00:01.5
00:03.8
The drought was spreading through the earth.. Until the rain came.. In the form of a dulcet sound
00:04.1
00:05.5
*Clears throat*
00:07.6
00:15.2
"Allah is the greatest"
00:15.6
00:21.5
"Allah is the greatest"
00:22.7
00:25.3
Allah is the greatest..
00:25.4
00:29.6
Greater than everything the sun will rise on
00:30.1
00:34.5
Anyone who will soon walk
00:34.8
00:39.2
Every concern waiting for you down the roads
00:39.3
00:45.2
And greater than every fear trying to ambuscade you behind doors and corridors
00:45.5
00:54.9
“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah”
00:55.4
00:58.6
The testimony spoken by the atoms of sand
00:58.8
01:00.8
Water droplets
01:00.9
01:05.0
Birds, trees, and planets
01:05.1
01:08.2
And the testimony that the heartbeats spoke
01:08.6
01:12.0
Even if the oppressive piled his despotism on it
01:12.1
01:18.6
If prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) approached a fortress and heard these words, he would point to the swords of the Muslims, and they would be sheathed
01:18.8
01:21.9
Or he would race the sunshine with the glitter of those swords
01:22.4
01:26.0
It was the difference between light and darkness
01:26.2
01:28.6
Between good and evil
01:28.8
01:30.9
Between corruption and justice
01:31.2
01:33.2
It was a motto..
01:33.3
01:41.4
“I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”
01:41.7
01:45.4
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
01:45.9
01:48.5
The call that was not believed in between the mountains
01:48.7
01:50.1
Chased in the railways
01:50.5
01:52.5
Repressed in Mecca
01:52.8
01:56.3
And disrupted in the markets and fields
01:56.5
01:59.1
Here it is now, rising in the horizons
01:59.4
02:01.1
Carried by the atmospheres
02:01.2
02:03.7
Scattered by wind after wind
02:04.2
02:05.9
And as the call comes to an end in one side
02:06.1
02:11.0
It is raised again somewhere else
02:11.1
02:21.4
“Come to the prayer”
02:21.6
02:23.1
It tells the people:
02:23.3
02:27.7
Come, here iss what you have been eager to find..
02:28.2
02:33.5
A voice that saves the soul from the dirt, glamor, and splendor of this life
02:33.9
02:37.7
It passes through the buildings, towers and extravagance
02:38.1
02:43.0
And it steals its glamor and splendor, so you go back not wanting or desiring it anymore..
02:44.0
02:46.8
Here is what dried your mouth while trying to look for it..
02:47.7
02:49.7
“Come to the prayer"
02:49.9
02:51.2
"Come to the ultimate success”
02:51.4
03:03.4
“Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest”
03:03.9
03:05.4
Allah is the greatest..
03:05.7
03:08.0
It comes out of our throats
03:08.2
03:11.6
So that it can fill the universe with the odor of basils
03:12.0
03:13.3
Allah is your god
03:13.7
03:16.1
And this beautiful tender call
03:16.8
03:18.9
That pats your shoulder
03:19.4
03:21.0
Sweeps off your chest
03:21.2
03:23.7
And removes the paleness of your face
03:24.1
03:28.3
When it reminds you that Allah - your god - is greater than everything..
03:28.6
03:42.5
"There is no god but Allah"
