this keeps me going throughout the fasting month as a motivational song. Reverted to Islam 3 years ago Alhamdulillah but I still find fasting hella difficult. Props to Lupe!
I don't care whether you're a Christian, Muslim, Hindu...we all praise the same God and bleed the same blood. We can all learn from each other and apply these teachings to your own life. May Allah bless you all...from a Christian man.
One of the best lyricists I have ever heard. Don't matter what religion you are or believe in, you have to agree that lupe's lines have you thinkin like damn
Im not religious but i love islam. I also love christianity and buddhism etc. I hope muslims know that the majority of the people respect you. Bombs and hate may be louder than love, but there's more love ..❤️
There are some good ideas in Islam, like giving to the poor, respecting your elders etc. But it's important to know that it isn't exactly all love and roses. There are some really harmful ideas, like punishing people who leave Islam, or eternal torture in hell for 'disbelievers'. 'These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins. And for [striking] them are maces of iron. Every time they want to get out of Hellfire from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"' quran.com/22/19-22 It's possible to respect and even love people while not liking the religion they were raised in. I love my parents but I don't like the religion they were raised in.
Im not a Muslim. Lupe's beautiful art brought me to this page. Im touched by the inspirational messages left here from the Muslim community. You have a beautiful religion, and every right to practice it. Don't pay any attention to the small-minded opinions of western societies dying minority. Our strength is combining together as one people (regardless of religion) to fight the real enemies in this new world. How can we love without open arms? (H.K.)
story time! Lupe used Jesus Walks for this and Diamonds from Sierra Leone(Conflict Diamonds) from Kanye and that caught Kanye's attention and thats how Lupe got on Touch the Sky and the rest is history.
Truth 🙏🏼❤️ ....massive when a celebrity of his status is preaching some GOOD values, warms my heart SO much! Hope the youth find it inspiring. It is hard with so much peer pressure, but to any young one reading this: ALWAYS choose God & the right path & guaranteed you will be fine : ) 🙏🏼
I'm not Muslim, but this song is true and great. I have great respect for the religion and I believe that people should stop beating it down with ridiculous stereotypes. And Lupe, you deserve so much more credit.
When I was partying there, this song lead me to be praying god bless you. I began to start redemption because of this song. God bless Lupe fiasco. Assalamualaikum
dimmy dunk The west is all up in what's going on in those 3rd world countries. They play the roles then hide their hands therefore you are not saying it like it is.
dimmy dunk If there was no desire then there would not be a man who is teaching his people called Farrakhan. You will see whose really the problem. It never were Muslims
I have a lot of respect for this man as should others for having the courage to use his fame and words to defend and define his religion to those who do not understand. His song "Words I Never Said" was even heard in my favorite tv programs. His words have deep meaning and he displays them in perfectly in his music. Mashallah.
So needed and so true right now. RESPECT! (sent from a proud pagan, whom respects souls from all religions and non-religions... TOLERANCE and EDUCATION is needed in america)
brother Lupe if you can hear me....May Allah bless you! keep up the good work. we need more famous people like you with influence to help our kids see the truth and get on the straight path. those out there in the lime light with neggative influence are destroying our youth muslims and non-muslims alike, thus your work helps to compensate. May Allah guide all those who seek the truth. i love you for the sake of Allah!
it's bc this song is from a mixtape while Kanye's was a single from his album. Viral was also a hard thing to do back then as RU-vid was brand new and social media wasn't around save for Myspace.
respect to Lupe, he shows that rappers can be selfconscious and still drop a good lyric. Nowaday's hip hop is dead but he shows there are still real rappers
im a christian but i accept everybody as my brother. this is an amazing song and lupe is my favorite rapper if everyone got his message we could all accept eachother as one. much love jesus and mohammed and buddha and whatever you believe walks
couldnt have said it better! keep doin your thing lupe, may Allah grant you Jannah! Ameeen and let these racist hater bark cus all they do is with their lives is be racist and show hatred towards other religions
+Almas Syafei this ain't even one of Lupe's most complicated songs but I'm guessing it may be because this song is from a Muslim perspective, so how can you ask non-Muslim to understand the nods to the many acts of Muslims? No hate tho' since being a Lupe's stan is hard af.
As a Christian, I find this song is dope as F! Lupe is undoubtedly one of the top 10 rappers of all time, he's just not recognized for it because he's on an indie label now, and he only drops a project every 5 or so years. The direction Lupe took writing this song shows he's far superior intelligence to today's set radio rappers filled with 10 song loop that gets repeated till your ears bleed. Who do most people who only source their music from the radio believe are the best artists of today? You'll hear names like Lil Baby, Lil Nas X, Nba Young boy, all hijacked rap legends names (F'ing lil nas x outright stole NAS's name thinking Lil and X in the in front of and behind his name made it original. Zero percent chance these guys write their own lyrics, take part in production. And like Machine Gun Kelly is falling off the map these guys will too, and they be dead broke in 10 years tops FACT!
If you can find me a quote anywhere in the bible where Jesus said"I am God, worship me" I will convert today. Don't you think this would be a pretty important thing to say when spreading your message? Jesus is a Prophet. Not God.
just2fly10 I'm not Christian, but the belief is that the Trinity (God, Jesus and Holy Spirit) are all one. Although Jesus was human, in Christians' view he was also divine.
The Bible contradicts. The Father is greater than I. [John 14:28] Jesus(pbuh) never says one time in the whole bible ''I AM GOD'' dont you think it would have been quite a crucial point to make clear to mankind if he was really God? the truth is he is not God, the Miracles he performed where by the will of God, not because he himself was God.
All Praises due to The Most High, & Peace be upon ALL those who realize God is Love & in such UNDERSTANDING & commonalities. Enough so that "I" as a MUSLIM am engaged to the Love of my life, & she is a CHRISTIAN & daughter of a Baptist Minister. God is Love, understand. Peace be unto you all.
Mat. 28: 19-20: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of th Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
Ok people look I'm a Muslim I wear the hajjab and I'm very very proud please stop arguing about religion to all of the brothers and sisters who are Muslims please just ignore the ignorant comments remember Islam is about peace not violence and let us not forget that Allah is hearing what we say and we must respect ALL religions :)) Mashallah very nice song :))
O sorry I didn't see post 2, it wasn't i the linked comments. Anyways what was the point you were making with that persian scripture. The sumerians weren't completely accurate with their map making but it is notheless impressive, they also had very interesting mythology( aliens called the nibiru). And PbE outside of a mathematical context is a logical fallacy.
I had read Qu'ran myself and I'm thinking about to convert to Islam - Bible is good but it's also full of lies... I've read some of the Qu'ran and I didn't found ONE SINGLE LIE. Actually I am grateful for your conversation with that user it shows me clearly who is wrong and who is right. I'm had made my decision - I want to be Muslim.
Oh glorious victory. I love it when somebody starts insulting me after an articulated argument, there's no better manifest of the opponents failure. Have a nice day pal, I hope that you'll understand one day my thoughts. Until then, all the best. :)
Salam aaleykoum. I love this song,but I didn't get the whole song. Can someone translate me this part please because I'm french and I didn't understand it :We "All, so we fall for the illusions of the beast So instead of tryin to teach we show our teeth Saying God, different beliefs Hijabs, Sunday clothes, yamika, kufi, same mission beneath" THXX
To prove your point: Christians in Egypt (Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, however, we have a community of Christians; Coptic, Orthodox, Protestant, or Catholic) that say 'Allah'. They say, "Alhamdulilah", basically, "Thank God" only literally its "Thank Allah". They also say, 'Inshaa Allah." meaning, 'Allah willing."
