Al-Habib

Wee, I googled the meaning of Habib, I think it means "beloved male".
So, here's the nasheed "Al-Habib" (which refer to our beloved male: Prophet Muhammad SAW).
I've been looking for this song for ages! :)

Here's the lyric of the song (I found it really beautiful ^_^)
Ohh, and the singer is Talib Al-Habib. Try to listen and feel it!

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

shine your mercy like the sun, and be gracious as the earth
let your kindness come like rain that cares not whom it falls upon
and let ocean deep your wisdom be, your heart and lanterns spreading peace
give yourself in love of Him, be like al-habib
and in your deepest needs and in your deepest grieve, call on Him in humility
place your trust in the One, to whom creation turns
you'll find redemption and find peace

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

be a blazing fire of truth, be a soothing balm of peace
with the light of your sincerity, break the clouds of tyranny
let your faith be like a blessed tree, give your shade to all who seek
may your roots run true and deep, take your strength from al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasulle salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik

and all the certainty will bring tranquility, contentment with Allah's decree
give thanks for all that comes, be patient and know that someday you will return to Him

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

hold fast to the company of the folk of certainty
through the gaze and through your love for them,
may you be as one of them
be as gentle as the whispering breeze, spread solace to the world we're in
let your heart and soul be mirror clear, give life and love to al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasulle salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik

and stand before Allah like nothing else exists, and worship Him like you are seen
be with all creation and all your deeds and words
as though you have no self to clean

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

yet when you master all of this, forget not your neediness
were it not for Allah's grace, none of this can be achieved
so be humble as the lonely earth, that all creatures walk upon
be the slave of the most merciful, take your light from al habib
so shine your mercy like the sun, send your light across the earth
let your kindness flow like rivers, quench the thirst of all who come
and let mountain strong your spirit be, let your heart melt out of love for Him
take the road that leads to Him, may you be with al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasul salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik (x2)
la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

my heart ♥


Oh, the title reminds me of one of the famous Indonesian song during my days in boarding school. Raise your hand if you know it! (well, of course I can't actually see your hand). The song is not really great vocally, but well, it kinda stuck in your head after hearing it for couple of times over and over again.

Anyway, that's not what I'm going to talk about.. It's about something else.
In one of the hadith,
Al-Numan bin Basheer narrated that he heard Prophet Muhammad SAW say,
"Surely there is in the body a small piece of flesh; if it is good, the whole body is good, and if it is corrupted, the whole body is corrupted, and that is surely the heart" (Bukhari & Muslim)
Got it? So, I think right now, my whole body is just corrupted, cause my heart is. This heart is so full with envy, jealousy, anger, dissatisfaction, greed, hypocrisy..all sorts of things, you name it. I personally think our heart is the most difficult thing to control. When you are angry, you'll just be angry. Even though it's not shown physically but the real fact is you are angry deep down inside your heart. And with the continuous whispering from the shaytan just make it a lot worse, right?

Astaghfirullahalazim. Don't let our heart stray away. I always try to keep that in mind. Let's do this. Fight our nafs! Don't let our nafs control us! Be a mujahideen fighting with our inner self to keep on this straight path to Jannah!

I wonder how black my heart looks. I wonder if I can bleach my heart with 'clorox' or something to make it whiter and shinier. I want my heart to fill with love for Allah, for Prophet Muhammad SAW, for the messengers of Allah, for my family, my friends..Ya Allah, please help me..

Allah said in the Qur'an,

O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (the Qur'an, ordering all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, a guidance and a mercy for the believers (Surah Yunus 10:57)

Those who believe and those whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest (Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:28)
Remember Allah and read the Qur'an. Yup, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Those are the remedies for this corrupted heart.

May Allah grant us with His blessings and guide us in His path towards Jannah. InsyaAllah..=)

Reminding myself before others~
