The Story of Ibrahim

In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful And mentioned in the book, the story of Ibrahim (PBUH) Verily, he was a man of truth, a prophet Father, oh father, why do you do it? Why do you wittle all day? Why do you carve those statues of wood, and fashion those idols out of clay? Father, oh father, why do you do it? Why do you bow down and pray? To all those empty gods you've made, when there is such a far better way There is only one god, La ilaha illallah Lord of both the earth and sky who knows all the answers to where, what, and why There is only one god, La ilaha illallah. I've looked to the sky seen the moon and stars, come and quickly fade away I've seen the sun so strong and bright, die at the end of the day I've seen the perfection of all creation in every creature and leaf. And I don't understand any woman or man who denies the one true belief There is only one god, La ilaha illallah He will not fade and He will not die and he knows all the answers to where, what, and why There is only one god, La ilaha illallah People, oh people, why won't you heed my call to straight way Your hearts are as hard as the idols you carve You listen but won't hear a word that I say People, oh people, why put your faith in gods of gold and wood They crumble away, they have no life. They cause no harm and they do no good There is only one god, La illaha illallah I don't understand why you choose to deny that Allah has the answers to where, what, and why There is only one god, La illaha illallah People, oh people, you've tried to break me. You've called me a fool and a liar But I will not burn in your flames, for faith in Allah will cool any fire So hate me or hurt me, do what you will even banish me from this land I will pray to Allah that the truth comes to you and I pray that someday you will all understand There is only one god, La illaha illallah Lord of both the earth and the sky, who will not fade and who will not die There is only one god, La illaha illallah No I don't understand why you choose to deny that Allah knows the answers to where, what, and why There is only one god, La illaha illallah
