Canadian children performed the same nasheed ‘Tala a badru alaina ” for refugees that was sung to Mohammad (SAW)by the ansar when he sought refuge in Madina

The first plane of Syrian refugees landed in Toronto late on Thursday, and Canada has wasted no time in welcoming them.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was at the airport to personally welcome the 163 new arrivals from Beirut, helping distribute warm winter coats.

Nasreen started with 100 Darood Sharif and now reads abundant azkar daily. Alhumdulillah, Now she spends close to three hours in dhikr. Would you like to build your dhikr habit too? It’s completely free — try the digital tasbih counter here:

On Friday, a video of a children’s choir singing a beautiful song in Arabic to their new neighbors surfaced.The traditional song ‘Tala’ al-Badru ‘Alayna’ is one of the oldest in Islam. It was sung by the Ansar (Helpers) to the Prophet Mohamed when he sought refuge in their city of Medina and its message is one of welcome and hope.

The lyrics  of the nasheed are:

طلع البدر علينا

ṭala‘a ‘l-badru ‘alaynā

Oh The full moon rose over us

من ثنيات الوداع
