Zain Bhikha - The Journey lyrics

All across, ocean and land Incumbent on all man Is the pilgrimage to Mecca Fifth pillar of Islam In the footsteps of Muhammed (PBUH The last prophet of Allah Chorus: Bow Down, Bow down and praise Allah First sight of the Ka'bah Break down and Praise Allah The path, this journey from afar To the city of Makkah To strengthen what we believe in The voyage we undertake Hear the echo in the wind Labaik, Allah Humma Labbaik Chorus Ismaeel, son of Ibraheem Lay on the burning sand With his mother running frantically Between Safa and Marwa From the sky came Angel Jibraeel Brought a blessing from Allah...Allah Chorus It isn't always easy, there is so much we don't know So many people in this world just don't know which way to go But if our faith prevails We'll always do our very best To have the strongest conviction And survive the greatest test Here we are, leaving Mina Conviction in our hearts Crying out to the heavens On the plains of Arafah Standing proud beside my brother Silent at Muzdalifah Chorus
