-------------------------

Born in Washington DC and raised in Maryland, Raef has shared his music with faith-based communities across the world. In the early 2000s, he sang tenor in a college a cappella group and played his acoustic guitar at local coffee shops. Raef was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock-band "Great Seneca" toured the United States as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Shortly afterwards, Raef joined the "Poetic Vision Tour" - a band of traveling musicians and poets dedicated to inspiring a spiritual and cultural renewal. More recently, Raef started working with Awakening Records and in 2014 released his debut album "The Path" , a collection of songs that reflects his identity as an American Muslim and his journey throughout the years.

Lyrics:

Search the sky for light and glory, La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)
The moon will smile, don't you worry, La ilaha illa Allah
Upon Muhammad, peace and blessings, La ilaha illa Allah
Join together Let us all sing! La ilaha illa Allah

Peace upon the son of Mary, La ilaha illa Allah
Jesus sent with love and mercy, La ilaha illa Allah
He filled the hearts that once were hollow, La ilaha illa Allah
The more you give, the more will follow! La ilaha illa Allah

Rabbee salli 'ala Muhammad, (O Allah, send peace & blessings upon Muhammad)
La ilaha illa Allah
Saadiqul wa'dil Mumajjad, (He is truthful in his promise and ennobled)
La ilaha illa Allah
Wa 'ala 'Issa Ibni Maryam, (And [send peace & blessings] upon Jesus the son of Mary)
La ilaha illa Allah
Allathi fil mahdi takallam, (He who spoke as a newborn baby)
La ilaha illa Allah

‘Tis the season to be jolly, La ilaha illa Allah
Share a smile with everybody, La ilaha illa Allah
Even though our time is fleeting, La ilaha illa Allah
We look forward to our meeting! La ilaha illa Allah
La la la... La la la ilaha illa Allah!
