Song featured in Sami Yusuf's "My Ummah" album, done with english text of the lyrics.I made this after watching Sami Yusuf and Isam on a concert together performing this song. They pointed out that this song speaks of any troubled children in the world, even if some lyrics explicitly point to the Palestinian struggle. All of the videos on this song that I saw on YouTube represent that particular struggle only. I'd like to return to the concept of the creators of the music, and try to incorporate all of the world's children's suffering-- this is my attempt at it.Please rate it and tell me what you think-- constructive criticism is highly preferred over blind offense, and appreciation is always welcomed.If you want to help, give your time or your earnings to causes you believe in. It's not how much you give, it's that you give. This is my preference charity outlet that I trust, but you can choose your own:www.islamic-relief.com (International)www.irw.org (USA) - recipient of Four Star Charity by Charity NavigatorCorcerning Music and Islam:After searching the quran and found empty on any banning of music, I turn to Hadeeth:Hadeeth Shahih Muslim (excerpts from www.quran.net)Muhammad, peace be upon him allows the enjoyment of singing and musical instruments. Hence, music is not haram.Book 004, Number 1942: " 'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came (in my apartment) while there were two girls with me singing the song of the Battle of Bu'ath. He lay down on the bed and turned away his face. Then came Abu Bakr and he scolded me and said: Oh! this musical instrument of the devil in the house of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)! The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned towards him and said: Leave them alone. And when he (the Holy Prophet) became unattentive, I hinted them and they went out, and it was the day of 'Id and negroes were playing with shields and speare. (I do not remember) whether I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) or whether he said to me if I desired to see (that sport). I said: Yes. I stood behind him with his face parallel to my face, and he said: O Banu Arfada, be busy (in your sports) till I was satiated. He said (to me): Is that enough? I said: Yes. Upon this he asked me to go."Song/Music are just tools, like talking, that can deliver both good and evil. Talking can do a lot of harm (backbiting, gossiping), but Talking in general isn't haram - only backbiting and gossiping is haram. Music does the same, so why some people want to claim it Haram, when it is only a tool to perform good or evil. Listening to good music is like listening to talks of good and beauty of the creation of Allah, and listening to raunchy music is like listening to gossip. So claim haram to only those music that are lustful and profane, but not all music - especially good music.Book 033, Number 6422: "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect."King Abdullah claim title "Guardian of two Holy Cities" website reference:"On the death of King Fahd on 1st August, 2005, the title of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was assumed by King Fahd's successor, King Abdullah." --- is from Ministry of Hajj, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia website:http://www.hajinformation.com/main/d10.htmanother reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custodian_of_the_Two_Holy_Mosques

(Part 13B) SAT, July 28, 2007. SCANNERS 2007 Video Festival. Film Society at Lincoln Center. Walter Reade Theater. CRITIC Armond White's "Official History of Music Video: An Introspective" Presentation.This footage airs the original segment/portion of the music video that caused a lot of controversy when it initially aired.(Part 13B)PANTHEON Exhibit CCRITIC Armond White on Michael Jackson "Black Or White"Director: John LandisHere's an article promoting the event:http://www.nypress.com/20/30/news&columns/feature.cfmArmond White can be reached courtesy of the weekly, the New York Press http://www.nypress.comOrthe newsletter, First of The Monthhttp://www.firstofthemonth.org/Here are some quotes from Armond White on this section of the music video. It's from the essay, "Black Or White, The Gloved One Is Not A Chump"."...It's doubtful if the most devoted Jackson fans were prepared for the coda's display of complex, raw anger. On the sound stage where the morphing sequence was shot, a panther stalks the set unnoticed by the technicians, and wanders off to a dark, misty city-street set, where the panther transforms into Jackson. Dressed in black, with white socks and arm brace, plus a black fedora, Jackson turns his early eighties robotic break moves into Kewpie doll spasms that are jerky, tense (his joints seem to have 360-degree hinges) and finally sensual.""This is a film noir version of Gene Kelly's famous Singin' In The Rain number, and Jackson's subversion of that cheerful archetype surely disturbed most people's notion of what show business is all about...""...fondling his groin and pinching his nipple, Jackson goes past exhibitionism into artfully rendered obsessiveness, for anyone who had him pigeonholed as a harmless eunuch, his coda says, 'Not so fast! I'm an adult, I got a dick! And I'm angry,' ""The coda's most amazing semiotic moment is a close shot of Jackson slowly zipping up his fly. The invisible penis is what's called a 'structuring absence' - - the drive of the entire video represents the thrust of his ego..."The City Sun.
