new songs to be shared- maher zain...

last school hols, i was back in Bertam for a week for my c's Lang weds...it was a bliss to be able to be home for a long time Plus hubby gone on a course...so more time to spend in Bertam ketam than in pasir tumbuh alone with MZr right....


on this short hols, i fall in love with this new nasyeed artist - Maher Zain..1st time heard the songs when my lil bro played it on the Pc while playing games....then again in the car on the way to Mee Udang Yusof Pulau sayak.... directly fall in love with the songs, lyrics especially...Awaken, Barakallah...


some of the lyrics just sort of make me think bout myself esp after i just finished reading Versus by Hlovate....if you have read versus and relate to the lyric of Awaken, you can surely sense what is it about...a bit of versus, its about a girl change from a skatergirl to a better muslimah, and a skater boy change to be a better muslim bcause of the girl at first but found the way for Allah after a while...its not about the story but bout the things said by the author that make me think bout my life, my practice of life etc...you have to read to understand it more...but some of the things is, like, is it enough that we pray 5 times a day, read quran once a day...baca yasin malam jumaat, ckup puasa,byr zakat...but what bout other things in life to be a good muslims, like tgjwb kita pd pencipta kita as khaliq, kita as khalifah, tgjwb kita pd jiran tetangga, sanak saudara, berdakwah sbarkan islam etc..is it enough we just do our routine?is it enuf kita solat 5 waktu tapi kita tak ttp aurat dgn sempurna..?adakah kita dah ckup baik???


bilamana sdh trg2an Firman Allah SWT dalam ayat 208 surah al-Baqarah bermaksud: 


"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam secara menyeluruh dan janganlah kamu mengikuti langkah-langkah syaitan. Sesungguhnya syaitan itu adalah musuh kamu yang nyata."


maka wajar kah kita hnya mengambil sebahagian yang kita ingin ikut dan tggal sebahagian yang lain??


kita ingin jadi baik..but baik kita adakah baik kita ikut definisi Allah?


kita nak deifinise baik kita,haruslah  beriman dengan Allah mean mengikut apa yang Allah suruh, hindar apa Allah larang..so selagi kita tak mencukupi all apa yang Allah suruh dan hindar apa yang Allah larang, kita masih blum ckup baik...


kita tak mgkin jd sempurna mcm Nabi...but kita masih boleh trus mencuba dan trus mencuba utk jdi baik ikut definisi Allah kan...


those are some of the things that I got from Versus...


Plus the lyrics from Maher Zain - Awaken just make me think more and more ...


try to see the lyrics and do ponder to what i said earlier...you can find the songs in 4shared.com or youtube....reading and listening to songs doesnt have to be a lagha thing as long as you get something good in them....insyAllah....

AWAKEN- MAher zain

We were given so many prizes

We changed the desert into oasis

We built buildings of different lengths and sizes

And we felt so very satisfied

We bought and bought

We couldn’t stop buying

We gave charity to the poor ’cause

We couldn’t stand their crying

We thought we paid our dues

But in fact

To ourselves we’re just lying

Oh

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I’m walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we’d bought

We went to London, Paris and

We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops

Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power

We forgot to teach our children about history and honor

We didn’t have any time to lose

When we were.. (were)

So busy feeling so satisfied

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I’m walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul

despite the heat

Our homes felt so empty and cold

To fill the emptiness

We bought and bought

Maybe all the fancy cars

And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister

It’s time to change inside

Open your eyes

Don’t throw away what’s right aside

Before the day comes

When there’s nowhere to run and hide

Now ask yourself ’cause Allah’s watching you

Is He satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Is Allah satisfied?

Oh

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place

I’m walking with my head lowered from my race

Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west

When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
