Iman - the Articles of Faith: Lyrics
amantu billahi wa mala’ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulihi wa al-yaum al-akhiri wa al-qadri khayrihi wa sharrihi min Allah wa al-ba’si ba`d al-maut, la ilaha illa Allah Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures And to believe in destiny That good and bad both come from Him And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah. La ilaha illa Allah (x3), Muhammad Rasulullah Allah is the creator of heaven and of earth Nothing may compare with Him, He is the One alone The prophets, best of humankind Sent to all nations and all tribes Last of all Muhammad, mercy to the worlds.
Formed of light and beauty, the angels of the Lord To praise Allah, to help mankind, Jibril brings the word. The scriptures, all by Allah sent, Torah, Psalms and Gospel then The source of perfect guidance, the Glorious Quran. The reckoning, the Final Day, when all will see their works Remade in soul and body to stand before the Lord With patience bearing every grief With thankfulness for all blessings We are content with destiny, the Will of Allah. Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures And to believe in destiny That good and bad both come from Him And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah.
