Al-Mu'allim Songtext
von Sami Yusuf

We once had a teacher
The teacher of teachers
He changed he world
For the better and made us
Better creatures, oh allah
We have shamed ourselves
We have strayed from al mu′alim
Surely we have wronged ourselves
What will we say infront of him?
Oh, mu'allim he was
Muhammed, sala Allah a′alayhi wa salam(peace be upon him)
Muhammed, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammed sala Allah a'alayhi wasalam (peace be upon him)

Muhammed, mercy upon mankind

Teacher of mankind


(One of the names of prophet Muhammed peace be upon him)
Ya habibi ya Muhammed
(My beloved O Muhammed)
Ya shafi'i ya Muhammed
(My intercessor O Muhammed)
Khayru khalqi Allahi Muhammed
(The best of Allah′s creation is Muhammed)
Ya mostafa, ya imam al morsaleena
(O chosen one, O imam of the messengers)
Ya mostafa, ya shafi′i al a'alameena

He prayed while others slept
While others ate, he would fast
While they would laugh, he wept
Untill 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. he was Muhammed
Sala Allah a′alayhi wasalam
(Peace be upon you)
Muhammed, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammed
Sala Allah a'alayhi wasalam
(Peace be upon you)
Muhammed, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of mankind
Ya habibi, ya Muhammed

Ya shafi'i, ya Muhammed
(My intercessor O Muhammed)
Ya rasuli, ya Muhammed
(My prophet O Muhammed)

Ya bashiri, ya Muhammed
(My bearer of good news O muhamed)
Ya nadhiri, ya Muhammed
(O warner O Muhammed)
Ishqu qalbi, ya Muhammed
(The love of my heart O Muhammed)
Nuru a′yini, ya Muhammed

(The light of my eyes O Muhammed)
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry
Help the 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
He was Muhammed, sala Allah a′alayhi wasalam (peace be upon him)
Muhammed, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammed, sala Allah a'alayhi wasalam (peace be upon him)
Muhammed, mercy upon mankind

Teacher of mankind

Ya mostafa, ya imam al morsaleena
(O chosen one, O imam of the messengers)
Ya mostafa, ya shafi′i al a'alameena
(O chosen one, O intercessor of the worlds)
Ya mostafa, ya imam al morsaleena
(O chosen one, O imam of the messengers)
Ya mostafa, ya shafi′i al a'alameena
(O chosen one, O intercessor of the worlds)

Ya mostafa, ya imam al morsaleena
(O chosen one, O imam of the messengers)
Ya mostafa, ya shafi'i al a′alameena
(O chosen one, O intercessor of the worlds)
Ya mostafa, ya imam al morsaleena
(O chosen one, O imam of the messengers)
Mu′allim
(Teacher)
