Native Deen has kindly released a FREE single to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, as well an accompanying video for everyone to enjoy, mashAllah. There will also be a remix available shortly, InshAllah.

About “Ramadan is Here”

One of their group members, Abdul-Malik Ahmad explains:
“We try to provide a fun, enjoyable music alternative to Muslims who wish to be true to their American identity, but want to follow the tenants of their religion. In the video, we travel around the world meeting Muslims of different ethnicities and enjoy the unity and sense of brotherhood that Ramadan brings. In the end, however, we all come together to an American mosque based in Sterling, VA to showcase the new Muslim American culture that is emerging rapidly.”

Native Deen - Ramadan is Here

English Lyrics (and translations) »

Translations:
Arabic

Urdu

[Chorus]
Ramadan is Here (4x)

Yo they sighted the moon, its Ramadan! Now I gotta plan, before it’s come and gone
Getting close to Allah, spend a lot of time. Check the condition of my heart, like a sonogram

Uh… Everybody knows that we gotta fast. But does everybody know how the time is passed?
Is it sleeping all day and the night’s a blast? And forgetting the reward of the month is vast?

I know you gonna wake-up, right. Drinking water maybe bean-pie, praying at sunrise….
Fast in the day, keeping that deen tight. Breaking fast with some dates, taraweeh at night

Alright… it’s a blessed month. It doesn’t mean at iftar, that you can’t have fun,
But strive in your heart, for your Lord the one… And be blessed by Allah, when the month is done.

[Chorus]

Four minutes left, Mom busts in the door, like… Get yourself up, you about to miss Suhur
Turkey bacon on the plate but I’m beefing. I’m up here sleeping, when they’re down here eating.

Scenes like this, it makes me reminisce what it meant growing up with Ramadan as a kid.
My homie’s buying up the corner store. Now or later, quarter waters,
We break at eight but its quarter to four.

They got jokes, like oh yeah he’s fasting. Something about blessings, heaven everlasting
Asking like the Feds up on me, “But dude, let me ask you for real, is you hungry?”

A hunger for the day when the sins on my slate be as empty as the food on my plate.
And if you got jokes, man here is a taste. Take a little fasters breath to the face.

[Chorus]

Ramadan vibrations, more donations. Dinner invitations, many supplications
Good behavior means better reputations. Don’t start nothing, no provocations

No fighting no argumentation. From the fitna and the drama, take a vacation
Mosque is packed with a huge congregation. Some just come as an annual visitation

Some just come for the hum of the recitation. Memorization of revelation,
Less temptation, with more contemplation. Getting ready for the Eid celebration

Shake a lot of hands giving salutations, Salaam Alaykums, peace upon the nation
The world is one, forget the segregation. Another Ramadan congratulations!!
