Why Are the Drums So Silent?- by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

All the sounds that surround us
All the noices that dumbfound us
The clatter and the clammer of the clutter in our lives.
Cars and streets make silent shatter
Idle minds fill up with idle chatter
If we fill our void that's all matters.

Why are the drums so silent?
Why can't we hear the rhythm?
What's wrong with you and I?
Why are the drums so silent?
Why can't we hear the rhythm from the heels of believers
Marching to the garden as they strive.

We've digitised the revelation
Does our rehearsed recitation
Go any deeper than our thrones.
Our call to prayer seems to raise up to the sky
Conferences and lectures, seminars for you and I.
The words that blow away with then a sheet that
makes us cry.

Why are the drums so silent?
Why can't we hear the rhythm?
What's wrong with you and I?
Why are the drums so silent?
Why can't we hear the rhythm from the heels of believers
Marching to the garden as they strive.

And if we can just be brave enough to be each others meer.
We may finally recognise the face of conscience that we fear
And if we can take the time to mute the noise
we’ve built around ourselves
The rhythm of a heartbeat and the purpose may be clear.

If we beat the drums
(A whisper of peace)
Beat the drums
(Moving through the land)
Beat the drums!

If we beat the drums of hope and faith
We will all fall into rhythm
I have faith in you and I
If we beat the drums of hope and faith
Then we will feel the rhythm
From our footsteps and our striving marching to the
garden as we thrive.

If we beat the drums of hope and faith
We will all fall into rhythm
I have faith in you and I
If we beat the drums of hope and faith
Then we will feel the rhythm
From our footsteps and our striving marching to the garden
as we die.

Turn to Allah - by Zain Bhikha

Where are you going?
Where are you going?
North, south, east or the west?
Where are you headed?
Oh where are you headed?
Turn to Allah.
He’s the best.
Cause he is there wherever you are.
So turn, turn, turn to Allah.

Where do you live?
Oh where do you live?
In a tent or in a town?
It doesn’t matter where you live.
You can soon be found.
Cause he is there wherever you are.
So turn, turn, turn to Allah.
Allah hu Allah hu
Jalla jalla la hu.

The Veil - by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

They say oh poor girl you’re so beautiful you know
It’s a shame that you cover up your beauty so
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly
This beauty that I have is just a simple part of me
This body that I have no stranger has the right to see
These longs clothes the shawl I wear
Ensure my modesty
Faith is more essential fashion
Wouldn’t you agree
This hijab this mark of piety.

Is an act of faith a symbol
For all the world to see
A simple cloth to preserve her dignity
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.

They tell her girl don’t you know this is the west and you are free
You don’t need to be oppressed ashamed of your femininity
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly
See the billboards and the magazines
That line the checkout aisles
With their phony painted faces and their air brushed smile
With their sheer clothes and low cut gowns
They are really not for me
You call it freedom and I call it anarchy
And this hijab this mark of piety.

Is an act of faith a symbol
For all the world to see
A simple cloth to preserve her dignity
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.
Lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity .
Lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity.

Silent Sunlight - by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
By the glorious morning light and by the night when it is still,
Your guardian Lord has not forsaken you, nor is he displeased.
And verily the hereafter is better for you than the present.
And soon will your guardian Lord give you that,
Where with you will be well pleased.
Did he not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
And he found you wandering and he gave you guidance?
And he found you in need and he made you independent?
Therefore treat not the orphans with harshness,
Nor repulse the petitioner,
In the bounty of your Lord, proclaim!

Lailahaillaallah
Lailahaillaallah

Silent sunlight,
Welcome in,
There is work I must now begin.
All my dreams have blown away,
And the children wait to play.
They’ll soon remember,
Things to do when the heart is young,
And the night is done,
And the sky is blue.

Lailahaillaallah
Lailahaillaallah

Morning songbird sing away,
Learn the tune to another day.
Bring your wings and choose a groove,
Sing a song of love and truth.
We’ll soon remember if you do,
When all things were tall,
And our friends were small,
And the world was new.

Lailahaillaallah
Lailahaillaallah

Sleepy horses heave away,
Put your backs to a golden hay.
Don’t ever look behind at the work you’ve done,
For your work has just begun.
They’ll be the evening in the end,
But till that time arrives ,
You can rest your eyes and begin again.

Lailahaillaallah,
Silent sunlight,
Lailahaillaallah,
Morning song,
Lailahaillaallah,
Silent sunlight,
Welcome in!
