to You
And we implore
You not to turn us away
From Your door
For we are drowning
Rescue us to the shore
Send Your blessings on us
Like a downpour

You not to turn us away
From Your door
For we are drowning
Rescue us to the shore
Send Your blessings on us
Like a downpour
