The Beauty of Kun Faya Kun: An Overview

 The Beauty of "Kun Faya Kun"

As human beings we often face the complexities of life, the complexities of life are a testament to how much we are willing to not give up despite the challenges. What do we do when we are burdened by problems and difficulties of life, do we ask God to fix it, or do we lose all faith in God, regardless of what religion we follow, we have experienced this. Kun Faya Kun is a song sung and composed by A.R Rahman, Javed Ali, and Mohit Chauhan. It is not just a song but rather it is a feeling; it is an experience that elevates your soul. This song is like a path that reconnects us to our faith and with the divine being. This song is about changing your internal self, reflecting our actions without worrying about what has already happened because what was meant to happen will happen according to God's wishes. Kun Faya Kun is taken directly from the Quran. The lyrics "jab kahin pe kuch nahi bhi nahi tha, wahi tha wahi tha" means that, when there was absolute nothingness, he was there, he was there. The meaning of Kun Faya Kun is "be, and it is". this refers to god's supreme power as whatever he wishes to exist will exist. Although this song is directly referring to Allah it is truly a song that makes you feel connected to the divine source of energy, the supreme power, the creator of all. I, as a Christian love this song and I find peace in this song whenever I listen to it, whenever I am troubled in life I listen to this song as it speaks to my inner soul. I don't ask God to fix my problems but rather I try to praise God for his magnificence that he created everywhere. The depth of this song truly shows how the divine creator can create boundless beauty all around us which is ignored by people who only focus on outer beauty. The profound beauty of this song reminds us about the transformative power of faith and music irrespective of religion. 

As I conclude this blog, I would like to suggest everyone to listen to this song whenever you feel lost in life. it doesn't matter whether you are a Christian, Hindu or even an atheist. This song is not just for Muslims, it is for anyone and everyone who are uncertain about the possibilities of the future, it is for the people who are misguided, it is for the people who are tired and lost during times of disaster, the essence of Kun Faya Kun guides us to a more spiritual journey therefore, it is a song that should be heard by everyone.
