O, Allah, Tell Me What Did I Do Today

The best song ever .. by Dawud Wharnsby Ali 



Oh the moon has come, the day is done, 
The night has covered up the sun, 
I have stood so often before you to pray, 
But I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today? 

Did I remember the words of Al-Fatihah? 
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have? 
Did I call on you to guide my way? 
Tell me what did I do today? 

I have whispered to you as I made Ruku' 
Subhana Rabey'y al Adheem. 
But was my faith bright or grey? 
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today? 

Did I smile at my brother? 
Was I kind to my mother? 
Did I teach another something that I know? 
Or did my love of this world lead me astray? 
Tell me what did I do today? 

Sami Allah hu liman hamida 
Rabbana LakalHamd. 
Sami Allah hu liman hamida 
Rabbana LakalHamd. 

Though I've bowed to you with my face in the dust, 
Subhana Raby'y al A`la
Did I turn to you and did I obey ? 
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today? 

Did I use my time? 
Did I use my mind? 
If I search my heart what will I find? 
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray, 
Tell me, what did I do today? 
Oh Allah,
What did I do today?
