Dawah | دعوة

[Chorus: Omar Esa]
They wanna know about Islam
We'll give them dawah
They wanna know what a Muslim does
We'll give them dawah
When they wanna hate on our deen
We'll give them dawah
Who's the one and only?
Nobody but Allah

[Verse 1: Omar Esa]
Let me break it down right now for you
See Dawah is a call to you
It's an invitation to change your life
Calling you to see the truth
Back in the day I was living a lie
I was lost deep inside
Then I got another chance with my life
I was guided back to Islam

[Chorus: Omar Esa]
They wanna know about Islam
We'll give them dawah
They wanna know what a Muslim does
We'll give them dawah
When they wanna hate on our deen
We'll give them dawah
Who's the one and only?
Nobody but Allah

[Verse 2: Omar Esa]
What is the benefit of hanging in the streets
Acting bad like you wanna run the scene
You're getting nothing from that empty life you lead
Come to Islam you'll find your inner peace
No champagne
We don't rave
We're on the real hype
We just pray
When akhis link up
We be drinking Zamzam, Mint tea
Talking 'bout our deen
And having our fun
See these rappers don't wanna run out of bars
But we don't wanna run out of imaan

[Chorus: Omar Esa]
They wanna know about Islam
We'll give them dawah
They wanna know what a Muslim does
We'll give them dawah
When they wanna hate on our deen
We'll give them dawah
Who's the one and only?
Nobody but Allah

[Verse 3: Muslim Belal]
They call me Muslim Belal
I guess that makes me a terrorist
But when them bullets went pow
I was guiding youths like a therapist
Now they go 'round dropping them bombs
Tell them not in my name
They wanna run around killing daughters and sons
Tell them not in my name
If this world wants someone to point the finger at
They can point the finger at us
Yeah, it's cool, don't worry we're used to it
Saw what they done to sisters on the bus
'02, joined the religion of peace
But walking these streets today is rough
I just kill 'em with silence, react with kindness
Watching the violence, they keep up
You see they slander us in the tabloids
Slander us on TV as well
Someone please tell me
How Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world
'Cause you can't find the truth 'fore the battle concludes
From a war of good against evil
And they spread it on the news
But you know the truth
We don't believe those people
Yeah, see we came from nothing
Just a ghetto child from South London
We spent many days back then, shooting
Then Allah came 'round recruiting
Yeah in this we found wisdom
Separate one's self from the system
Stop running 'round chasing illusions
Caught up in your temporary amusement

[Bridge: Omar Esa]
We pray 5 times a day
We give in charity
We fast in Ramadan
Hajj is our pilgrimage
We say there's no God but Allah
And Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his final messenger
The ones on deen know it's a sacrifice
But it's a small price to pay for all the rewards
We'll get from Allah
In Sha Allah

[Chorus: Omar Esa]
They wanna know about Islam
We'll give them dawah
They wanna know what a Muslim does
We'll give them dawah
When they wanna hate on our deen
We'll give them dawah
Who's the one and only?
Nobody but Allah
