Prophet Muhammad (S)

When truth was lost and hearts frozen
from You, Allah came a Prophet, chosen.
Blessed Prophet Muhammad, obedient to You
taught us the things we ought to do.


He taught us for certain that You are One
and that You have neither a daughter nor son.
He taught us to be good to our mother and father
and that Paradise lies under the feet of our mother.


I love you my Prophet and sing your praise
and follow your Sunna, Prophetic Ways.
One day I will come to visit your tomb
Insh'Allah, that day will be very soon.


The Prophet's Mosque

With lightness of foot the gentle camel came
fearing to jolt the Prophet holding its rein.
With grace it had moved over the hot dessert sand
obeying the touch of its kind master's hand.


A cloud had shadowed them all along the way
and shielded them from the fierce sun's rays.
As they reached Medina children raced to his side
and the Prophet dismounted, patting his ride.


"Where shall we build the Mosque," in haste they enquired
as the Prophet released his camel that was happy yet
tired.
"Be patient," he said "In a moment you will see
where the camel takes its rest that's the place it will be."


As the camel sat down in a very blessed place
happiness spread over everyone's face
they knew where they must build at last
and brought wood and palms very fast.


A fine, yet humble Mosque stood upon the site
and the Prophet worshiped there day and night.
He thanked Allah for the safety of his ride,
for the camel that had carried him and those by his side



Wishfulness



Last night I imagined
an angel came
and took me by the hand,
we flew together far away
over sea and land.
We landed on a hilltop high
and looked down upon a town
and saw a group of people
with children that played around.


Then came a man dressed in white
whose perfume filled the air
the children stopped their playing
and sat in silence there.
This noble man had a face that shone
talked with words so kind
that tears just rolled down their
cheeks, a dry eye I could not find.


He spoke of Allah, our Creator
and that he was sent to guide
not just to that group of people
but to the world so wide.
I asked the angel "Who is that man
where is this lovely place?"
He told me "Prophet Muhammad,
in Medinah, City of Grace."


He told me that this noble Prophet
had been given the Book so true
that
teaches us what's right and wrong
and tells us what to do.
The Book is named "Al Koran"
a Book Allah protects
the Book so fine and full of truth
pure without defect.


Then the angel told me that
it was time to go,
I felt my heart was going to break
I loved the Prophet so.
The angel looked at me with pity
and smiled a gentle smile
so we drifted down the hillside
and stood a little while.


I heard something I'll never forget
that Allah is the only One
that He is Eternal and
does not need a son.
I learned that He has neither
a beginning nor an end
that He is Self-sufficient
and His religion is Islam.

Muhammed (saws)

What a year was 570 AD
A person was born, a prophet to be
Muhammed (saws) that was his name
People were misguided and thats when he came
He would go on to leave all the idols behind
He is an example to all of mankind


Rabbi al Awwal the 12th, that was the day
He came to this world to show us the way
He was born in Mecca, the holiest place
A life full of challenges he was to face
Abdullah (ra) his father, had by then passed away
Leaving Amina (ra) his mother, in her arms he lay


Haalima Sadia, took over his care
Until he was six, our prophet was there
His mother then died, he was left all alone
Abdul Muttalib (ra) his grand-dad then made him his own
When our prophet was nine, his grandfather died
Abu Talib, his uncle, became his new
guide


In his 20's, a merchant Muhammed (saws) became by trade
Al-Amin, (the trustworthy) became his grade
Hazrat Khadija (ra) aged 40, became his bride
He was 25, with her by his side
To the poor,she gave away all her wealth
A dedicated wife in sickness and health


360 idols in the Kaaba, they were at that time
Our prophet realised that this was a crime
He would go to mount Hira,leaving behind his wife
Reflecting and wondering about the meaning of life


While thinking there in the midst of the night
He heard a loud voice which filled him with fright
It was the angel Gibrail(as) who asked him to read
Our prophet couldn't and didnt take heed
The angel embraced him and then asked him later
Read, Read in the name of the Creator
Who created man from a drop of blood


Our prophet couldn't read but at that time
he could
Our prophet rushed to the path straight ahead
He heard a voice from the heavens which said
Muhammed (saws) truly you are the messenger of God
Muhammed (saws) was scared and thought this quite odd
'Praise be to God' his wife said instead
''I know you've been chosen as God's messenger' she said
And thus Khadija (ra) became the first woman of islam


And over the next 23 years came the revelation, the Quran
He preached to all people, every creed every race
Yet so many hardships he had to face
There were fears for his life, then the Hijrat took place
He then entered Medina, all by Allah's grace
He was greeted by the Ansaris who gave their salaam
To him and his companians,the Sahaba ikram


Then came the battles, which were fought face to face
Then the conquest of Mecca, Muhammed (saws)'s birthplace
An Nasr was revealed,
it's message was clear
Muhammed (saws) knew that his time was near
Everyone gathered to hear his last speech
little did they know how far Allah's message would reach


Muhammed (saws) gave us the miracle the Quran
And now a 1/4 of the world follow Islam
He is our role-model, the best of mankind
And has left the Quran and his Sunnah behind


Read the Quran as much as you can
The words of Allah (swt) for the guidance of man
And follow our prophet's sunnah, when eating and dressing
And send him salutations and many a blessing
He came to mankind to show us the way
And Insha-Allah, we'll meet him, we'll meet him one day
