Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Teacher of all mankind
Abal Qasim
Ya Habibi, ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i, ya Muhammad
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
Ya Mustafa, ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa, ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
Ya Mustafa, ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa, ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
[Verse 2]
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]
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
[Verse 3]
Ya Mustafa, ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa, ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
Ya Mustafa, ya Imamal Mursalina
Ya Mustafa, ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
