Maher Zain is a Swedish singer, he is present in the world music with Islamic songs, ones of Maher Zain’s songs that I really like is "Number one for me". I think it’s very interesting song, the meaning of the song makes me memorable, the message in the song is very touching, the lyrics of the song about a child expresses his feelings to his mother, who has been educating him since childhood and always be patient when his son made a mistake. In the teachings of Islam itself, a mother is very appreciated, the mother is someone who has conceived and born us and cares us since we born.

In Islam, a mother is the first person we should respect. In a hadith it is told: A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

This is "Number One for Me" song’s lyric:

"Number One for Me"

I was a foolish little child
Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama, now I'm here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it's time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed

[Chorus:]
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum, I'm all grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum, I'm all grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I'd face in time
'Cause now I've got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I've learned so much from you
Now I'm trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do

Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum, I'm all grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum, I'm all grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

You know you are the number one for me [x3]
Oh, oh, number one for me
You know you are the number one for me [x3]
Oh, oh, number one for me

There's no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I'm sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I'm around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me

Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum, I'm all grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum, I'm all grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum, I'm all grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum, I'm all grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

The number one for me [x3]

Oh, oh, number one for me

When I listen to this song and watched the video clip, I remembered the crazy things that I did when I was a child, I often made mistakes but my mother never scolded me, even my mother gave advice and suggest me softly.

When I decide to continue my study in far away from my mother, I often listened to this song to treat my longing with my parents, the lyrics of the song made me smile by myself and even I played the song two to three more. I also really like the video clip of the song. I think the content of the video is very appropriate with the lyrics of the song.

After listening to this song, my spirits rose to become someone who could boast of my mother, who made her smile proudly when she saw me, I know I can never repay my parents for everything that has been given to me. But, I will always try to do best for my mother.
