Lyrics to For The Prophets

(Chorus)Asalaatu Alannabe, Wasalaam Alarasool

Walanbiyya el-Mursaleen,

Kulluhum Salooalay(Prayers To Allah be on Nabi - the

messenger,

may peace be on thee. And all the prophets sent to

mankind

We pray for each and everyone) Before he was born the

Pharaoh wanted him dead

Nobody killed him he floated up the river instead

Not a scratch on his body and no blood did he shed

Ended up at the house of the man that wanted his head

They didn't know, they raised him as a child of their

own

He was treated like a king up until he was grown

He protected a slave with one hit to one man with one

hand

Killed him by mistake so that's when he ran

Drawn to a burning bush and spoke with the Greatest

Who told him go right back to Pharaoh and make sure

that you say this:

You tell ‘em that you are a Messenger a Prophet of Mine

That I am the Divine and I am sending you with My signs

Pharaoh did decline, he rejected all 9 of the signs

Musa (Moses) said it's time, his people had to run to

the sea

Split it in half with his staff, Pharaoh drowned in the

wrath

Musa's people started worshipping a golden calf

Threw the tablets down because he was mad

It's sad that his people made him miss the Promised

Land

But he's still one of the 5 greatest Prophets in Islam



Chorus



From average beginnings

Come above average endings

A simple du'a to have righteous descendants

From a mother, to a daughter who would soon give birth

to a son

And right there

Miracle number 1

No father did he have to help conceive his birth

No other child would have this status here

on this planet Earth

And what's that phrase

From out of the mouths of babes

Schooling cats at a very young age

The sweetest of his breath bring life to birds of clay

Curing the blind so they could see a brighter day

Where Islam reigned supreme and the dunya gave way

Evil will be vanquished if strong the Muslims stay

Amongst his crew he asked the true to proclaim who they

are

NAHNU ANSARULLAH (We are the helpers of God)

So Native Deen lets tell the people right now who we

are

NAHNU ANSARULLAH

Healed those with leprosy raised the dead so we could

see

No limit to the will of Allah and Allah's mercy

But the heedless they scammed

Plot and they planned

You may have gotten the body

But you did not get the man

He was raised to Allah to soon return again

Easy comes His mercy to the righteous Mu'min & Mu'minah

So Prophet Isa (Jesus), I hope that they see

Why we sing this for thee



Chorus



571 was a time like no other

A baby was born to a poor widowed mother

Was raised by his uncle in the sands of Arabia

Known it the town by his upright behavior

Always doing favors for the poor and the neighbors

A true life saver when their problems were major

Khadijah his boss he would soon marry later

Check the love that she gave him and the love that he

gave her

At 40 years old, according to the Seerah in a cave

called Hira

On a spiritual retreat, he would meet Jibraeel

(Gabriel)

Angel Gabriel on the real

Holy Book of the Quran he had come to reveal: “Read in

the Name of your Lord Who created”

And thus began a message from Allah dictated

at 622 the Prophet made the Hijrah

Migrated to a place where the people got the picture

He could teach about Allah without his people being

beaten

His folks back in Mecca couldn't stand all the

preaching

So they planned an attack, the Muslims fought back

‘cos they ain't the type of people who sit back and get

sacked

But the Prophet wanted peace, they agreed upon a truce

For years there was peace, to teach about the truth

but the Meccans broke the treaty so the Prophet

conquered Mecca

The Prophet brought peace, was not even a speck of

bloodshed when he came and met his old foes

It's the mercy and the wisdom that the Prophet always

shows

A man of justice, equality and love

On him we pray for peace and the blessings from above.
