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 (pbuh)"

The Chosen One

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
