If your kids are being bombarded by Christmas rhymes this month and you are looking for an alternative, here is a beautiful Muslim Christmas song by Brother Raef about Mary and Jesus, peace be upon them. Enjoy with your family.
Lyrics:
Search the sky for light and glory, La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)
The moon will smile, don’t you worry, La ilaha illa Allah
Upon Muhammad, peace and blessings, La ilaha illa Allah
Join together Let us all sing! La ilaha illa Allah
Peace upon the son of Mary, La ilaha illa Allah
Jesus sent with love and mercy, La ilaha illa Allah
He filled the hearts that once were hollow, La ilaha illa Allah
The more you give, the more will follow! La ilaha illa Allah
Rabbee salli ‘ala Muhammad, (O Allah, send peace & blessings upon Muhammad)
La ilaha illa Allah
Saadiqul wa’dil Mumajjad, (He is truthful in his promise and ennobled)
La ilaha illa Allah
Wa ‘ala ‘Issa Ibni Maryam, (And [send peace & blessings] upon Jesus the son of Mary)
La ilaha illa Allah
Allathi fil mahdi takallam, (He who spoke as a newborn baby)
La ilaha illa Allah
‘Tis the season to be jolly, La ilaha illa Allah
Share a smile with everybody, La ilaha illa Allah
Even though our time is fleeting, La ilaha illa Allah
We look forward to our meeting! La ilaha illa Allah
La la la… La la la ilaha illa Allah!
