Hafiz Aayatur Rahman Abdullah, Ghana

In the name of the One, most Merciful, most Kind,
Let me praise the God, whose light does shine,
In every corner of the Earth and sky,
His mercy and love never run dry.

In the Quran, His words are told,
A guide for the lost, a balm for the cold,
His justice is fair, His forgiveness wide,
In His grace, all faithful hearts confide.

He is the Compassionate, the Most High,
His wisdom we cannot fully descry,
Through trials and joys, He tests our will,
In His mercy, we find peace, be still.

In the whispers of the wind, the songs of the birds,
His presence is felt, in every word,
In the beauty of creation, His greatness is shown,
In every heart that beats, His love is known.

In the Islamic faith, we find our way,
Guided by His light, day by day,
In prayer and worship, we draw near,
To the God who holds us, without fear.

So let us praise Him, with every breath,
In life and death, in joy and distress
For in His goodness, we find our peace,
In His grace, our worries cease.

Oh Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Wise,
To You, we lift our grateful cries,
Guide us on the path of righteousness,
In Your goodness, we find our happiness.
