“Is He Satisfied?” – (Nasheed by Maher Zain)

Oftentimes, we get carried away by our actions, getting obsessed with life and its frivolities, we forget to check if Allah (SWT) is indeed satisfied with our actions and deeds. This is an interesting nasheed by Maher Zain!

LYRICS

We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied

We bought and bought
We couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor
We couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact, to ourselves we’re just lying

Oh, I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselvesI’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we’d bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
We made show, we were seen in the most exclusive shops
Yes, we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn’t have any time to lose when we were (Were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became individuals without a soul
Despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us feel satisfiedMy dear brother and sister
It’s time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes when there’s nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah’s watching you
Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?Oh, I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselvesI’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
