Verse 1
Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
This is the heartbeat of Islam
This is what it means to live as a Muslim
This line seals my religion
This line seals my faith
The man that ascended the 7 heavens brought me to this day and brought me to my faith
A character that encapsulates and fortifies this very line
He gave the Sunnah
Not just for you and me
But for the whole of mankind
Hook
Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
Verse 2 These are the 2 most revering qualities of the Lord that calm me
These words Ar Rahman Nir Rahim
Keeps me on the right track, ignites a purpose for me
Reading this line from the Holy Qur’an, peace and bliss fill me
Reciting this line again and again awakes a divine passion
La ikraha fiddin
I chose this path even though there's no compulsion
For the aching and ailing, the lost and the searching, these traits of my Creator are heaven-sent
Allah SWT chosen prophets walked this very land
Possessing empathy, grace, understanding, and kindness, such traits
personified these great men
Showing us the path and the way to reach our final destination
These men were God-sent
And the Sunnah of our Rasulullah SAW refined me as a man and now I'm his greatest fan
Verse 3 Infinite hope of a new life in a promised land where
I finally sujud at the gates of heaven
But for now
I keep peace
I seek forgiveness for my sins
Offenses must make way for repentance
Lord I solemnly pray I will I shall, will keep to the path
that keeps me close to heart and close to my deen
But sometimes, sometimes, complacency sets in
The weak and feeble mind plays tricks on my thoughts and my faith wean
Distracting whispers of the wandering fear slowly creep in
surely creep in
Unwavering faith, my Iman and Salah, my prayers, my du’as must be heard my steadfast belief that my Maker will reach out to me will not be wasted and not be in vain
The Lord reaches out to those who reach out
like a vision I had, I reached out to You, and You embraced me and took away my pain
The mighty Allah SWT gave us the chosen one
He gave us the Sunnah
Not just for you and me but for the whole of mankind
Verse 4 The Almighty speaks to us in this very line resurrecting hope that mercy and forgiveness are my Lord’s foremost character
And I shall not doubt the one who blew life into this once lifeless body Al-Ba'ith my Resurrector
Not once but twice
First at my birth and again on my rebirth as a Muslim
The day I became a Muslim I felt resurrected
For that, I shall always bow my head down with gratitude and humility
And say O Thank You Al-Muhaimin Al-Qayyum
Al-Hafeedh
My Saviour, my Sustainer, my Protector
For the Lord says
You came from Me and to Me you shall return
Does a father not forgive his child
Does a mother not comfort her son
Remember me and you shall not be forsaken when the time come
If Allah SWT is so Merciful
Why can't we all show the same mercy to all His creations
Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
This is the heartbeat of Islam
This is what it means to live as a Muslim
Amin Amin Ya Rabbal ‘Alamin
