Sourat Al Kahf
Sheikh Abdul Basset Abdel Samad Lyrics

The lyrics are the opening lines of Sheikh Abdul Basset Abdel Samad's interpretation of Surat Al-Kahf, the 18th chapter of the Holy Quran. The opening phrase, "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim", translates to "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate." The next line, "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alamin," translates to "All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds." In these two lines, the singer expresses his gratitude and devotion to Allah, and recognizes Him as the source of all blessings and goodness.

The next line, "Maliki yawm ad-din," translates to "Owner of the Day of Judgment." By acknowledging Allah as the owner of the Day of Judgment, the singer expresses his belief in the afterlife and the ultimate accountability for our deeds. The following line, "Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in," translates to "You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help." This line emphasizes the importance of worshiping Allah alone and seeking help only from Him.

In the final lines, "Ihdinas-siratal mustaqeem, siratal-latheena an'amta 'alayhim, ghayril-maghdubi 'alayhim walad-dallin," the singer implores Allah to guide him and his fellow believers to the straight path, the path of those whom Allah has favored, and to protect them from the path of those who have earned His anger or gone astray.
