Sami Yusuf: Al-Mu'allim Lyrics

Posted on November 12, 2004 02:17 PM under: Music

Upon popular request, here are the lyrics for Sami Yusuf's song "Al Mu'allim" (The Teacher).

Al-Mu'allim

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu'allim...

Chorus
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
He prayed while others slept
While others ate he’d fast,
While they would laugh he wept
Until 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..

Chorus
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
(O My Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
(O bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
(O warner O Muhammad)
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
(The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad
(Light of my eye O Muhammad)
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

Chorus
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa Ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
(O Chosen One O intercessor of the worlds)

how come sami yusuf only uses music in his songs? it would be nice if he also had versions of songs without music sold on CDs cuz some ppl dont like listening to music. Mashallah he has a nice voice but he needs to make versions of songs without music so everyone could listen to them.

Asalamualaykum. MashaAllah TabarakAllah, I think Sami Yusif's voice is beautiful and his way of enhancing it with simple instruments is amazing. May Allah bless him for his efforts and love for the Prophet Muhammad (SullAllahu A'alayhe Wa Salam). I very highly appriciate (and hope to also someday have one like it [inshaAllah]) his marvellous ability to calm people and encourage people's religiousness with his voice and praises to Allah and the Prophet (S A A W S). I pray that Allah will bless us all with such abilities, inshaAllah. Was Salamu A'alaykum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatu. :)

Posted by: ilknur at December 24, 2004 09:52 PM

there are haram instruments in sami yusuf's songs. according to the majority views within all four madhabs the only halal instrument is the daff (tambourine) and if you listen to some salafi's they'll say NO instrument is halal. sami is a great singer, but why taint a great nasheed with haram music that the greatest scholars of islam have said is haram. and dont dismiss this as mere fanaticism, go read what the madhabs and the scholars say themselves, that is all the daleel you need brothers and sisters. just because sami yusuf has a nice voice doesnt mean you should ignore the fact that he's doing haram and exporting it to the world (and probably making a mint from it at the same time)... astaghfirallah al azeem, pray for sami that allah swt forgives him for his sins and that he starts doing halal nasheeds soon, instead of haram ones.

Selamu aleyküm SAMi...Al-Muallim'i dinlemekten vazgeçemiyorum...Bir ilahi,bir ses ve yorum bu kadar mı güzel olur...MAASALLAH... selametle...

Yes his voice is very beautiful. May Allah give u more effective tasks and make them achieved.

We (the mukmins insyaallah) dont discriminate between prophets, and cant say as "ours the best", only Allah has the right to say this. We love all the prophets like we feel for the prophet Mohammad. (support him in the world by reading, understanding and applying the Holly Quran in a very good manner like our Prophet (sav) did )

Salamz
Yo sami yusuf, biggest salamz,just wana say dat, yeh ur nasheeds totally rock, but, i ,like sum other ppl r worried bout da fact dat u use instruments which r basically haram in ur nasheeds. dats de thing which reallly puts me down. i dnt understand nowdays many nasheed artists are impelemting the use of musical instruments in their productions, and this makes me think 2wice bout listening 2 them.its really a shame, especially when, with the cool voice u got, u dnt need instruemnts in ur nasheeds. Plz make sum new nasheeds WITHOUT haram instruments.
ur sista, Hafz

Dear Brother Yusuf!

The almighty decorated your voice with such gorgeous gift! All the praises goes to Allah, the most merciful, the most beneficent.

But sad enough, the insturment you used are haram. Like my other brothers and sisters, I do believe, needless to say, you do not need any instruments for your nasheeds, when they are haram.

Posted by: tefa at January 7, 2005 02:57 PM

asalamalaikum, i think sami has a great voice and his album was really nice. Ithink some people take it over the top that this music is halal and this is haram. Ithink music that inspires you towards ur deen is good nd that is what sami yusufs nasheeds do.great work sami i hope u make more albums.

Posted by: imrana at January 9, 2005 12:33 PM

Asalamalaikum Sami Yusuf

Mashallah your voise is the most beautiful voise i ever heard before. Inshallah you'll make more and more albums in the future. I love you nasheeds and instruments.
