Chord/Tab song: Al-Mu'Allim

Intro : C G F Am E

[Am]We once had a Teacher
[Em]The Teacher of teachers,
[G]He changed the world for the better
[F]And made us better creatures,
[Am]Oh Allah we?ve shamed ourselves
[Em]We?ve strayed from Al-Mu?allim,
[G]Surely we?ve wronged ourselves
[F]What will we say in front him?
[Dm]Oh Mu?alli[Am]m?

Chorus
[F/Dm]He was Muhammad salla A[G]llahu ?alayh[Am]i wa sallam,
[F/Dm]Muhammad, mer[G]cy upon Mankind[Am],
[F/Dm]He was Muhammad salla Al[G]lahu ?alayhi[Am] wa sallam,
[F/Dm]Muhammad, merc[G]y upon Mankin[Am]d,
[G]Teacher of all Man[Am]kind.

[F]Abal Qasim (one of the names of the Prophet)
[Em]Ya Habibi ya Muhamm[F]ad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
[Em]Ya Shafi?i ya Muhamm[F]ad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
[G]Khayru khalqillahi Muha[Am]mmad

[Am]Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
[Am]Ya Mustafa ya Shafi?al ?Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)

[Am]He prayed while others[Em] slept
[F]While others ate he?d [Em]fast,
[G]While they would laugh he wept
[F]Until he breathed his last,
[Am]His only wish was for us to be
[Em]Among the ones who prosper,
[G]Ya Mu?allim peace be upon you,
[F]Truly you are our Teacher,
[Dm]Oh Mu?alli[Am]m..

[Am]He taught us to be just and[G] kind
[Em]And to feed the poor [Am]and hungry,
[G]Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
[Em]And to not be cruel an[Am]d miserly,
[G]His speech was soft and gentle,
[Em]Like a mother stroki[Am]ng her child,
[G]His mercy and compassion,
[Em]Were most radiant w[Am]hen he smiled
