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 al-Mustafa
none besides him could have been al-Mujtaba
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 al-Mukhtaar
so was he praised by Allah, al-Ghaffaar
The bearer of glad tidings, al-Basheer
leading into light, as-Seeraj-al-Muneer
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 al-muthakkir
He is known in the Qur’an
as al-mud-dath-thir
Only he was given the
honour of Miraaj
Unique was this glory to
Muhammad as-seeraj
He was ad-da’ee illallah hil azheem
al hadi elaa seerauteem mustakeem
His mission complete, he’s held in
great esteem Allah praised him as
bil-khuluqil azeem
May the blessings of Allah be on al-Mustafa
none besides him could have been al-Mujtaba
So perfect were his morals, so justly did he rule darkness
had vanished and the world was full of noor
Balaghal’ulla bikamaalihii
