Let it Be

Paul McCartney wrote “Let It Be” to bring himself peace during a highly stressful period. Overwhelmed by tensions and arguments within The Beatles, he had a comforting dream where his late mother, Mary—who passed away when he was 14—appeared to reassure him by saying, “It will be all right, just Let it Be”

Discoveries, new labels, new contradictions, and thus fresh human battles over the meaning of the discovery: opportunities to fight one another, and so the world keeps turning on its axis. Paul McCartney’s ‘Let It Be’, a song written at a time when societies were in turmoil and everything was thrown into the battle to liberate societies from the perceived yoke, doctrines, and imposed lifestyles, was answered by Paul with a deadpan “let it be,” nowadays often translated as ‘who cares’. 

Maher Zain wrote the motivational song “Insya Allah” to inspire people to never lose hope during difficult times and to remind them to keep their faith and trust in Allah. He wanted to create an uplifting message that brings comfort to listeners when they are feeling lost or hopeless

Manifesto of Recognition

You do not need a dominator to be oppressed.

Oppression can also come from within: from addiction, from forced activism, from the despair your own mess leaves behind.

Maher’s voice says: Recognition is responsibility.
Without wisdom, no prosperity.
Without forgiveness, no tomorrow.

And so, like a snowplow, Let It Be pushes the madness aside,
And Insya Allah points the way upward.
Never despair. Keep on rolling.

Insya Allah
