Di sebalik The Chosen One

This song and the video are inspired by Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Maher Zain and Awakening Records felt they had to respond to the recent attacks on Prophet Muhammad through cartoons and Facebook. The result is this music video. It's a small attempt at portraying the true character of our beloved Prophet Muhammad .

In a time of darkness and greed
It is your light that we need
You came to teach us how to live
Muhmmad, ya Rasoola Allah


You were so caring and kind
Your soul was full of light
You are the best of mankind
Muhammad, khairu khalqi Allah


Chorus:
Sallou 'ala Rasooli Allah
Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon the Messenger
The Chosen One


From luxury you turned away
And all night you would pray
Truthful in every word you say
Muhammad, ya Rasoola Allah


Your face was brighter than the sun
Your beauty equalled by none
You are Allah's Chosen One
Muhammad, khayru khalqi Allah


Chorus
I'll try to follow your way
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you
On that day, and see you smile
When you see me


Chorus
