My Ummah

My ummah*, my ummahHe will sayRasulullah* on that day

Even though we've strayed from him and his way

My brothers, my sisters, in Islam

Let's struggle, work, and pray

If we are to

Bring back the glory of his way

CHORUS:

Ya Allah ya rabbal 'alamin

Ya rahmanu ya rahim

Ya rabbi

O Allah Lord of the Worlds

O Merciful and Beneficent

O my Lord

Let the Ummah rise again

Let us see daylight again

Once again

Let's become whole again

Proud again

'Cause I swear with firm belief in

our hearts

We can bring back the glory of our past

My ummah, my ummah

He will say

Rasulullah on that day

Even though we strayed from him and his way

Look at where we were

And look at where we are

And tell me

Is this how he'd want it to be?

Oh no! Let us bring back our glory

CHORUS

- Sami Yusuf (from his 2005 album My Ummah)

* Ummah: the worldwide community of Muslims.

* Rasulullah: Messenger of God.
