Al Mu'allim 05:49
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)

about

When Al Mu’allim was released in 2003 it became, quite literally, an instant HIT in and around the Muslim world spending 12 weeks at the top of the charts in both Egypt and Turkey.

With its release, Spiritique (Sami Yusuf’s self-coined musical genre) was also founded. Pop singers began implementing and in some cases copying the trend, comfortably incorporating religion and faith into their repertoire – which they would have otherwise never done had it not been for the immense success of Al Mu’allim.

Media, think tanks, scholars, philosophers and actors from all backgrounds could not help but acknowledge the great success Sami Yusuf’s music was enjoying in the Muslim world – particularly in the MENA region and Turkey.

Al Mu’allim was a ‘breath of fresh’ air in the music world; a groundbreaking debut album that redefined the interrelationship between music and spirituality, selling over three million copies and bringing much joy to the hearts and minds of many music lovers.
