O Mosque, O Mosque!
O Mosque, O Mosque, O sacred place,
O Mosque, O Mosque, center of grace.
Your minaret, from which light abounds,
Sends forth your meaningful sounds.
With a hundred counsels you invite us,
To hasten towards Allah's forgiveness.
Hasten for the prayer-food of sages,
Time of ascension and flying through ages.
Hasten in my direction the prayer, the prayer,
The best work is prayer so honest and fair.
O Mosque, fair guide of the human race,
The sound from you is the sound of faith.
A tent of light on dark, dark land,
A cool canopy on hot, scorching sand.
Over our heads, you, kind neighbor,
Our citadel in times of danger.
Holy cradle of heart, soul and faith,
Of me and Allah, a meeting place.
The Sacred Qur'an
The Sacred Qur’an
The Holy Qur’an
The Holy Qur’an, Book of guidance and light
That Sacred Lamp. that makes the truth so bright
Removes the blinkers. and frees our sight
Shows to us the path. that is straight and right
He from Whom this Book we received.
Then the Qur’an will be your best friend,
Till in Paradise. joy without end
But if the Qur’an you choose to ignore.
Then before you Hell is in store
Thus our Qur’an. we hold dearer and dearer.
As towards perfection we come nearer and nearer.
A sacred book that inspires the wise
We defend most bravely, with our wealth and lives.
Whatever You See…
Whatever You See...
Whatever you see, wherever you go,
Was created by Allah, be sure to know.
The sun by day, the moon at night,
The glittering stars; three kinds of light.
Plants, flowers, trees so tall,
Roses, lilies, ivy on the wall,
Deserts, jungles, mountains high,
The book of Nature, `tween earth and sky,
All this, the wonderful creation,
Of Allah. His Might beyond estimation
