What is Song: Allah Made Everything about?
Song: Allah Made Everything is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9: the song of the same name by the singer and songwriter Zain Bhikha, about how great and good Allah is, and how everything He made points back to Him.
The song asks the animals a question. A little fish at the bottom of the ocean: where did you come from, and who is the Lord of all creation? A little bird high in the sky, lighting it up with its colours: who made me to walk and you to fly? An alligator lying so still: by whose will do you crawl and swim? And the lion, king of the jungle and top of the food chain: who decides life and death? Each one gives the same answer: "That's my Lord, Allah, the Creator of us all."
The chorus says Allahu Akbar: there is no one greater than Allah, so why are we sometimes too proud to see the signs that are right before our eyes? The next verse turns to us, brothers and sisters, and reminds us that we will all return to our Creator. The singer travels the world, north to south and east to west, and wherever he goes he hears people sing Alhamdulillah.
It ends with a simple refrain that children soon sing along to: Allah made everything, you and I, the earth and the blue sky. Do we remember Him, thank Him for everything, and surrender to Him alone with all our lives?
The video lasts about 5 minutes. The same song is also in the library as a sing-along picture book, Allah Made Everything.
