CRY OF THE UMMAH
(Eid al-Adha Peace Anthem)
Afro-Islamic Conscious Orchestra Nasheed
---
INTRO – Spoken Word
(Soft piano • distant wind • low cello • faint Adhan ambience)
🎙️
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim…
Another Eid approaches…
Yet the earth trembles beneath the sound of war.
Children sleep hungry beneath broken skies…
Mothers wrap pain inside silent prayers…
And powerful men shake hands while humanity bleeds.
This was never the meaning of sacrifice…
---
SOFT VOCAL OPENING
(Solo vocal – emotional and fragile)
🎵
Eid is coming…
But the world still cries…
Smoke in the heavens…
Tears in innocent eyes…
Ya Allah hear us…
The weak are losing hope…
Mercy is fading…
While the rich men tighten ropes…
🎵

VERSE 1
(Afro percussion enters softly)
🎵
From Gaza’s shattered buildings to the deserts stained in pain,
Every bomb that falls on children falls on all of us again,
Little hands search through the rubble where their schools once used to stand,
Tiny voices asking questions no child should understand.
Refugees with broken futures cross the borders night and day,
While leaders hold their conferences so very far away,
Tell me how a child is guilty for the wars they never chose?
How can flowers ever blossom where only hatred grows?
🎵

PRE-CHORUS
(Strings begin rising)
🎵
Eid al-Adha teaches mercy…
Sacrifice and faith…
Not the slaughter of the helpless…
Not the politics of hate…
🎵
---
MAIN HOOK / CHORUS
(FULL choir + orchestra + Afro drums)
🎵
Put the guns down…
Let the children smile again…
One world… one love…
Let the mercy never end…
Peace… Salaam…
Peace… Salaam…
Allah made us all as one…
Why do we divide again?
Put the guns down…
Hear the crying of the weak…
No mother should bury her child…
Before the child can even speak…
🎵
Choir Ad-libs
🎵
“Ya Salaam…”
“Mercy over fire…”
“One Ummah… one humanity…”
🎵

VERSE 2
(Beat deepens • emotional Afro bassline)
🎵
Iran fears tomorrow while Israel mourns today,
Every side keeps counting losses while humanity fades away,
Religion is not hatred — no true faith destroys the weak,
Every prophet stood for justice, every scripture teaches peace.
Africa still fights starvation while the rich prepare for war,
Billions spent on deadly weapons could feed every hungry poor,
History will ask the mighty when their kingdoms turn to dust:
Did you protect the broken people… or betray the world’s trust?
🎵

RAP VERSE – Spoken Conscious Flow
(Percussion strips down • cinematic strings underneath)
🎤
From the rivers filled with sorrow to the cities filled with smoke,
Too many promises from leaders — too many hearts are broke,
Children drawing tanks instead of birds up in the sky,
Tell me what kind of victory teaches innocence to die?
This Eid we need compassion… not another funeral prayer,
Too many empty dinner tables… too much fear inside the air,
Abraham stood for obedience… surrendering to the Light,
Not turning human lives to numbers every single night.
World powers hear the people — hear the mothers when they cry,
Every tear becomes a witness even if the cameras lie,
And one day every ruler stands with nothing left to hide…
No army… no title… no borders… no pride.
🎤

BRIDGE – SPIRITUAL BREAKDOWN
(Almost acapella • child choir • strings swelling slowly)
🎵
Ya Rahman…
Heal the earth tonight…
Ya Salaam…
Bring an end to war and fight…
Soften every hardened heart…
Guide the powerful to truth…
Let the leaders see the pain…
Inside the eyes of helpless youth…
🎵
Children Choir
🎵
“Peace… peace… peace…”
🎵
---
FINAL CHORUS – BIGGEST SECTION
(Massive orchestra • full choir • drums stronger)
🎵
Put the guns down…
Let humanity rise again…
One earth beneath Allah…
One family among all men…
Peace… Salaam…
Peace… Salaam…
No color greater than another…
No nation born above another…
Come and walk these ruined streets…
Hear the voices of the poor…
Power means nothing in the grave…
So what are all these weapons for?
Put the guns down…
Let the children dream again…
Eid should bring the world together…
Not more suffering and pain…
🎵

OUTRO – Spoken Reflection
(Music slowly fades to piano + distant choir hum)
🎙️
When the Takbir rises this Eid…
Let it rise above hatred…
Above greed…
Above war…
Allahu Akbar…
Allah is Greater…
Greater than missiles…
Greater than power…
Greater than every border mankind created.
And maybe…
If we truly understand sacrifice…
The world may finally choose peace.

FINAL CHOIR FADE

Peace… Salaam…”
