*LYRICS* My thoughts After midnight, 2:33 The time I wrote this cuz when it’s dark and the stars unfold Yeah I struggle to sleep I lie to myself saying “You’re a big man bro don’t you dare try and weep” Cuz you’ve been through the bumpy roads, cracked concrete on those hills that are steep The next day I wake up think about style Like how am I gonna match this broken heart with an off-white smile I been rocking this outfit for a minute now, yeah it’s been a while And I don’t see it being worn out, so I tell myself “Yarimi, you can go for another mile” That mile now gets multiplied, I’m rocking this outfit everyday it’s on repeat Fighting demons from different regions but with Oneness, how could I taste defeat? There’s Rububiyyah, and there’s also Uloohiyyah And everybody’s Sunni so I’m claiming Salafiyyah But it doesn’t mean I’m one though I just mean I’m striving We’re rushing to the cameras but Sahaba they were hiding Sometimes I sit and think and by the dunya I’ve been blinded We’ve all gotta eat, so the dunya we don’t mind it (x2) But you see, you see, we can calculate our wages But can’t calculate when the last third of the night is And tell my why we have to wake up to children dying if freedom is priceless We learn a hadith, and then we act like we can swim That’s why Zayd ibn Abi Zarqa narrates Sufyan Al-Thawri saying: تعجَّلوا بركة هذا العلم (Ta3ajjalu barakata haadha al-3lm) Hasten towards the benefit of this knowledge Cuz without knowledge you wouldn’t know that a few oats, milk and a microwave could make porridge You see I’ve lived that life, the life of music, the struggle of girls and the struggle of no prayer I’ve lived the life of my teachers in school loving me so much to the point where they made me meet the mayor “I’ve lived the life of a practicing Muslim”, I say that in quotation marks I’ve lived the life of a person who opens up books by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in the dark I’ve lived the life of waking up for Fajr, praying in the masjid then after that I begin classes Al-Waraqaat, Qawa3id Al-Fiqhiyyah, or maybe Qawa3id Al-3rba it’s crazy how time passes Ta3dheem Al-3lm, Arba3un An-Nawawi, Thalathatul Usool, it’s crazy how deep Islamic knowledge and books are, this is what they should’ve taught me in their curriculum in school But instead we’re taught topics that could shake a layman’s belief like Darwinian Evolution We ask ourselves why our kids turn out like this, when deep down we know the solution Get them out of here, this ain’t a place for celebrities I look at my own self and I think, ah man such beautiful memories Al7amdulillah I haven’t fallen off, I still pray my 5 a day, read Qur’an aloud everywhere I go So to a certain degree, I’d say I’m doing okay But when it’s night time and the lights are off, and it’s just me and my thoughts I think to myself what the hell happened to everything I was taught What happened to the guy that was always in the mosque What happened to the guy who was so firm and stern But now he’s slipping and it feels like that character is lost And don’t comment saying “don’t worry brother, you don’t have to be hard on yourself” This is just me بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ (rather man will be a witness against himself) (Bal il-Insaanu 3la nafsihi ba6eerah) So I know what I need to do, to get to where I need to be Man, I should’ve never stepped into this scene I’m eating my cereal, and I’m taking a video on snap But when I go to upload it, the video turns out flipped and everybody knows about that You know what’s coming next, “brother, fear Allah, stop eating with your left hand This goes against the text” bruv my camera’s flipped Never mind, I’m not in the mood for that stress If it wasn’t for the undeserved guidance of Allah and my friends I would’ve probably been tryna get it in, and chase this money But the Prophet (Sallallahu 3lyhi wa sallam) said: المرء على دين خليله (One is upon the religion of his friends) (Almar'u 3la dyni khlylihi) So I gotta give thanks to my bro Billz, Stridez and 3bd Al-Ghani The last man standing, we used to roll 20 man deep walk into the masjid, now everybody’s stranded (x2) Fluctuating eman, inconsistent levels of belief You think you’ve hit rock bottom then you realise you’re more than beneath There’s a wisdom behind everything that I would love to share A man in the Prophet (sallllahu 3lyhi wa sallam), always used to say: لعل فيه خيرا (La3lla fyhi khyr) And that means maybe there is good in it There’s definitely good that Allah is trying to show Maybe that’s Allah tryna tell you to fix up and he’s making you realise your eman is low Your eman is low, you forgot Qur’an, your tajweed is bad, he can’t even pronounce the Ghunnah This could be Allah (Sub7anahu Wa Ta3ala) showing you that your eman fluctuates And is a praiseworthy characteristic from the Ahl us-Sunnah Don’t beat yourself too much, there’s always a wisdom You have to read between the lines cuz sometimes the asnwers are hidden I remember college times, I was happier than ever Life was so simple, and if I could go back, I would go back forever Partners for time, we were partners in crime Dunya gets in the way, now it’s inner peace that we’re both tryna find Now we have bigger questions, Allah’s tryna put me back on my feet I’m out here seeking redemption, while these girls are in my mentions It’s hard so sometimes brothers might slip And some people might shy away from the realness I don’t mind being the person, he will say it how it is It’s real man I got struggles But what do you do when you’re a lost soul all by yourself And you don’t even think about cuddles There’s deeper problems, there’s deeper issues A person who was once your backbone, could be the reason why you’re feeling pain in your cardiac tissues We need to start investing in our lives and do what makes us happy That’s what you call wealth And instead of contouring people’s struggles Why not shed light on the topic of mental health? Every man is a shepherd, you’re in charge of your flock So use your time wisely cuz one of the things that show heedlessness is Tadee3 ul-Waqt that’s the wasting of time And instead of making a person feel lower than they already are Then for that person why don’t you, make some time If you care for me, make du3a for me Make du3a that I enter Jannah Make du3a that I become a person of the Qur’an Make du3a that I carry the Qur’an in my heart and not just my palm Make du3a for my parents, make du3a for my family Make du3a for the Ummah and every oppressed soul whose facing a tragedy I’m out here, one man, all alone And if you’re coming with an ulterior motive then please don’t call my phone I won’t answer

been distancing myself from prayer and I can feel my faith getting weak, listening to this reminded me of the importance of being close to Allah SWT and to not let temptation fog up my judgment. thank you for this

Visuals are tooooo much!

I'm here three years later and when I say... when you mentioned salafiyyah... I become speechless. I wouldn't have ever come across Islam if it wasn't for this video. This video was the starter for me to seek ilm. I wouldn't have researched nor anything similar. I wouldn't have started studying fiqh and tawheed or wearing niqab nor anything such. Manners do reflect people and because of how he was online, I was inspired. May Allah bless you with khayr and reward ypu with all that do thst is good and forgive you. Wallahi... I would not be the person I I today, still need improvement, if I didn't watch this video three years ago. I feel so much happier in life. I feel liberated and loved by Allah. Barakallahu feeki

My prayers go out to all the Muslims struggling with there demons 🙏

Alhamdulilah I don’t listen to music anymore, my aim is memorise the Quran this year Inshallah. These are all signs from allah (swt) everyone’s dying one by one may Allah guide us all amen 🙏🏽 ❤️

This one reflects you very well my bro, very real. ‏اللهم بارك ❤️❤️❤️

the fluctuating eman , categories of tawheed , characteristics of the shahaba , wisdom of good companionship , tawba , mental health , importance of time , dua ... Baraka Allah feek for this reminder !! May Allah reward you and everyone that helped create this . (can't forget about that glass of coke)

Mashallah, you are the reason I got up and went to the masjid in years. I thank you so much for that brother ❤️❤️

0:55 - That Tawhīd & Salafiyyah reference though 🔥🔥🔥🔥

After 3yrs still can relate with this masterpiece🥺

“Fluctuating imaan” Yh I felt that like, may Allah make us all such that we can account for every minute of our days and still smile and be content

Wallah I saved this video in my playlist, because whenever I feel lost, I know what to watch. Thanks I needed this. And I’ll keep you and your family in my dua’s insha’Allah.

This is very deep & inspirational bro. Well done man this is quality. Allahumabarik!

When I lived in Yemen, there was an old neighbour of mine who used to recite a poem every Friday in a city basically where people came from around the world to learn deen. So every week he had a different message in his Rhymes. Some were funny, some were politics, some were reminders. Idk why but this reminded me of em. Thank you for the nostalgia and sick rhymes.

Who else can relate to this 😭😭 when u are very lost it’s hard to get back it’s hard to change ur life and ur friends but when u are sincere allah helps u with ur struggles. May Allah guide us all and keep us all on the straight path.

it's been a long time since I watched a video with a real meaning. thanks for reminding me of what really matters in this world.

Bro u need to release more nasheeds like this, your one of the very few nasheeds artists that can relate to the youth. May Allah reward you abundantly.

Always here during Ramadan❤

"The person who was once your backbone could be reason why your feeling pain in your Cardiac tissues"... Subhanallah that was deep 😢

Assalamuralaikum.. Wallah Akhi this strikes me a lot.. Few days back, I was talking with my mom about my struggles...I used to watch a lot of guys on KZfaq, I mean vlogs, now Alhamdulillah I've put a stop.. And I even unsubscribed to their channel, and you were among them.That's why I've not got any notifications about your videos.. Alhamdulillah just finished college, I'm trying to find my way AND Alhamdulillah Allah has blessed me to become a teacher in Madrassah, it's a good start Alhamdulillah.. THIS video reminds me of my life, what am I doing, is it good, am I pleasing Allah, am I obeying Allah and His Messenger??.. Keep it up with the reminders Akhi.. May Allah grant us all Jannatul Firdose

Finally someone that uses Rap to embrace Allah swt I feel blessed that I found this 🙏🏽

May Allah strengthen him and his family and take them Jannatul firdows al a'laa. Amiin.
