Taken from his album Colour Of Islam

Colors Of Islam by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Allah made us all a different shade and colour.
Nations and tribes recognize one another!
’cause every single muslim is your sister or brother.
So many different colours of Islam.
Fill the world with colour, paint it everywhere you go.
Paint everything you see, and tell everyone you know.

Qur’an will be your paint, and your brush will be iman,
So fill the world with colour, every colour of Islam.   

Truth as clear and blue as the sky we walk under.
Love as bright and loud as the lightening and thunder.
Peace as pure and white as the moon, so full of wonder.
So many different colours of Islam!

Fill the world with colour, paint it everywhere you go.
Paint everything you see, and tell everyone you know.
Qur’an will be your paint, and your brush will be iman,
So fill the world with colour, every colour of Islam.

Smiles, warm and shining, like the sun upon our faces.
Hope as rich and green as the trees of an oasis.
The colours of our faith bloom in so many places.
So many different colours of Islam

Fill the world with colour, paint it everywhere you go.
Paint everything you see, and tell everyone you know.
Qur’an will be your paint, and your brush will be iman,
So fill the world with colour, every colour of Islam. 

 

Another song from him.
Sing, Children of the World by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Walking through the crowded streets of a market in Morocco
Sitting on a smiling camel in the desert of Arabia
Chasing ’round the bamboo trees abandoned in Indonesia
Gathering brightly coloured leaves in a forest of Canada
Napping beneath the date palm shade under blue skies of Tunisia
Sweeping out his parents’ shop on a side street in Pakistan
Planting rows of beans and maize on a small farm in Uganda
Laying back to count the stars from somewhere in Afghanistan
Oh Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
Splashing through the pouring rain in a village of Guyana
Nibbling cakes from picnic plates on a mountain top in Switzerland
Tending to a flock of sheep down under in Australia
Greeting morning with a prayer on the golden Egyptian Sand
Oh Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
Crying himself to sleep with no hope left for dreaming
Begging in the burning sun, holding out her hand
Palms held tightly on his ears to muffle all the screaming
Sitting where her house once stood trying hard to understand
See the Children of the World (Subhannallah)
All the Children of the World (Subhannallah)
Sing for the Children of the World (Subhannallah)
Pray for the Children of the World (Subhannallah)
[DWA and Children]
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Come together and hear the call
Sing Children of the World (Sing along)
Islam will unite us all
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
Subhanallah, Wa Alhamdullillah Wa Allahu Akbar!
