A Muslim Anthem
by Abdullah Quilliam 21st april 1901
Tune – “God Save the King”

God bless the Muslim cause:
Bless all who keep Thy laws
And do the right.
Uphold the Muslim band,
In this and every land;
Give them full strength to stand
Firm in the fight.

Strengthen and help the weak,
And teach us all to speak,
Thy truth abound.
May love and liberty,
Truth and sweet purity,
With plenteous charity,
In us be found.

Hear Thou the orphan's cry,
Assuage the widow's sigh,
The foolish chide.
Let vice no more abound,
But happiness be found
In every home and round
The world so wide.
