Sung by Layan · Layth follows along
- Six strong pillars, hold them tight
- Iman keeps our hearts so bright
- Six beliefs to know and keep
- Treasures in our hearts, so deep

- Then the angels made of light, watching over day and night
- Holy books that Allah sent, the Quran's our guide and our friend
- Prophets came to show the way, teaching us to love and pray
- One last day we'll all be raised, so we do good deeds and give praise
- Allah knows what's big and small, He plans and He decrees it all
- The faith that helps us grow
What this song is about
Six things a Muslim believes, one line each. Allah, our one, maker of the moon and the sun. The angels made of light, watching over day and night. The holy books that Allah sent, with the Quran our guide and our friend. The prophets who came to show the way, teaching us to love and pray. One last day when we'll all be raised, so we do good deeds and give praise. And that Allah knows what's big and small — He plans and He decrees it all. Iman keeps our hearts so bright: six beliefs to know and keep, treasures in our hearts, so deep.
