MY TRUE RELIGION
The love of Muhammad and his family
Is my true religion, my reason to be
And if when I die my sins are too many
The love of Muhammad will rescue me
The love of Muhammad will rescue me
Allahumma salli ala-l-Mustafa
Habibna Muhammad alayhi salaam
May God bless the Bedouin for the question he asked
Which unveiled the secret of the power of love
The answer to which made Abu Bakr dance:
You'll be with the ones whom you love
You'll be with the ones whom you love
Allahumma salli ala-l-Mustafa
Habibna Muhammad alayhi salaam
For Allah to love you, obey his command
Which says "If you love Me then follow Muhammad"
To follow Muhammad you must love Muhammad
For how can you follow that which you don't love?
Allahummah salli ala-l-Mustafa
Habibna Muhammad alayhi salaam
If you love Muhammad you must love everyone
For his light is truly inside everyone
He is the Mercy sent to every one
Only through love can we become one
Only through love can we become one
Allahummah salli ala-l-Mustafa
Habibna Muhammad alayhi salaam.
