In The Name Of Allah, Boundlessly Gracious, The Most Merciful
Peace
and blessings be upon our master Muhammad, the Opener of what was closed, the Seal
of what has gone before, the Helper of the Truth with Truth and the Guide to
Your straight path. The blessing should include
his Family and be for them in accordance with the reality of his magnitude and
his exceedingly great status.
(Harf Alif)
1. My heart adamantly rejects all else and is besieged with yearning
and being
enamored with love and ardent
longing for the Prophet.
2.
I spend the entire night wide awake and alert composing songs and poetry for the
one who is completely pure from the
beginning (of his life) to the end (of his life).
3. I am recording my poem in my night
vigil while my neighbors are asleep and my
eyelids are shedding tears like
falling rain.
4. I compose the verses in proper order
by mentioning his attributes and description,
what can be better than celebrating
the precious moon?
5. My master Muhammad is the key to the (spiritual)
openings and the seal of the
Messengers, while he is also their
predecessor and leader.
6. By him all of the Prophets obtained
their needs and by him the Divine Presence
(Hadarat) was beautified and
adorned, so exalt and venerate him.
7. He has been the ‘Messenger of Allah’
even before the creation of Adam (AS), and he
will remain the glorious and
magnified ‘Messenger of Allah’ for all of eternity.
8. He emerged as a unique treasure of the
Absolute Reality (Kanziyatul Haqq), and the
distributor and source of all things
{as creation is from his light}.[1]
9. The miracles of all the Messengers is
only an extract from the miracle of Muhammad,
and by (means of) him is the
regulation of all affairs.
10. He is the gift of the Lord of the
Throne---‘Ta-Ha’---Muhammad! And also
His Divine
Mercy--for He is Rahim, so let us
honor him.
11. The giver of glad tidings and the warner
(of the Day of Judgment), the just and
equitable distributor; the noble and
liberal benefactor and his boon permeates to all.
12. He is a perfect role model, trustworthy
and the most distinguished of all those sent,
He is the Beloved of the God of the
Throne--from time primordial to all of eternity.
13. He is a cumulous white cloudscape from
which rain is sought by his nobility and
blessing, and by him the dark night of
ignorance is illuminated.
14.
The hearts of all of humanity was made full of life by his light, and their
tongues were
also made lively, purified and made erudite.
15. I swear by Allah! Ahmad has no counterpart, equal and no second
(and no match),
for indeed Ahmad is a unique,
distinctive and indivisible pearl (Fardun Jawhara lan
yuqasuma).
16. Upon him is the blessing and peace of
Allah, as well as upon his family and noble
companions.
17. If you were to ask me who is my beloved
and who is my master?--I shall answer that
he is ‘Ta-Ha’, the Beloved of Allah,
none other than he!
18. All of my time and moments are spent in
his remembrance, in sending Salat (blessings
and peace) upon him and praising
him--through this I became exalted in my Age.
19. Whosoever wishes to compete with me in
my intense love and yearning for our
Prophet has indeed desired that which
is impossible and prohibited.
20. Just as it is impossible to hold a
day-old Moon in between one’s fingers, or just as it is
impossible to bring back yesterday to
today.
21. Or it is just like those who attempted
to cover and envelope (all of) his attributes,
although many have attempted and
tried, they had to quit and leave (many of his
noble attributes) undiscovered.
22. I choose and prefer the love of the Chosen One—al Mustafa—over the love of
anyone else, though they be Umm
Kulthum or Maryam.[2]
23. I
swear by Allah! There is no room or space in my heart for anyone but him, for
(my
heart) knows none but the Messenger
of Allah.
24. He pointed to the cloud and it began to
rain profusely, and when he desired for it to
stop it ceased at once.
25. When (the disbelievers of) Quraish mocked,
ridiculed and belittled him, the moon was
split into half for him as a great
miracle and honor.[3]
26. Allah returned the sun for him after it
had set, and when they denied and spoke falsely
of him, the Truth was sent down to
judge (between them).
27. He destroyed the confederates (the army
of the enemies) with a handful of pebbles or
dust! How amazing and wonderful it was when a
handful of sand destroyed (the
enemies)! [4]
28. The guidance of Allah reached many
peoples through the light of his miracles, and
by (means of) the sword (in Qital
& Jihad), Allah guided the criminals.
29. He continuously spread abundant knowledge
and he simultaneously annihilated the
forces of misguidance and error.
30. Thus his message of guidance prevailed upon
the earth—either voluntarily or forcibly-
--upon both the Arabs and the
non-Arabs.
31. (He relented not) until the Deen of
Islam has reached us, along with knowledge and
God-consciousness, therefore gratitude and thanks belongs to
Allah for giving us this
predestined and unavoidable Prophet.
32. And many of us became Muslim and we
have among us (in this Ummah) noble and
righteous erudite scholars and Imams.
33. Among us we have preeminent men (Rijalun
Sabiqun) and with us is the Seal of the
Cardinal Poles--the Mysterious
Treasure (Kanzul Mutalsam). [5]
34. Blessings and peace be upon ‘Ta-Ha’—Ahmad---and
also upon his Family and
Companions, who are themselves the straight
path.
(Harf Dal)
35. I was smitten with the love of the Chosen One—al Mustafa---the Seal---Ahmad, the
source of the universe and being
itself, as well as the father and source of beautiful
character in all of its
implications.
36. His love came to me even before I
knew what love was, and I am burning in the fire
of my intense yearning and craving
for Ahmad.
37. I am attached to him while mankind
is in a deep sleep and slumber, so I am alone
enjoying his love with no one else.
38. Now in this time people are
competing with me (in the love of the Prophet), and I
am in jealous competition with anyone
desiring Muhammad.
39. However, I am before the first of
them and have been most successful of all
generations & centuries by the
(blessing of) Ahmad.
40. And why not? Seeing how the might, majesty and honor of the
servant is the might,
majesty and honor of the king! So the universe has been subdued at the right
hand
of a Black servant.
41. O Messenger of Allah! I place my complaints and grievances before
you, for
surely you see this servant in a
position of ruling.
42. I place all of my needs and the
needs of the Muslim men and women before him,
and he is the medicine of my soul,
therefore I am eternally free (from all others).
43. And I am always cheerful and
bright-faced without any troubles or grief, and I never
experience any sadness, anguish or
sorrow.
44. I begin my days with the best of
those sent forth, and whosoever is with the
Messenger of Allah will never fear
any (other) arbitrator.
45. The Messenger of Allah handles and
takes care of all of my affairs and he has never
failed to help and assist me,
therefore I became a person of nobility, honor &
distinction.
46. Indeed, the care and protection of
the Chosen One—al Mustafa--- is the source and
wellspring of alchemy (‘Ainu
Kaymiya), as by him salty water can become sweet and
palatable.
47. Through his blessing a difficult and
arduous camel became gentle and easygoing, a
date palm tree fully ripened within
a year, and a dried up well became foam-covered
(from gushing forth with water).
48. And Salman al-Farsi [6] was freed
and emancipated due to his intense yearning and
longing for our Beloved, the
(miracles of the Prophet) have no end even if volumes
of books were to be filled up
(mentioning them).
49. In reality, all of the miraculous
feats (Khawaraq) of the Prophets originate with him,
and by means of him they gathered
all of their benefit.
50. Also, the miracles (Karama) of
the Saints derive from him, and by means of him they
receive all of their favors, in
order that they may give thanks and praise to Allah.
51. O Beneficent One (Barr)! O
Sufficient One (Kafi)! By the
majesty and grace of our
Prophet, provide this servant
with all of his desires and grant me guidance.
52. O my Master (Ya Sayyidi)! Be sufficient and enough for us and protect
us from all
malicious and wicked evil which
You have decreed, and help and strengthen us.
53. Allow my attributes to be endowed
with Your Attributes—forever and eternally---
and complete and perfect my esoteric
Gnosis (Kamil li ‘Irfani), as well as my exoteric
knowledge (wa ‘Ilmi), and
guide and lead me to the right way.
54. Show me and those who are attached
to our group (Hizbuna)--(People of Fayda)—
the Path to Truth and Absolute Reality,
forever and eternally.
55. Direct us to the path of
right-guidance and make us leaders of righteous and God-
conscious people (Ahl Tuqa),
and make us a victorious and successful army and
force.
56. Peace and Blessings be upon him who
enhanced and raised high the entire creation,
as well as upon the companions
and the family of Ahmad.
(Harf
Qaf)
57. All of the affairs of creation (Shu’un
al-Khalq)[7]
are from the (comprehensive) affair of
the powerfully well-expressed
articulator (Sha’n Falaqi), therefore I (hand over to
him) my eyes, my breast, my
paper, and my tongue.
58. My pen and my ink is (only used)
in service of his remembrance, because by the
remembrance of the Messenger of
Allah I am (eternally) ascending, advancing and
progressing.
59. He is sublime, honorable,
beautiful and graceful (Jalilun Jamilun) and his character
is the Qur’an. Giver of glad tidings and Warner of Divine
Judgment (Bashirun
Nadhirun), and a reliable and
trustworthy master.
60. My intimate friend who educates,
trains and teaches me (Khalili Murabbi)
(to enter) the two-fold Divine Presence (of the Divine Essence and the
Muhammadan Reality), in order that I may
fulfill the need of a despondent and
disheartened people.
61. I wish (Layta Shi’ri) that
I could fulfill my covenant which I have with him! For
indeed he has a strong and
formidable covenant with me!
62. I swear to him by the Divine
Essence (Halaftu lahu bi Dhat) that I love him with a
pure love, for he is my path
and my foundation.
63. For you are the Mihrab al-Wujud
or Prayer-niche of existence and its face &
meaning, you are indeed the
door to union (with Allah) for those who know.
64. You are indeed the Seal of the
Prophets and no one will ever see a Prophet after
the Chosen
One[8]—al
Mustafa—the majestic man (Al-Qarm Faylaqi).
65. Musaylima[9] the
lying imposter tried to take a share of prophet-hood with him,
which was an apparent
falsehood.
66. And my Lord confirms the truth and
obliterates its opposite, even if the people
of
heresy, atheism and disbelief (Ahl Tazanduqi) are displeased and take
offense
with the light of truth.
67. Indeed (Musaylima the liar) put forth a
strong effort to substantiate his (false)
claim, but my Lord is always victorious
and triumphant over mighty armies!
68. For he (Musaylima) was like the foam
on the ocean and Allah moved and
obliterated his plan, while the
‘Benefactor of Creation’ (Manafi’u al-Khala’iq)
continued to advance and move forward.
69. The people of Quraysh denied,
refuted and fought against the Prophet, but the
‘Sword of Truth’ cut the people
of mischief and wrongdoing to pieces.
70. He eradicated the entirety of
those who denied, contested and waged war against
him, while he helped and
benefited those who accepted and confirmed his
message with the knowledge of
the Truth.
71. The (unbelievers) continuously
ostracized and caused him harm, while he never
ceased to (attempt to) guide
them and treat them with kindness, mercy and
compassion.
72. O my Lord! Cause me to travel on
the path of Muhammad! O my Lord! Help me
against all of my enemies!
73. O my Lord! Help me to achieve and
accomplish this (prayer) and enlighten our
hearts, as well as my
companions, lovers and all of those who make peace with
me.
74. I ask this by the majesty and grace of
the Prophet of Truth and his companions,
may the eternal blessings of
Allah be upon him.
(Harf Lam)
75. Leave me alone with (the conversation
about) Salma and Layla[10], and decrease
or
minimize your mention and
discussion of the stylish braided hair of women.
76. (Leave me) to remember and
venerate him whose mention gained Adam his
pardon, although he was a
descendant (of Adam on the one hand) and also his
origin and source.
77. (Leave me) to remember and think
of him whom the Absolute Reality (Allah al-
Haqq) has never mentioned
anyone else besides him for all of time and ages[11]—
The best of those sent forth.
78. (Leave me) to remember and talk
about him whom my heart is constantly
engrossed and captivated with
whenever he is mentioned (lada dhikrihi), him by
whose remembrance my heart is
smitten and lovesick (muqatala).
79.
(Leave me) to remember and celebrate him whom the heavenly gardens (al-Jinan)
are made sweet and pleasant due to him, and he whom the bright full
moon is
illuminated by.
80. Because if not for him there would
be no creation whatsoever, for he is the seed
of existence (Badhratu hadha’l Kawn)—when
he was sent forth.
81. Had it not been for him I would
not find any pleasure in my life for even a
moment, for a life without the Chosen One—al Mustafa—the Bright Moon, is lost
and wasted.
82. Whosoever is attributed with the
qualities (bi sifat) of the Chosen One—al
Mustafa—will be honored and esteemed in both life and death.
83. The achievements and feats of the
Best of Creation can never be enumerated, so
say whatever you will about
him—but he is the most honored and favored
servant (of Allah).
84. O my Lord! Make me to be his
close, intimate and favorite (Muqariban), and
include my companions, lovers
and whosoever has a bond and connection to us.
85. Make us (all) to be leaders of the God-conscious folk (Lil
Mutaqina A’immatan) for
all of eternity, and to move
smoothly along like rain fall.
86. And soften the rigidity and
hardness of the rebelliously insubordinate and destroy
them, and strengthen the
certainty of my followers (qawi yaqeen al-muqtafeen)—the
illustrious and high-ranking
people.
87. And enrich the impoverished
among those who embrace and support our group
(Ahl Fayda), and save and
deliver all of the believers from trials, hardships and
afflictions.
88. O
my Lord! Continue to elevate them (by means of) frequent & eternal
thanksgiving, for You are
indeed the refuge and shelter of the weak and helpless
(Malja al-‘Ajizeen).
89. O
my Lord! O You Whose army and forces (Junduhu) is always
victorious!
However weak is their
strategy, You are our hope!
90. To You belongs all thanks and
praises forever and ever, as there is no fear or
worry for whosoever takes
refuge, shelter and trusts in You.
91. May peace and blessings be upon
‘Ta-Ha’—Ahmad—and upon his family and
companions and all of those
sent forth.
[1] The Prophet (SAWS) said, “I am the distributer
while Allah is the One Who Gives.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
[2] Umm Kulthum and Maryam are the names of
two of Shaykh Ibrahim’s beloved daughters.
They are both
erudite Islamic
scholars themselves who recite the entire Qur’an daily.
[3] Narrated Anas ibn Malik: “The people of
miracle of the
splitting of the moon.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 6, Hadith 4867).
Allah says in Surah Al-Qamar, “The
Hour
has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder. And if they see a sign, they turn away
and
say: ‘This is continuous magic’” (54:1-2)
[4] Allah says in Surah Al-Anfal, “You
killed them not, but Allah killed them.
And you threw not when you
did throw, but Allah threw, that He might test the believers by a fair
trial from Him. Verily, Allah is
All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”(8:17).
[5] The absolute ‘Seal of the Saints’ (Khatm
al-Awliya) is Shaykh Abu’l Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tijani
(RA,d.1815). He declared himself as such only after the
Prophet (SAWS) informed him of that.
This
spiritual rank is
the highest within the Ummah of Muhammad (SAWS) and it implies that he is the link
(Barzakh) between
the Prophet and all saints, either past, present or future.
[6] Salman ‘the Persian’ was a Black man born with the Persian name ‘Rouzbeh’ in the city of
His search for the true Deen led him to
travel extensively throughout Persia ,
Syria and Arabia ,
where he was
tricked and sold into slavery. Salman was released from slavery by the
Prophet (SAWS), who paid his Jewish
master a stipulated price, and who himself
planted an agreed number of date palms to secure Salman’s
manumission.
After accepting Islam, Salman would say when asked whose son he was, ‘I
am Salman, the son of
Islam from the children of Adam.’. The Prophet once said, “Salman is one
of us, O People of the Family (Ahl Bayt)!” and
he once took the hand of this Black man and
said, “Even if the Deen had been in the Pleiades, men such as these would
have attained it! (Sahih al-Bukhari)
[7] Allah says in Surah Ar-Rahman, “Whosoever
is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him (its needs).
Every day He is (engaged) in some
affair.”(55:29)
[8] Allah says in Surah Al-Ahzab, “Muhammad
is not the father of any of your men, but he is the
Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the
Prophets. Allah is the All-Knowing of
everything.”(33:40).
[9]
Musaylima the liar
was a man who claimed prophet-hood during the time of the Prophet (SAWS). He
sent a letter to the Prophet saying “Good news, I’m a prophet too! So you
can be the prophet of the Hijaz area and I’ll be the prophet of the Najd area.” The
Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) replied with “From
Muhammad the Messenger of Allah to Musaylimah the liar. To proceed. Verily, the land belongs to
Allah, and He inherits it to whosoever He wishes. And the good outcome will
always be for the believers.” This
occurred in the month of Muharram in the 11th year of migration to Medina
[10] Salma and Layla are
the names of women that the Arabs used to commemorate in their poetry, such
as the famous “Layla and Majnun” attributed
to Qays ibn al-Mulawwah:
|
“I
pass by these walls, the walls of Layla, and I kiss this wall and that wall. It’s
not love of the houses that has taken my heart,
But of the one who dwells in those houses.” |
[11] The statement that Allah
ta’ala has only mentioned the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) is an indication of
the fact that all of creation is
made from the light of the Prophet. In a
famous Hadith Qudsi it says, “Were it not for you, I would not have created
creation.” (لولاك
لولاك ما خلقت الأفلاك) In summary: since creation was created for
the benefit of humanity, and since humanity was created to know and worship
Allah, and since perfection of this knowledge, worship and servitude was
made manifest in the Prophet (SAWS), it can rightly be said that he is the
ultimate purpose for creation being brought into existence. This, then, is the classical appreciation of
the “Law laaka” Hadith Qudsi, despite recent protestations to the contrary. O
Allah, shower abundant blessings of peace upon our master, Muhammad; the
paragon of human perfection, the best of all creation.
