Salaam. I was simply surfing online when I suddenly thought of going to youtube.com. What a great site it is! Heh. Sure, you have to be careful for what you search for. And thankfully, I found great video clips. ^_^

I searched for "Raihan" and found their video clips,"Yusuf Islam" and "Sami Yusuf"!! He sure is what I would call wasim. Well, Allah had granted him such beautiful features. Subhanallah. But what matters most is the the lyrics of his songs. Yep, I was mesmerized by those meaningful words..

Al-Mu'allim

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu'allim...

Chorus
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad (My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad (My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad (The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina (O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina (O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)

He prayed while others slept
While others ate he’d fast,
While they would laugh he wept
Until he breathed his last,
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper,
Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Mu'allim..

Chorus
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad (My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad (My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad (O My Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad (O bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad (O warner O Muhammad)
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad (The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad (Light of my eye O Muhammad)

He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly,

His speech was soft and gentle,
Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled

Chorus

Very touching and well-expressed, eh? Remorseful and enlightening. Masya Allah.
How I wish I could be as kind as our Qudwah Hasanah.

Hayya 'alal Falah!

Let us move towards Perfection! wallahu a'lam..
