Al-Mu'allim : THE TEACHER

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 of him ?
Oh Mu'allim...

He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mandkind,
Teacher of all Mankind.

Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
My beloved O Muhammad
My intercessor O Muhammad
The best of Allah's creation is Muhammad
O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers
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...

My beloved O Muhammad
My intercessor O Muhammad
My messenger O Muhammad
O bearer of good news O Muhammad
O warner O Muhammad
The love of my heart O 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 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
