KARAM KARAM
Synopsis
Karam Karam calls upon The Most Gracious, imploring Him for His endless grace. The song invites one to extend gratitude to Allah ﷻ Most Kind for all His blessings
Performed at a moderately fast pace, the song builds excitement to inspire sentiments of deep appreciation for the wonderful graces we all enjoy on a daily basis, and quite often take for granted. The song provides an opportunity to connect with the Lord Almighty to re-kindle the believer's relationship with Him. Some attributes of Allah Almighty, like His ‘Infinite Mercy’, ‘Love’ and ‘Gentleness’, are highlighted. Here the lyricist aligns the heart with that which elevates the soul to the highest qualities of nobility. Tranquillity and solace are found in dhikr (the remembrance of Allah ﷻ) and forgetfulness leads one to a life of degradation.
Dhikr (zikr) - remembrance of God – a devotional practice in which the worshipper is absorbed in the rhythmic repetition of the name of God or His attributes.
