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’.
In January 2009, Maher Zain signed up and began working on an album with Awakening Records. Maher’s debut album Thank You Allah reached the number 1 spot on Amazon.com World Music charts and number 9 on the R&B charts.
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.”
Maher Zain announced that he had released a Malay version for "Insha Allah", having released French and Arabic version along with videos already, while adding that it would be a track on his second album.
Maher has now commenced working on his new studio album which will be released in April 2011. No title has yet been announced. Maher sang a portion of a song from the album without backing music in a morning talk show slot at Malaysia's television channel, TV9. Maher explained that the song, a dedication to his mother, would be a "happy" song, as opposed to the usual songs dedicated to mothers that "are sad, and you want to cry listening to those."
great singer ever :)
Fadly from the Indonesian band Padi is also contributing to "For The Rest Of My Life" in Bahasa Indonesia. It will be released through Sony Music Indonesia.
Palestine Will Be Free
Maher Zain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this day will be
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
'Cause your soul will always be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine tomorrow will be free

Every day we tell each other
We constantly reassure ourselves
That this day will be
That this present day will come to an end
Will be the last and tomorrow
And the coming day will bring freedom and peace
We all can go home free
We will be able to return to our homes without fear
And all this will finally end
The violence and oppression will soon be over
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine will soon be free from injustice and occupation
No mother, no father to wipe away my tears
There is no one to comfort and console me in times of sadness
That's why I won't cry
However, I will remain strong in the face of adversity
I feel scared but I won't show my fears
I may be afraid, but I won't let it show
I keep my head high
I will maintain my dignity and pride
Deep in my heart I never have any doubt
I am certain in my belief
That Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine will soon gain its freedom and sovereignty
I saw those rockets and bombs shining in the sky
I witnessed the destruction and devastation of war
Like drops of rain in the sun's light
The explosives and weapons illuminated the sky
Taking away everyone dear to my heart
Loved ones were lost and taken away
Destroying my dreams in a blink of an eye
Aspirations and goals were shattered in moments
What happened to our human rights?
The dignity and values of humanity were violated
What happened to the sanctity of life?
The preciousness and worth of life were disrespected
And all those other lies?
Other falsehoods and deceptions were spread
I know that I'm only a child
Though I am young and inexperienced
But is your conscience still alive?
I question the moral integrity of others
I will caress with my bare hands
I will touch and cherish every aspect of Palestine
Every precious grain of sand
Every bit of land and every component within it is valuable
Every stone, and every tree
The natural resources and environment are precious
'Cause no matter what they do
Despite the onslaught and injustice brought upon us
They can never hurt you
Our freedom and spirit can never be destroyed
'Cause your soul will always be free
Our innermost selves will never be under their dominion
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine will soon rise above the suffering and achieve freedom
Palestine tomorrow will be free
Palestine will soon reclaim its status as a self-determined, independent nation

اللّهم اهدِنا فيمَن هَديْت
و عافِنا فيمَن عافيْت
و تَوَلَّنا فيمَن تَوَلَّيْت
و بارِك لَنا فيما أَعْطَيْت
و قِنا واصْرِف عَنَّا شَرَّ ما قَضَيت
سُبحانَك تَقضي ولا يُقضى عَليك
انَّهُ لا يَذِّلُّ مَن والَيت وَلا يَعِزُّ من عادَيت تَبارَكْتَ رَبَّنا وَتَعالَيْت
فَلَكَ الحَمدُ يا الله عَلى ما قَضَيْت
وَلَكَ الشُّكرُ عَلى ما أَنْعَمتَ بِهِ عَلَينا وَأَوْلَيت
نَستَغفِرُكَ يا رَبَّنا مِن جمَيعِ الذُّنوبِ والخَطايا ونَتوبُ اليك
وَنُؤمِنُ بِكَ ونَتَوَكَّلُ عَليك
و نُثني عَليكَ الخَيرَ كُلَّه
أَنتَ الغَنِيُّ ونحَنُ الفُقَراءُ اليك
أَنتَ الوَكيلُ ونحَنُ المُتَوَكِّلونَ عَلَيْك
أَنتَ القَوِيُّ ونحَنُ الضُّعفاءُ اليك
أَنتَ العَزيزُ ونحَنُ الأَذِلاَّءُ اليك
اللّهم يا واصِل المُنقَطِعين أَوصِلنا اليك
اللّهم هَب لنا مِنك عملا صالحاً يُقربُنا اليك
اللّهم استُرنا فوق اللأرضِ وتحت الأرضِ و يوم العرضِ عليك
أحسِن وُقوفَنا بين يديك
لا تُخزِنا يوم العرضِ عليك
اللّهم أَحسِن عاقِبتَنا في الأُمورِكُلها
و أجِرْنا من خِزيِ الدنيا وعذابِ الآخرة
اللهم آمين

Palestina será livre
Cada dia que dizer um ao outro
Que este dia vai ser a última
E amanhã todos nós podemos ir para casa livre
E tudo isso vai finalmente acabar
amanhã Palestina será livre
amanhã Palestina será livre
Nenhuma mãe nem pai para enxugar minhas lágrimas
Por isso que eu não vou chorar
eu sinto medo, mas eu não vou mostrar meus medos
Eu mantenho minha cabeça erguida
No fundo do meu coração eu nunca tenho qualquer dúvida
que amanhã Palestina será livre
amanhã Palestina será livre
vi aqueles foguetes e bombas brilhando no céu
como gotas de chuva na luz do sol
Tirando querido de todos ao meu coração
Destruindo meus sonhos em um piscar de olhos
O que aconteceu com os nossos direitos humanos?
O que aconteceu com a santidade da vida?
E todas essas mentiras? Outros
Eu sei que eu sou apenas uma criança
Mas é a sua consciência ainda está vivo
vou acariciar com minhas próprias mãos
Cada grão precioso de areia
pedra Cada e toda a árvore
Porque não importa o que eles fazem
Eles nunca podem te machucar
Coz sua alma vai ser sempre livre
amanhã Palestina será livre
amanhã Palestina será livre
( Linda e emocionante canção que retrata a vida diária de um povo massacrado, sofrido mas que tem dignidade. Que Deus ajude com a paz, a liberdade para palestina livrando-os das mãos sanguinárias israelenses )
