« Praise to prophet »



Amid the confusion, the chaos and the pain
A man emerged and Muhammad was his name
And walking with nothing but Allah as his aid
And the mark of a prophet between his shoulder blades
In a cave in mount hira, the revelation came
Read o Muhammad, read in Allah’s name
May the blessings of Allah be on almustafaa the selected one
None besides him could have been almujtabaa the chosen one

Muhammad, peace be upon his soul
The greatest of prophets, Islam was his only goal
Muhammad, salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
From among all the prophets, Muhammad was the last
As his was a mission of the greatest task
There was only moral degeneration
People clung to idol adoration
For all nations, he was almukhtaar the preferred one
So was he praised by Allah, alghaffaar
The bearer of glad tidings, albasheer
Leading into light, asseerajalmuneer lamp of Radiance

In handling the wicked, he had the best of skill
He pacified with tolerance and goodwill
The best of morals he aimed to attain
All he accomplished through suffering and pain
Reviving imaan as almuthakkir the reminder
He is known in the qur'aan as almuddaththir covered up
Only he was given the honour of miraaj
Unique was this glory to Muhammad asseeraj the lamp

He was ad da'ee illAllah hil azheem
All hadi elaa seerauteem mustakeem
His mission complete, his held in great esteem
Allah praised him as bilkhuluqil azeem
May the blessings of Allah be on mustafaa
None besides him could have been almujtabaa
So perfect were his morals, so justly did he rule
Darkness had vanished and the word was full of noor

Balagha ’lula bikamalihi
Kashafa ’dduja bijamalihi
Hasunat jami‘u khisalihi
Sallu alayhi wa ‘alihi

Muhammad, peace be upon his soul,
The greatest of Prophets, Islam was his only goal
