As Salaam Alaikum, this is Allahu by Sami Yusuf. Insha Allah you like it. Please read the entire description.

Chorus
Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu
Truly He is the One
He has no father or son
Everything in creation was by Him begun
With His infinite power anything could be done
Ask Allah for His Pardon
And you'll enter the Garden

Chorus
Before Him there were none
Of partners He has none
He knows what is apparent and what is hidden
All the fate of creation has already been written
His Will is always done
And can never be undone

Chorus
From amongst all humans
Muhammad was chosen
He was illiterate and he was an orphan
Yet Allah sent him to those who were pagans
Oh Allah let us drink
From his hand in the fountain

Chorus
Ya Allah You're the Sovereign
You're the Sultan of Sultans
Please protect me from Shaytan and all of his treason
Let him not with his whispers my iman ever weaken
My only wish in this life
Is to attain Your Pardon

Regarding the use of instruments in this song and since so many brothers and sisters have asked about them or given their opinion on the use of them here are the words of brother Sami Yusuf himself on the matter.

Extract from "Open Letter From Sami Yusuf to Yvonne Riddley (17/06/06)":

"As a Muslim artist, I regularly seek clarification and advice from world-renowned scholars on art, music, singing and culture. Be informed that the subject of music is one of the most controversial topics in Islamic Jurisprudence. I respect those who consider music to be haram. Yes eminent scholars of our past have opined such. However, I respect and follow the opinion of other eminent scholars -- classical and contemporary, who permit singing and the use of musical instruments. The well-established jurisprudential rule states that 'in matters where there is ikhtilaf (differences of opinion) there is to be no condemnation of either opinion.' This is from the beauty of the religion of Islam."

And Allah swt knows best.

  • Who wants to fill me in on the difference between Allah and Allahu?

  • @Froschsenki There are more reasons than this that Allahu is used in Arabic but in the case of this song I believe "Allahu" simply means "Allah is". The chorus is saying "Allah is, Allah is, Allah is...." and the rest of the lyrics are telling us who and what Allah is. Same way as it is used in the takbir "Allahu" akbar! ("Allah is" great/the greatest).

  • @Bloodlustless Allahu literally translated is "The God". There is no word for "is" in arabic. Allahu akbar literally means "Allah greatest".

    Allah and Allahu mean the exact same thing.

  • @fandanstan thanks for clearing that up brother. I'm not a native speaker so happy someone who is can provide the info. :)

  • @FolkBoyify Sorry, but I don't think you understand how the Arabic language works. There is NO word in Arabic that means "is".

    Allahu-Akbar = Allah is the Greatest, but LITERALLY translated, it means "Allah Greatest". You see, we put the "is" because we try to make sense of it in our own language.

  • @fandanstan Actually..there IS the "is" Allahu Akbar-God is the Greatest

  • @JwBeliever
