Sami Yusuf Song
Supplication
Composition : Smi Yusuf
Lyrics : Bara al- Ghannochi
Allahuma slli’ala sayyidina Muhammad an-Nabiyyi al-ummiyyi,
Wa’ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim
(O Allah, send your peace and blessing upon our Master Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions)
O my Lord my sins are like
The highest mountain ;
My good deeds
Are very few
They ‘re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your forgiveness and Mercy upon me
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the final prophet and his family,
And companions and those who follow him.

Sami Yusuf Al-Mu’allim - The Teacher
Sami Yusuf Song
Al-Mu’allim - The Teacher
Lyrics and Composition : Sami Yusuf
We once had a Teacher
The teacher of the teacher
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’he wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu’alim…
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 name 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 other 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…
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad (My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi’I ya Muhammad (My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ra Rasuli ya Muhammad (Oh my Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya muhamad (O Bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad (The love of my heart O Muhammad)
‘Ishqu Qalbi ya Bashiri ya Muhammad (The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru ‘Ayni ya Muhamad (Light of my eye O Muhammad)
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help and 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
