In His Name, the Most High
This track is a companion track - and each of its lines are built from the series of sessions developed by the Truth Promoters Group for Muharram (Ashura) 1448 (June 2026) and Safar (Arbaeen) 1448 (July/August 2026).
Each of the verses encapsulate lessons from two sermons and two maqtals from the Shahada (Witness) Series.
The relevant sermon and maqtal links are provided alongside each verse.
Lyrics for the Song (Anthem/Nasheed)
Intro
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel's field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Verse 1
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - Where Is Your Brother?
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - Where Is Your Brother?
It started with two brothers, an offering, a field —
one raised his hand to take a life, one would not lift a sword.
"I fear my Lord," said Abel, "I will not raise my hand" —
the first to bear the witness, the first true martyr's stand.
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - The Oldest Covenant on Earth
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Inherited Tear
Before the worlds were fashioned, before we had a name,
"Am I not your Lord?" He asked us — and "Yes" became the flame.
Through Noah, through Abraham, through each prophet's weeping eye,
the tear was passed from hand to hand; that chain would never die.
Chorus
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel's field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Verse 2
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - Five Kinds of Death
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Farewell of the Heart
Not every death is equal, not every fall the same —
some lives are torn away by force, some chosen without blame.
He did not lose his life that day — he placed it in God's hand;
the death that looks like ending is the seed that makes us stand.
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - Every Day is Ashura
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Ambassador
At Mina stood the warning: the silent scholars knew,
but fear and ease and blindness kept their tongues from speaking true.
The tongue may say "I love him" — but the life must answer too;
for every day is Ashura, and Karbala is you.
Chorus
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel’s field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Verse 3
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - The Cross and the Witness
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Two Who Crossed Over
The witness knows no border; it speaks in every tongue —
the captain turned his horse around before the day was done;
a Christian crossed his own creed to fall on that same sand:
one oil had lit their every lamp, one light in every hand.
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - The Wretched and the Witness
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - Cherry Blossoms at Dawn
The chosen are not chosen for their blood or flag or throne —
the chosen bear a burden, and they bear it not alone.
They sought their own deliverance down every road but His;
the anchor that they ached to find was the covenant that is.
Chorus
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel’s field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Verse 4
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - Nothing More Precious Than Independence
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Hands at the Euphrates
What cause is worth the dying? What banner, and what name?
But one alone was worthy, and it bowed to no man's claim
but God's — so at the river, when both his hands were shorn,
Abbas still raised the standard for the Proof that he had sworn.
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - To Die Like Falling Cherry Petals
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Lamps That Would Not Flicker
No empire's borrowed beauty, no falling petal's art
could match the faithful lamps that would not flicker in the dark.
He offered them their freedom — and not one of them would flee;
and Zaynab saw, through all of it, a beauty none could see.
Chorus
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel’s field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Verse 5
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - The False Shahada (Witness)
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - The Silent Witness
Beware the counterfeit witness that steals the holy word;
the truest, smallest witness was the cry no mercy heard —
an arrow found an infant in his father's aching hold;
no liar steals that witness, and no lie can make it cold.
Sermon: Shahada (Witness) - Husayn, Heir of Adam
Maqtal (Lamentation): Shahada (Witness) - Peace Upon You, O Aba Abdillah
He is the heir of Adam, of every prophet's light,
the measure of all empires, the criterion of right.
He bowed his final sajdah, at peace with God's decree:
"no soul like mine," he told them, "pledges to a man like he."
Chorus
A witness is no victim, not conquered and not slain —
he speaks the truth his Lord revealed and bears it through the pain.
From Abel’s field to Karbala one fire has not grown cold:
one chain, one flame, one loyalty — to God alone we hold.
Outro
So where is your brother? Are you walking, are you true?
The chain has reached your hands at last — the witness falls to you.
Each day we clear the throne of every idol, every lie:
there is no lord but God alone — and Husayn showed us why.
