What is Forever about?
Forever is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9: a song about how much parents and children love each other, no matter what, and a love that lasts forever.
The song is sung by a father to his son. As long as the sky is blue and the sun shines through, he will be there for him, forever. When the night sets in, he would give anything to see his child smile again. The chorus says it simply: you mean the world to me, and it was nothing more than destiny that brought us together, you and me.
The later verses look further ahead. As they live their lives and face every trial, the father will be by his son's side. Even when he has gone to his eternal home, his love will still live on, because Allah's mercy never ends, and he hopes that, by that mercy, they will be together again.
The video mixes real people and drawings. A father and his young son sing and walk hand in hand through a hand-drawn world of green hills, bright blue skies, colourful buildings and starry nights, and words like "forever" and "me" pop up on the screen. At the end, the father scoops his son up in a hug.
It is a warm song to watch together, and it can help children say how much they love their parents, and understand that the love of a family, by Allah's mercy, does not end in this life.
