GOD IS THE LIGHT EVERLASTING How great the wonder of the heaven and the timeless beauty of the night How great then, how great the creator And its star like priceless jewels, far beyond the reach of kings Bow down for the shepherd guiding him home But how many eyes are closed to wonders of this night Like pearls hidden deep beneath the dark stream of desire But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer and dawn extinguishes night Here to the signs, God is the light, God is the light How great the beauty of the earth and the creatures who dwell on earth How great,then how great the creator As its mountains pierce the clouds, high above the lives of men Weeping rivers for thousand of years But how many hearts are closed to the wonders of this sight Like birds in a cage, sleep with closed wings But like works stop with the call to prayer and birds recite Here to the signs, God is the light God is the light How great the works of man and the things he makes How great then how great the creator Though he strives to reach the heavens, he can barely survive The walls of the world he lives in Yet how many times he tried himself to immortalize Like his parents before him in the Garden of Eden But like sun sets with call to prayer and surrenders to night Here to are signs God is the light God is the light everlasting God is the light everlasting Lyrics of a nasheed sung/written by Imam Yusuf Islam ( formerly know as Cat Stevens) :-X |

| [slm] Sr. Ayeshaz and An have you ever heard nasheed's by Raitoon? I think their songs appear on Shiekh Yusuf Islam's nasheed compilation tape. They are malay and their nasheeds are so nice mashallah. wasalam. |

| [slm] Salaams, yeah I think that's a really great cross over song. You could play that at a southern baptist convention and no one would be the wiser. And Raihan are the bomb. I was so addicted to their music video for a minute, but it's getting old now, because I've seen it like 3 years straight at isna. |
