Music and Lyrics: Marvin Dreyer
Here's a way of counting our daily Allah'u'abhá.
D A
D A
Each day we repeat the
Greatest Name
D A
D
E7
95 times, to God we
proclaim.
D E A D
But how to keep track, it
distracts us to count,
A D A E7
A
Here’s how to ensure we’ve fulfilled
the amount.
D A D A
Look down at your fingers,
most of us have ten.
D
A D E7
Count 3 times 3 on each of
them.
D E A
D
You’re now up to ninety so
what’s left to do?
A D A
E7 A
Five points of the star that’s
shining on you.
D A D
A
But before beginning, wash
hands and face.
D
A D
E7
Ablutions lead to a purified
state.
D E
A D
Find where to be seated,
alone and apart,
A
D
A E7
A
Clearing the mind, and
you're ready to start.
D
A D A
Allah’u’abhá, ninety-five times
out loud
D A
D
E7
Claim the hidden gifts with
which it’s been endowed.
D
E
A D
And this way of counting
with ten groups of 3’s
A D
A E7 A
Allows us to pray and puts
us at ease.
