ALHAMDULILLAH
Dawud Wharnsby Ali n Yusuf Islam
I'm just a rock, and every day I sit and watch the sky
I sleep here in the sun and rain, and do not question why
I don't want to be a bird, 'cause as rocks we're never meant to fly
But you can sit and rest on me when you pass by
Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) - Alhamdulillah I'm a rock
And that is all Allah asks of me
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
I'm just a tree and this is the only life I'll ever know
I'll bow my bows and worship whenever I feel the wind blow
And my purpose in life is to grow and Allah says grow
And be a home for the birds and shade for folks below
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a tree
And that is all Allah asks of me
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
I'm just a person and my life is full of opportunity
I can travel through the world, over land and over sea
But will I choose the path of Truth, or a path to misguide me?
Sometimes I wish I had a simple life, just like a rock or a tree
But Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a person
And Allah has given me a choice that's free
So, Alhamdulillah - I choose to be a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a person
And Allah has given me a choice that's free
So, Alhamdulillah - I choose to be a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
No, there's nothing else I'd rather be
I sleep here in the sun and rain, and do not question why
I don't want to be a bird, 'cause as rocks we're never meant to fly
But you can sit and rest on me when you pass by
Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) - Alhamdulillah I'm a rock
And that is all Allah asks of me
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
I'm just a tree and this is the only life I'll ever know
I'll bow my bows and worship whenever I feel the wind blow
And my purpose in life is to grow and Allah says grow
And be a home for the birds and shade for folks below
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a tree
And that is all Allah asks of me
Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
I'm just a person and my life is full of opportunity
I can travel through the world, over land and over sea

Alhamdulillah - Alhamdulillah I'm a person
And Allah has given me a choice that's free
So, Alhamdulillah - I choose to be a Muslim
And there's nothing else I'd rather be
No, there's nothing else I'd rather be

Imam Ghazali woke up one early morning and as usual offered his prayers and then enquired what day it was, his younger brother, Ahmad Ghazali replied,"Monday." He asked him to bring his white shroud, kissed it, stretched himself full length and saying "Lord, I obey willingly," breathed his last.
And underneath his head rest they found the following verses; composed by him, probably, during the night.
"Say to my friends, when they look upon me, dead
Weeping for me and mourning me in sorrow
Do not believe that this corpse you see is myself
In the name of God, I tell you, it is not I,
I am a spirit, and this is naught but flesh
It was my abode and my garment for a time.
I am a treasure, by a talisman kept hid,
Fashioned of dust, which served me as a shrine,
I am a pearl, which has left it's shell deserted,
I am a bird, and this body was my cage
Whence I have now floron forth and it is left as a token
Praise to God, who hath now set me free
And prepared for me my place in the highest of the heaven,
Until today I was dead, though alive in your midst.
Now I live in truth, with the grave - clothes discarded.
Today I hold converse with the saints above,
With no veil between, I see God face to face.
I look upon "Loh-i-Mahfuz" and there in I read
Whatever was and is and all that is to be.
Let my house fall in ruins, lay my cage in the ground,
Cast away the talisman, it is a token, no more
Lay aside my cloak, it was but my outer garment.
Place them all in the grave, let them be forgotten,
I have passed on my way and you are left behind
Your place of abode was no deweling place for me.
Think not that death is death, nay, it is life,
A life that surpasses all we could dream of here,
While in this world, here we are granted sleep,
Death is but sleep, sleep that shall be prolonged
Be not frightened when death draweth night,
It is but the departure for this blessed home
Think of the mercy and love of your Lord,
Give thanks for His Grace and come without fear.
What I am now, even so shall you be
For I know that you are even as I am
The souls of all men come forth from God
The bodies of all are compounded alike
Good and evil, alike it was ours
I give you now a message of good cheer
May God's peace and joy for evermore be yours."
