When You Test Me ft. Sultan Nasheeds & Harun Abdul-Haqq Lyrics

When you test me, bless me, with better than I have before

Mend me, gently, better than I was before

If you test me with wealth, make me like suleyman and keep me humble

If you give me enemies, make me like Dawud and see that Goliath tumbles

When you test me with children, make me like Ibrahim, help me to raise them in a manner pleasing

When you test me with the death of my loved ones, make me like Muhammed, grant me sabr in my grieving

When it's just me and my mother, make me like Isa, brave with certainty that you won't neglect us

When the world is against our faith, make us like the men of the cave and protect us

When they call me a liar, make me like Hud and send a terrible weather

And when you take me from the temporary, make me like Idris and grant me bliss forever

When you test me, bless me, with better than I have before

Mend me, gently, better than I was before

It's like you gave me what I wanted, when I thought what I wanted was what I wanted, but it wasn't

The root to you is like I had forgotten, no navigation in the heart, that's a problem

Turn away from Allah, you'll be faced in the dark, look in the trash, but won't find an option

You took everything away from me, but compare what you gave me back, it's a microcosm

You took my despair and you gave me a chance, I felt isolated, you gave me your glance

I feared, but you put braveness in my heart, I dropped my bad habits, you gave me Salah

Took my friends, but you gave me brothers, took my love for music and gave me something way better than before

And I'm grateful of it, and I know that

When you test me, bless me, with better than I have before

Mend me, gently, better than I was before

When you test me against evil, make me like Musa and strengthen me in speech

If the people don't listen, make me like Nuh and grant me patience and ease

If I pick the apple from the tree, make me like Adam and accept my repentance

If they then lock me in a cell, make me like Yusuf and preserve my intention

When you test me with sickness, make me like Ayub , patient and steadfast in my faith

Grant me patience like Zachariah if I ever reach old age

If you test me with stubborn people, make me like Salih at one with your trueness

And if I ever abandon the mission, show me your mercy and forgive me like Yunus

When you test me, bless me, with better than I have before

Mend me, gently, better than I was before

When you test me, bless me, with better than I have before

Mend me, gently, better than I was before
