COUNTING TO 95

 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.
