The song is called "Koran" by Delerium. I want to know what the man is
singing. I know one part, he says "Bismilla Irahmaan Iraheem" which
means "In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful".

Hi pseudome!

I was about to go to bed, but then I saw your question and just had to
respond.  Delerium is one of my favorite bands!

The interesting thing about the song "Koran" is that it appeared on
the initial pressings of the album 'Karma.'  But it was replaced by
another song in subsequent pressings, due to a problem with a
particular sample.  The following discussion tells why the song was
replaced:

I bought 'Karma' when it was first released, so my copy has "Koran" on
it.  The liner notes do contain the lyrics to some of the songs;
however, they do not contain the lyrics to "Koran."

I've searched all over the web and newsgroups, and I haven't been able
to find anything.  The official Delerium page on the Nettwerk web site
has no information on lyrics:

Nettwerk: Delerium

Even the two major Delerium fan sites, which have the lyrics to some
songs, do not have the lyrics to "Koran":

Mindphaser
http://www.mindphaser.com/

Delerium.com (this site doesn't even acknowledge that "Koran" exists)
http://www.delerium.com/

There is also no information on the source of any of the samples used
in "Koran," so we can't try to determine the lyrics based on the
samples.

I'm tempted to say that the lyrics to "Koran" are not available on the
Internet.  But I know if I were to say that, then one of our fabulous
Researchers would immediately post the lyrics along with a web link!

It seems that this song used verses from the Al Rahman section of the
Koran.

"Delirium Invites Muslims’ Ire:
In another similar incident, the Network Records Company has tendered
an apology to the Muslim community in the United States, for producing
a recording of songs containing Qur’anic verses interspersed with
music, in a song entitled “Koran.” The recording was made by the music
group Delirium, and is sung using Qur’anic verses from the surah
Al-Rahman chapter as lyrics, as well as the opening salutation
“Bismillah,” interspersed with music.
The Council for American-Islamic Relations contacted the company and
lodged its complaint in this connection.
The company responded by making a direct apology for the production,
saying that the group and the company did not intend to hurt Islam or
the Muslims, claiming that the mistake was the result of ignorance.
The company says it has taken a decision to withdraw all such
recordings that are in the market."
