Please read the lyrics.

Lyrics for Mercy to Mankind

Mawlaya Salli Wassalim da-Iman Abadan Ala Habi Bika Khairil Khalqi Kullimi (2x) (O my Lord send peace and blessings upon your Beloved (PBUH) The best of all creations).

Have you read about the time, he stepped from his house, There was trash at his door Calmly he gathered the trash that was scattered, But every day there was more. But one day it was missing, so he went to visit the neighbor he thought was ill The neighbor, amazed at the kindness displayed Despite all the trash he would spill.

Or what about the time when he came to a town, in hope of spreading this word But the leaders sent the children to chase and to stone him Till he was bleeding and hurt. But he was given the choice, that this town be destroyed But our Prophet refused He said "I hope for the children, will one day be given this guidance, the light they will choose".

[Chorus] He was a mercy, a mercy, to all of mankind He was a mercy, a mercy, to all of mankind He was Rahmatan, Rahmatan, lilalameen, He was Rahmatan, Rahmatan, lilalameen.

Did you hear about the time, he saw a bird in distress Her young ones were taken away He ordered the man to return all of them And taught not treat them this way

Or what about the time, he was given some lamb, by this lady one time As he started to eat, he was warned of the meat, the lady put poison inside. When they brought her to him, he asked her the truth She admitted to what she had done But despite her behavior, the prophet forgave her His kindness would shine like the sun.

So many stories, his justice his mercy He grace we all can see At conquest of Mecca, the foes who had fought him he said, "you all be free, be free".

[chorus]

Lately people saying, stuff about my Prophet They see our numbers rising, so they make him a target, Agitate the Muslims, get money in their pocket We just work to spread the truth and make sure people got it.

Like how he treated neighbors with all the love and care, Examples that he gave us, to be honest and fair How to be forgiving, respecting every faith Giving rights to the women, at war how to behave The women and the children and every innocent Should be protected no matter how oppressed we get So we know they're saying stuff about the Prophet that ain't true They did that at the prophets time so this ain't nothing new

Did he worry what the people said after he passed Or was he more concerned about us doing what he asked Do our deeds, tell the story of the man he was A Mercy to Mankind, lets show the world his love.

[chorus]

Mawlaya Salli Wassalim da-Iman Abadan Ala Habi Bika Khairil Khalqi Kullimi (O my Lord send peace and blessings upon your Beloved (PBUH) The best of all creations).
