Turning Point Lyrics

So yeah, maybe today will be the turning point for me

How can I understand this if I don't fully understand my deen

How can you find peace in your heart when we don't understand the one that made the heart

After all the pain and struggles we still choose to ignore

We chase our fantasy and we just want more and more

We chase everything, money, designer clothes and supercars

But we don't want to be close to the one that made the moon and the stars

Continuously searching for something that will bring us nothing but pain

Neglecting our creator, that's a Muslim's true pain

You'd think we'd learn after losing someone close

You'd think we'd try to make a change

You'd think we'd understand this life doesn't belong to us

But instead we just go back to our old ways

Why is it so hard? I think about this every single day

Why do we struggle to sometimes wake up and pray

Why do we make up excuses and reasons to not pray

We see the kafir have a routine

Wake up early, gym, eat, work

But us as Muslims can't take out 20 minutes a day to say Allahu Akbar

Allah says, O my slave, if you come to me a hand span, I come to you an arm's length

If you come to me walking, I come to you running

My slave, when you remember me, I remember you

And when you forget me, I still remember you

How can we still not turn to Allah

Knowing he will still forgive us even if our sins are great and our good deeds are few

We've overcomplicated the deen because we find it so hard to maintain

Sometimes it's with us and sometimes it's not

It's just all part of the game

Let me tell you a little bit about me

Yh I'm Hafiz, Alhamdulillah, I didn't do it for the fame

For someone to say he just did it for the name

I did it so I can stand next to the Prophet Muhammad one day

Started off with Alhamdulillah, Rabbil Alameen

Ended with Surah An-Nas, Sadaqallahul Azeem

Yeah, I thought to myself, this all must be a dream

Reciting the last ten surahs, it was like my soul was freed

This dunya is so strange, it just messes with my head

Even when I sleep, I find no peace in my bed

Turning over and over like a page in a book

But this ain't the final chapter, I got more pages to overlook

This is just the beginning and changes need to be made

And I'd be a fool to say that I'm not afraid

I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my sunnah

And if you follow these, you will never go astray

This is what the Prophet Muhammad said, so we don't push Islam away

Yeah, we're all the same, I've got sins, you've got sins

We're the best of all sinners

But Alhamdulillah, I've got the heart of a winner

I'm gonna go the whole way, I'm not gonna stop till I make it

Until the day Azrael comes down and takes it

This world we see every day is just mentally abusive

Making money, lavish cars, we all think we're exclusive

I'm trying to live my life for the better

I'm trying to make a change

Trying to understand my deen so I'm ready for the final stage

This dunya is so strange, it's a prison for the Muslimin

Each of us got a life sentence with only one way to be freed

Our body is temporary but our soul is eternal

We all know the Kalimah Shahada

But when your time's up, there's no time for rehearsals

La ilaha illallah on the tips of our tongues

When our soul leaves our body and there's no breath in our lungs

At that point it hits us all the times we didn't pray

We think Ya Rabbi send me back for one more day

Give me one more chance Ya Rabb

Send me back to change my ways but it's too late

Now our life in the dunya is done and now it's time to pay

Ya Allah forgive me for my sins, ameen

I'll be bowing in sujud, I hope my soul gets cleaned

This dunya is calling me, my heart is warning me

The devil's trying to grab me and say bro come roll with me

I'm trying to get lyrical, I'm trying to get spiritual

I'm trying to find my way for this could be my last day

There's so much on my mind I know Allah already knows

Every time I say Allahu Akbar I can feel Him getting close

That feeling hits different every time you pray

You feel at peace, this feeling never goes away

So tell me now how can this be

How can you fight the devil when he doesn't even bleed

How can you give up so soon without even trying

Say astaghfirullah three times and watch your eyes start crying

The hardest battle you fight is when you fight yourself

The devil will say come back but just stay true to yourself

Cause there ain't no second chances, you're not gonna return

This life will be finished and some of us are gonna burn

Maybe this is a turning point for me

You gave me chance after chance, you forgave every mistake I've ever made

Pretending I'm filled with happiness with everything that I do

But deep down I know something's missing and realise I'm the biggest fool

Maybe this is the turning point for me

Inshallah it will be the turning point for me
