I’ve decided to write another nasheed about the current situation in Palestine. Anyone who isn’t aware of what’s going on please read my previous blogs, More than just a slogan and The Hypocrisy of apartheid in the media. For those of you who don’t know a Nasheed is a work of vocal music that is either sung acapella or accompanied by percussion instruments such as the daf. In general, Islamic nasheeds do not contain lamellaphone instruments. The material and lyrics of a nasheed usually make reference to Islamic beliefs, history, and religion, as well as current events. This Nasheed is a cover of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” which has been sung by so many artists but I particularly like the version sung by Avril Lavigne. I am looking to get this recorded so any Nasheed artists out there please feel free to get in touch.
This Ramadan they went into Al-Aqsa
How can they call this a war?
This land they’re taking they have no right to
And it’s leaving Palestine at Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Mashallah, they’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
My brothers and sisters are knocking on Junnah’s door
My brother you can hear the guns shooting
Yet you still bow your head to the floor
The noor on your face is shining so brightly
As you’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Mashallah, they’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
My brothers and sisters are knocking on Junnah’s door
Today a sister can’t stop crying
It’s her son the troops came for
All he did is went for Taraweeh
Now he’s waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Mashallah, they’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
My brothers and sisters are knocking on Junnah’s door
A child of 10 is so tired
His parents are on the hospital floor
The oldest child of four siblings
While his parents wait to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Mashallah, they’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
My brothers and sisters are knocking on Junnah’s door
Brothers and sisters it’s up to us
To tell Israel now no more
And if they won’t listen we’ll make them hear us
We won’t stop until they hear our roars
Free Palestine
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Mashallah, they’re waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
Waiting to knock on Junnah’s door
My brothers and sisters are knocking on Junnah’s door
