Yeah I know, maybe most of us already know who Maher Zain is. But what the heck..
Maher’s first musical inspiration came from his father, who was a singer himself, performing locally in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Tripoli – Lebanon. Fascinated by the music and instruments, Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten and ever since music officially became part of Maher’s world.
The family moved to Sweden when Maher was only 8, where he continued his schooling, and later entered university and got a Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering. With things changing around him, one thing remained the same – his strong passion for music. He would spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. It didn’t take him long to realize that music became an integral part of who he is.
After being involved for a while in the music scene in Sweden as a music producer, Maher was introduced to RedOne, a gifted music producer who was fast rising in the music scene in Sweden. Maher started working with RedOne with Swedish artists, and later moved with him to New York. For a few years he was in the middle of the hot rush of the NY music industry, working with chart topping artists such as Kat Deluna on her debut album which included smash hits ‘Whine up’ and ‘Run the Show’.
Maher had what many would describe as a dream job for someone so young in such a glamorous business, but for Maher it felt like this was far from what he would call ‘the dream’, “I loved the music but I hated everything that surrounded it, it always felt like something wasn’t right”. RedOne was on the verge of breaking into the big time, going on to work with artists like Akon, Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Brandy, New Kids on the Block, and Michael Jackson to mention just a few, and becoming one of the most sought-after music producers in the world. Maher however was restless and eventually decided that the music industry and all that surrounded wasn’t the right place for him and he returned to Sweden. It wasn’t until he met a group of brothers who were active in the Islamic community in Stockholm and he started regularly attending his local mosque that he felt like he’d reached ‘home’.
Maher feels blessed to able to finally find the right way, and feels like it’s his turn now to help others through his music to do the same: “If I had one thing I’d like to tell people out there it would be that it’s so easy to see the right way if we just open our eyes and look properly; that’s what happened to me.”
This is Maher Zain’s message to his fans:
Quote :
Alhamdulillah, I’ve finished the recording of the album so I’m taking some time off and travelling. The album is in the final stages of mixing and mastering and will be ready in a couple of weeks inshallah. Remember me in your du’as.
Hope admin don't mind multipost.

If you ask me about love And wanna know about it I am so pleased It's everything about Allah The pure love, to our soul The creator of you and me,the heaven and whole universe The ONE that made us all And HE's the guardian of HIS true believers
So when the time is hard There's no way to turn As HE promise HE will always be there To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there HE's always watching us, guiding us And HE knows what's in all in our heart
So when you lose your way To Allah you should turn As HE promise HE will always be there...
HE bring ourselves from the darkness into the light Subhanallah praise belongs to YOU for everything Shouldn't never feel afraid of anything As long as we follow HIS guidance all the way Through the short time we have in this life Soon it all'll be over And we'll be in His heaven and we'll all be fine
So when the time gets hard There's no way to turn As HE promise He will always be there To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there HE's always watching us, guiding us And HE knows what's in all in our heart
So when you lose your way To Allah you should turn As HE promise HE will always be there...
Allahu Akbar (many times)
So when the time gets hard There's no way to turn As HE promise He will always be there To bless us with HIS love and HIS mercy Coz, as HE promise HE will always be there HE's always watching us, guiding us And he knows what's in all in our heart
So when you lose your way To Allah you should turn As HE promise HE will always be there...
Everytime you feel like you cannot go on You feel so lost That your so alone All you is see is night And darkness all around You feel so helpless You can’t see which way to go Don’t despair and never loose hope Cause Allah is always by your side
Insha Allah x3 Insya Allah you’ll find your way
Everytime you can make one more mistake You feel you can’t repent And that its way too late Your’re so confused, wrong decisions you have made Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame
Don’t despair and never loose hope Cause Allah is always by your side Insha Allah x3 Insya Allah you’ll find your way Insha Allah x3 Insya Allah you’ll find your way
Turn to Allah He’s never far away Put your trust in Him Raise your hands and pray OOO Ya Allah Guide my steps don’t let me go astray You’re the only one that showed me the way, Showed me the way x2 Insha Allah x3 Insya Allah we’ll find the way
Every day we tell each other That this day will be the last And tomorrow we all can go home free And all this will finally end Palestine tomorrow will be free Palestine tomorrow will be free
No mother no father to wipe away my tears That’s why I won’t cry I feel scared but I won’t show my fears I keep my head high
Deep in my heart I never have any doubt That Palestine tomorrow will be free Palestine tomorrow will be free
I saw those rockets and bombs shining in the sky Like drops of rain in the sun’s light Taking away everyone dear to my heart Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye
What happened to our human rights? What happened to the sanctity of life?
And all those other lies? I know that I’m only a child But is your conscience still alive
I will caress with my bare hands Every precious grain of sand Every stone and every tree ‘Cause no matter what they do They can never hurt you Coz your soul will always be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free Palestine tomorrow will be free
Look around yourselves Can’t you see this wonder Spreaded infront of you The clouds floating by The skies are clear and blue Planets in the orbits The moon and the sun Such perfect harmony
Let’s start question in ourselves Isn’t this proof enough for us Or are we so blind To push it all aside.. No..
We just have to Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds If we just look bright to see the signs We can’t keep hiding from the truth Let it take us by surprise Take us in the best way (Allah..) Guide us every single day.. (Allah..) Keep us close to You Until the end of time..
Look inside yourselves Such a perfect order Hiding in yourselves Running in your veins What about anger love and pain And all the things you’re feeling Can you touch them with your hand? So are they really there?

When a baby’s born So helpless and weak And you’re watching him growing.. So why deny Whats in front of your eyes The biggest miracle of life..
We just have to Open our eyes, our hearts, and minds If we just look quiet we’ll see the signs We can’t keep hiding from the truth Let it take us by surprise Take us in the best way (Allah..) Guide us every single day.. (Allah..) Keep us close to You Until the end of time..

Let's raise our hands and make Do'a Like the Prophet taught us And with one voice Let's all say, say, say
بارك الله لكما وبارك عليكما وجمع بينكما في خير
بارك الله بارك الله لكم ولنا
الله بارك لهما الله أدم حبهما الله صلّي وسلّم على رسول الله
الله تب علينا الله ارض عنا الله اهد خطانا على سنة نبينا
Let's raise our hands and make Do'a Like the Prophet taught us And with one voice Let's all say, say, say
Allah hi Allah kia kero dukh na kisi ko diya kero jo duniya ka malik hai naam ussi ka liya kero
Allah hi Allah
Allah hi Allah kia kero Dukh na kisi ko diya kero Jo duniya ka malik hai Naam ussi ka liya kero
Allah hi Allah
Just like a sunrise can't be denied Oh, just like the river will find the sea O Allah, You're here and You're always near And I know without a doubt That You always hear my prayer
Sach ki raah pe chala kero. Dukh na kisi ko diya kero Jo duniya ka malik hai Naam ussi ka liya kero
Allah hi Allah
Allah hi Allah kia kero Dukh na kisi ko diya kero J duniya ka malik hai Naam ussi ka liya kero
Allah hi Allah
So many bright stars Like diamonds in the sky Oh, it makes me wonder How anyone can be blind To all the signs so clear Just open your eyes And I know without a doubt You will surly see the light
aisa zulm na kia kero dukh na kisi ko diya kero jo duniya ka malik hai naam ussi ka liya kero
Allah hi Allah
Allah hi Allah kia kero Dukh na kisi ko diya kero Jo duniya ka malik hai Naam ussi ka liya kero
Subhana Allah سبحان الله سبحانك ربي سبحانك سبحانك ما أعظم شأنك ندعوك ونرجوا غفرانك
Maher: As I traveled through the earth I can't help but notice The symphony I hear all around from the smallest grain of sand to the faraway planets to a flower put in roots in the ground Every bird in the sky Every rock and every raindrop Says as it falls from the clouds every ant, every plant every breeze and all the seas They all sing
سبحانك ربي سبحانك سبحانك ما أعظم شأنك
ندعوك ونرجوا غفرانك
Mesut: جل الله بكل كون الله ألمح نور الله وذكر ربي في دقات قلبي يهتف بسم الله خلق الله صنع الله ما أبهاه والأكوان تسبح بسم الله جل الله في علاه يا رباه يا رحمن الله
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 'cause 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 ourselves
We were told what to buy and we'd bought We went to London, Paris and We made show we were seen in the most exlusive 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
We became the visuals 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 satisfied
My 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 ourselves
