Nader Khan: Love Always Works Legal Download | Lyrics
Islamic love songs are rare, but Nader Khan has done it!
Love Always Works is a 2021 Valentines Day release expressing love for none other than the prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
In addition to Nader Khan, the song features the Blacksmiths as backing vocalists and on percussion.
Nine years.
That’s right. Nader Khan has been working on this release for nine years. So it’s certainly worth showing your support.
Furthermore, the song’s proceeds will go towards a charitable cause. Therefore, keep it Halal and buy the song legally.
A request from Nader Khan on his official website:
Please recite the Fatiha** and send prayers on the Beloved Messenger (ﷺ) on behalf of everyone who has worked to bring this song to you.
Love Always Works Music Video
The video features the artists in a studio, playing their drums and singing in a relaxed ‘chilled out’ manner.
Those features in the video are wearing hats and dressed in all-black, a great contrast to the white background.
Instruments featured include the Daff, Maracas and Tabla.

Lyrics Analysis
1 – The Prophet Smiled Often
Your gentle words / Your smiling, your smiling art
Perhaps there is a reason why the phrase ‘your smiling’ is repeated twice. Because, the prophet smiled often.
Abdullah ibn Al-Harith ibn Hazm said, “I have never seen anyone who smiles more than the Prophet does.”
(At-Tirmidhi)
2 – Allah Never Leaves us
We cant go wrong / We wont be left
Mentioned in the Quran:
“and he is with you wherever you are”
(Quran 57:4)
3 – We Ask to be Guided to the Straight Path Every Day
This here is the path / This here is the lover’s call
We recite Surah Fatiha (the opening), in it we ask Allah to guide us to the straight path.
“Guide us to the straight path”
(Quran 1:5)
Final Thoughts
I like the song, unique style and video. Moreover, the focus on drums instead of wind or string instruments is a bonus, reaching out to a wider audience.
It’s great to hear from Nader Khan again.
