Description
"Oh, the moon has come, the day is done,
the night has covered up the sun,
I have stood so often before you to pray,
but I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?"
Dawud Wharnsby returns with his friend and partner in rhyme, Zain Bhika, to brighten up your day with more playful songs of praise.
Taking listeners from dusk till dawn, or Fajr to Isha in the prayer cycle, each song joyfully celebrates life’s everyday actions, looking for the joy in each experience and how it reconnects us to the Creator.
Come... say salam, sing along, and bring a little piece of peace into the world.
"Salam Neighbour! Hi!
Let’s get together you and I.
A new day has just begun,
you call the rain, I’ll call the sun,
and we can sing and we can splash,
and we can shine down on the grass.
Believe in make-believe, long as we can!
Hi neighbour! Salam!"
