I yearn to follow the scented paths,
where you have been.

To find your Dars,
and be welcomed in.

To push forward to sit with you,
knee to knee.
Where else would a believer want to be?

I long to look upon your blessed face,
If I could only move time and space.

Me the follower, you the Imam.
Worshipping Allah, and living Iman.

Ah! how silent is the lover,
Watching his Beloved being dishonoured.
Amongst a 1000 tyrants ,
He has left his life alone.

Peeping from afar,
Thinking he is safe away.
Exhibition once a year ,
He attends to claim his dues for love.

Sad winds from Madinah,
Tear open the hearts calling out,
Where is the Rumi who distributed the wine?
Where is the Hallaj who in Joy, gave his head?

The flowers have drooped,
And the leaves dried,
The tree of Love needs blood,
But alas! a famine has set in.

Love is that game, they say;
By giving life; which is played.
And victory in it lies
Not in desiring any prize.

Amongst prose and poetry people search,
Lessons of Majnun and Farhad,
Only words do they see,
Alas! Love none sees.

Friend for all the women and men
For the sake of

Grazing his sheep, in green pastures he lay
Staring at the vast canvas of blue
The sky, the clouds, and how they stood up high
Searching the earth to unlock life’s clue

Brought up as a lonesome orphan
At an early age his quest began
Searching for his place
While wondering who created all of earth’s space

As a jewel of the world
His answers soon unfurled
Of gods, there was only One
He who had neither father nor son

Commanded by Him
To bring together kith and kin.
With his call for peace and unity,
He was ordered to put together a moral community

Sent as a mercy to us all
Muhammad captivated and enthralled.
He was an illumination of light,
To the confused wayfarer, he gave sight.

One by one the followers came
With piety and firm conviction,
Never hesitation or shame
Their hearts became alive with true imaan

With his magical touch
Which his wives and sahabas loved so much,
He built upon a foundation
That would lead to a united nation

Whether muslim or kufar
No one can deny
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
Was the best of man

Free from man's corruption,
As an orphan, he was born.
Seeking solace in contemplation,
Lead to the blessed revelation

Oh ath- dhalim
Oh al- mua'lim
Oh beloved shaheed
Oh abd al- majeed

Of the entire human race
Being our leader, was his place
Leading us into submission,
Until this day, we still follow his vision

Oh ath- dhalim
Oh al- mualim
Oh beloved shaheed
Oh abd al- majeed

The message, which sends mountains crumbling
Entered his heart and soul, trembling
Wrapped up in a blanket
For approaching him, he though was death

Oh ath- dhalim
Oh al- mualim
Oh beloved shaheed
Oh abd al- majeed

Across the seven continents
Muhammad (SAW)spread the message, hence,
Mankind was given guidance
And a second chance

Emptiness surrounds Me,
Abounds Me,
Succumbs Me.

Darkness instills its roots,
Ignorance wraps around Me,
Captures Me,
Overcomes Me,
Becomes Me.

Silently I go astray,
Silently I slip away.
From amongst the darkness words speak to Me,
Stretch out to Me,
Call to Me.

I hear the Prophet's sayings,
I hear his wisdom talk to Me,
Console Me,
Calm Me,
Guide me to Me.

I hear the Prophet's words,
I hear his life's struggles
speak to Me,
Rescue Me,
Guide me to Me.

I see the Prophet's life,
A life so perfect, it comforts Me,
Helps Me,
Guides me to Me.

I read the Prophet's words,
I read the struggles in his life,
Struggles made for Me,
To guide me to Me.

I feel the emptiness subside,
I feel the light shine bright,
I feel the rays of knowledge enlighten Me,
Capture Me,
Overcome Me,
Become Me.

I see me walking towards the light,
I am walking towards the light,
It enriches Me,
Brightens Me,
Guides me to Me.

The Prophet's words speak to me,
His words stretch out towards me,
The Prophet's life sets an epitome for me,
His life brings me close to Me.
The Prophet's sayings help Me,
His sayings guide me to Me.

The emptiness subsides,
The darkness turns to light,
The ignorance is undermined,
As serenity surrounds Me,
Knowledge instills its roots,
As I am guided to become Me.

What Allah and His Messenger
intended me to be.

Treat with compassion was the prophet's (pbuh) call
Treat with kindness he reminded us all

Who is most deserving? The question was raised
Who should receive our kindness, our consideration, our praise?

When asked this question first, without pause there was no other
The prophet's (pbuh) reply: "Your mother."

When asked this question second, without pause there was no other
The prophet's (pbuh) reply: "Your mother."

When asked this question thirdly, without pause there was no other
The prophet's (pbuh) reply: "Your mother."

When asked this question fourth and without bother
The prophet's (pbuh) reply: "Your father."

The prophet (pbuh) reminded us of the tenet to heed
Who is significant? First deserving of our good deed?

The prophet (pbuh) established in his Hadith
That Paradise lies beneath your mother's feet.

I pray that I may honor her, care for her with respect
That I follow the prophet's (pbuh) guidance: true and correct

A mother I am too; For Allah's blessings, I thank Him
My children receive my guidance, and my mother, my utmost esteem

A bringer of good news for all creation. A Warner of what was and what will be.
A teacher like non-before or after Taught by the ONE whom elected Him, His decree!

In all things was the elect given high station,
It was meant for Him and Him alone to be so close,
When Jibraaeel stopped at his bound by the lotte tree where NONE may pass
He continued on till ONLY Allah was His host.

For all peoples and all creation He was sent as a mercy.
For the entire universe he was sent as a guiding light.
With his character and morals his love and his beauty.
Creation flocked to him and with this they reached great heights

Awaiting for the final One where the peoples of the book.
With knowledge in there scripture of the when and the where.
In medina and around they saw awaken.
The mercy of Humanity Muhammad Ibn Abdullah

By the authority of Allah the all merciful.
The name, Muhammad is there next to His, so acknowledgment is due!
When we utter the blessed declaration
It is but a pause of breathe that separate the two

From rejection, hate and attacks by the pagans and accursed.
So much pain and suffering was brought his way.
But he knew his lords mercy would overcome and his prayers where answered.
Arabia swayed to him Islam was there to stay.

So blessed are the eyes that see and the ones that saw.
This light giving lamp this man of love and awe.
The Hashemite Qurayashi the noble and most pure.
May we meet Him at his fountain where he will await us all.

Oh Muhammad

From when you were born your face shone bright
From young you were truthful and honest
From a young man on you carried a special light
From all of man your lord created you the best

From your lord you brought his final word
From your lord with love and caring
From your lord you spread it with mouth and not sword
From your lord to all with conviction and sharing

From me I accept and understand
From me I accept you Oh most beloved
From me I will carry your message across sea and land
From me accept my love Oh Muhammad

From beginning to end your name will remain
From beginning to end you have your Lords love
From beginning to end your character will be without a stain
From beginning to end I pray for you love

From now to my end you I will follow
From now to my end you on implanted in my heart like lead
From now to my end life with out you is shallow
From now to my end if you were not in my life I may well have been dead.
