A Mercy to the Worlds

[Intro] (Solo Oud melody, melancholic and slow) (Ney flute enters softly) [Verse 1] [Gritty Male Vocals] In the silence of the soul, a whisper starts to rise A book without a doubt, beneath the open skies It calls the wandering heart to find its true home No longer left in darkness, no longer left to roam “This is the guidance,” the ancient verses say For those who seek the Light at the breaking of the day To know the One, to love the One, to trust in His command To lift the heavy burden from the trembling human hand [Pre-Chorus] [Strings swell, Ney becomes prominent] Not just belief, but character refined Leaving the shadows of the self behind [Chorus] [Ethereal Smooth Females Chorus] (Powerful, anthemic, full neoclassical orchestra) Oh, guide us to the Source, where all rivers begin Wash away the idolatry, cleanse the outer sin From Adam’s first breath to the final trumpet’s call We are one community, standing tall, standing tall It’s not just belief, it’s the character we build On foundations of mercy, by justice fulfilled A mercy to the worlds, a light that never fades Walking through the valley, unafraid, unafraid [Verse 2] [Gritty Male Vocals] (Music drops back to Oud and light percussion) Look at the stars above, look at the soil below Reflect upon the history, let the knowledge flow Reason and contemplation, paths to truth’s clear face We are trustees of the earth, in this sacred space Life is but a test, a momentary gain But the soul seeks eternity, beyond the joy and pain Awake to the accountability, the judgment and the grace Prepare for the Hereafter, seek the eternal embrace [Chorus] [Ethereal Smooth Females group Chorus] (Full power, driving rhythm, orchestral hit) Oh, guide us to the Source, where all rivers begin Wash away the idolatry, cleanse the outer sin From Adam’s first breath to the final trumpet’s call We are one community, standing tall, standing tall It’s not just belief, it’s the character we build On foundations of mercy, by justice fulfilled A mercy to the worlds, a light that never fades Walking through the valley, unafraid, unafraid [Bridge] [Dramatic Build-up] (Rough Male Ad-libs underneath Smooth Female Lead) Confirming what came before, the prophets’ noble line Abraham, Moses, Jesus—truths that still shine Clarifying the message, preserving the way For the poor, for the weak, for the dawning of the day “Indeed, Allah commands justice,” the verse rings out loud Excellence and generosity, breaking every shroud Compassion for the neighbor, dignity for all Answering the divine, answering the call! [Instrumental Interlude] (Oud and Ney duel over swelling strings) [Verse 3] [Gritty Male Vocals] (Music softens, intimate and reflective) Four pillars hold the sky, four truths to keep us whole Knowing God in Tawḥīd, healing the broken soul Purifying the heart, in Tazkiyah’s gentle fire Establishing justice, lifting humanity higher Building peace together, under guidance divine A civilization rooted in the sacred sign [Outro] [Ethereal Smooth Female group Chorus] (Slow fade, Oud and Piano only) To know Him... To worship Him... To love Him... To trust. From the dust we came, to the mercy we return Let the lessons of the Qur’an forever burn In the heart of man... A mercy to the worlds. (Final sustained Ney note) [End]
