Sakina - Native Deen

Coming home in the evening, each day much on my mind

Fast pace of living in the West, with such little time

Cars and folks yell at me, everybody making me spin

We know we gotta' have patience, so we hold it within

Stress, doctors say it makes a brother sick and I know this is true

So I call out to my Lord each day to please help me through

Then when I come and I see my daughter’s face so bright

With smiles there to great me at the door, like a beautiful light

I can only thank Allah for this blessing on me

For giving me Sakina, this tranquility!

When Allah sends His Sakina on me, how do I feel?

It’s like peace inside my heart and I know that it’s real

When Allah sends His Sakina on me, how do I feel?

It’s like peace inside my heart and I know that it’s real

Allah knows that people in the past had it harder than me

Allah saw the evil hearted men with no mercy

Allah felt the hearts of the Muslims as they came near

Allah sent His tranquility and they lost all their fear

Cause Allah says if you trust Him and you truly have faith

Allah sends His Sakina and He showers His grace

How?

Maybe as a peaceful rest, a long needed sleep

How?

Maybe as a cloud up high with shade from the heat

How?

Maybe as a loving wife that gives you her light

How?

Maybe as your daughter with her smile so bright

When Allah sends His Sakina on me, how do I feel?

It’s like peace inside my heart and I know that it’s real

When Allah sends His Sakina on me, how do I feel?

It’s like peace inside my heart and I know that it’s real
