Sekilas tentang Maher Zain
Maher Zain lahir 16 Maret 1981, dia adalah penyanyi R&B Swedia. Dia juga tinggal untuk sementara di Amerika Serikat. Album debutnya "Thank You Allah" dengan 13 lagu dan dua lagu bonus dirilis pada 1 November 2009, dengan Versi Perkusi eksklusif dan Versi Perancis dirilis tak lama kemudian. Dia bernyanyi terutama dalam bahasa Inggris, namun juga, antara lain, dalam bahasa Prancis, Arab, Urdu, Turki dan Melayu.
Sejak kecil Maher Zain memang sangat mengagumi musik, dan di usianya yang ke 10, Maher kecil sudah mampu menguasai keyboard. Musik yang di bawakan oleh Maher Zain terinspirasi oleh sang ayah yang juga seorang musisi handal di kota Tripoli, Libanon
Bakat musik Maher Zain telah terlihat semenjak ia masih muda dengan menjadi produser musik di Swedia. Namun menurut Maher, dunia musik yang ia geluti yang menawarkan banyak kemewahan membuat ia merasa ada yang kurang, dan bahkan ada yang salah. “Saya sangat mencintai dunia musik, namun saya tidak menyukai hal-hal yang ada di sekilingnya, seperti ada yang salah dengan hal ini.”
Pada akhirnya Maher menemukan jawaban dari keraguannya dalam bermusik setelah ia bertemu dan tergabung dalam komunitas Muslim yang ada di Stockholm. Semenjak itu Maher pun mulai aktif dalam kegiatan-kegiatan yang dilakukan di masjid dan Ia merasa di sinilah arti sebuah rumah baginya.
Maher merasa bersyukur akhirnya dapat menemukan cara yang tepat, dan Ia merasa sekarang gilirannya untuk membantu orang lain melalui musik untuk melakukan hal yang sama, “Jika aku punya satu hal yang mana aku ingin sampaikan kepada orang di luar sana, bahwa sangatlah mudah untuk melihat jalan yang benar jika kita hanya membuka mata dan melihat dengan benar, itu yang terjadi padaku. “
Ini nih lirik lagu Maher Zain yang paling aku suka, dan beberapa lagu ini pun aku jadikan lagu pengiring disaat resepsi pernikahan ku loh.. :D

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
I praise Allah for sending me you my love
You found me home and sail with me
And I`m here with you
Now let me let you know
You`ve opened my heart
I was always thinking that love was wrong
But everything was changed when you came along
OOOOO
And theres a couple words I want to say
Chorus:
For the rest of my life
I`ll be with you
I`ll stay by your side honest and true
Till the end of my time
I`ll be loving you.loving you
For the rest of my life
Through days and night
I`ll thank Allah for open my eyes
Now and forever I…I`ll be there for you
I know that deep in my heart
I feel so blessed when I think of you
And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You`re my wife and my friend and my strength
And I pray we`re together in jannah
Now I find myself so strong
Everything changed when you came along
OOOO
And theres a couple word I want to say
*Repeat Chorus
I know that deep in my heart now that you`re here
Infront of me I strongly feel love
And I have no doubt
And I`m singing loud that I`ll love you eternally
Repeat Chorus
I know that deep in my heart..
THANK YOU ALLAH
I was so far from you
Yet to me you were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes toward the signs
You put in my way
I walked everyday
further and further away from you
Ooooo Allah, you brought me home
I thank you with every breath I take
الحمد لله الحمد لله
All praises to Allah
I never thought about
All the things you have given to me
I never thanked you once
I was too proud
to see the truth
And prostrate to you
Until I took the first step
And that's when you opened the doors for me
Now Allah, I realized what I was missing
By being far from you
الحمد لله
All praises to Allah
Allah, I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you for all the things that you've done
You've done for me through all my years I've been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
And did you give me hope
O Allah, I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you for all the things that you've done
You've done for me through all my years I've been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I wanna thank you for bringing me home
الحمد لله
All praises to Allah
الحمد لله
HOLD MY HAND
I hear the flower's kinda crying loud
The breeze's sound is sad
Oh no...
Tell me when did we become
So cold and empty inside
Lost a way long time ago
Did we really turn that blind
We don't see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon
Why don't we share the same love
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we`ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let's pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you
Hold my hand....
Children seem like they've lost their smile
On the new blooded playgrounds
Oh no...
How could we ignore
heartbreaking crying sounds
And we're still going on
Like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain because
Like it's a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon
Why don't we share the same love
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we`ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let's pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you
No matter how far I might be
I'm always gonne be your neighbour
There's only one small planet where to be
So I'm always gonna be your neighbour
We cannot hide, we can't deny
That we're always gonna be neighbours
Your neighbour, my neighbour
We're neighbours
So hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what have left behind
So hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we`ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We can save the good spirit of me and you
For another chance
And let's pray for a beautiful world
A beautiful world I share with you
INSYAALLAH
Everytime you feel like you cannot go on
You feel so lost
That your so alone
All you is see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless
You can’t see which way to go
Don’t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side
Insha Allah x3
Insya Allah you’ll find your way
Everytime you can make one more mistake
You feel you can’t repent
And that its way too late
Your’re so confused, wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame
Don’t despair and never loose hope
Cause Allah is always by your side
Insha Allah x3
Insya Allah you’ll find your way
Insha Allah x3
Insya Allah you’ll find your way
Turn to Allah
He’s never far away
Put your trust in Him
Raise your hands and pray
OOO Ya Allah
Guide my steps don’t let me go astraYou’re the only one that showed me
the way,
Showed me the way x2
Insha Allah x3
Insya Allah we’ll find the way
