In the name of Allāh,

the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

All praise and gratitude belongs to Allāh who expands the hearts with His re-

membrance and the remembrance of His beloved, the resplendent Messenger.

May Allāh send His choicest salutations and peace upon His chosen servant,

Muḥammad, his purified family, his truthful, faithful and successful compan-

ions, and those who follow and adopt their way.

Allāh, the Especially Merciful, has made the gatherings of His remembrance

and the remembrance of His Messenger and his qualities and character one of

the greatest means of increasing faith, purifying the heart, attaining goodness

and repelling evil. Through these gatherings He has quenched the thirst and

cured the blindness of many and elevated many to high spiritual ranks.

Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan, with the aid of [Shaykh] Riyad Saloojee, has

translated from Arabic into English two short works on the Prophetic Biogra-

phy. These works mention the birth, life and attributes of the Messenger of

Allāh - may Allāh send peace and blessings upon him, his family and compan-

ions – and also contain supplications to Allāh, the Real, exalted is He.

The first book is entitled “The Resplendent Illumination: a Remembrancer of

the Life of the Messenger” and the second, “The Purifying Drink: On the History

of the Resplendent Messenger”. May Allāh reward them abundantly for this

translation; and for the publication of the works in both English and Arabic so

that the non-Arabic speaker may follow the Arabic and understand its meaning.

Their translation is a virtuous and appreciated effort. May Allāh accept it

from them; place great benefit in what they have done; reward abundantly

8

who soever assisted in its publication and distribution -- and grant them by this a

high station in the sight of His Messenger, the Chosen One, Muḥammad, may

Allāh send peace and salutations upon him, his family and companions.

And all praise is for Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

THE AUTHOR

Habib ʿUmar bin Hafiz is the Director of Dar Al Mustafa, a seminary in Tarim, Ye-

men which is regarded as one of the foremost contemporary centres of Islamic edu-

cation in the world. Habib Umar bin Hafiz is well known for his Prophetic lineage

and status as one of the most important scholars alive today. His scholarship and

preaching is highly regarded by Muslim communities from Indonesia to East Africa

to Muslim communities in Europe and North America. Habib ʿUmar also exerts

global influence through his leadership of the Ba’Alawi spiritual and social move-

ment with its roots in Yemen’s Hadhramaut valley. Habib Umar was ranked 33rd

in this year’s list of the 500 Most Influential Muslims published by an interna-

tional group of experts lead under the auspices of the Royal Institute for Strategic

Studies in Amman, Jordan.

Habib ʿUmar founded and runs Dar al Mustafa, a center for traditional Islamic

scholarship that currently hosts an array of international students. He has joined

the ranks of the world’s leading Muslim academics and scholars as a signatory of

‘A Common Word Between Us and You’, a document that builds bridges between

Muslims and Christians.

Habib ʿUmar is noted for his outreach and education efforts and over the past

year has made significant visits to South East Asia, Australia, Spain, Morocco and

now the United State and Canada.

In July 2008, Habib ʿUmar partnered with Muslim Aid Australia as founder of

Yemen-based NGO Al Rafah Charitable Society to address issues of poverty and

hunger and lack of sufficient health care in rural Yemen, particularly the

Hadhra maut region. In December he convened a groundbreaking meeting of

Arabic-speaking ulama from Yemen and the region to address the rise of theo-

logical extremism, calling on influential scholars to return to and promote

theological moderation which characterizes the Yemeni tradition.

FOREWORD

Ad-Diya’ al-Lamiʿ is a poem celebrating the birth of Rasulullah by the esteemed

scholar and spiritual leader, ʿAllamah Habib ʿUmar bin Hafiz.

By Allāh’s grace, the Arab speaking community has benefited from this work.

We pray that its translation brings similar benefit to English speakers. May Allāh

record it amongst our good deeds and, through it, erase all our wrong doings.

The present translation of Ad-Diya’ al-Lamiʿ is based on a previous translation by

our brother, Shaykh Hasan Sidky. The current translators therefore had the benefit

of working from a very competent existing translation. May Allāh reward Shaykh

Hasan in both this world and the next for his pioneering effort.

As translators of this poem, we share the intent of Shaykh Hasan in making the

poem available to a wider English speaking audience. Throughout the process of

translating the poem, every attempt was made to create a ‘reader-friendly’ trans-

lation.

This was, insha Allāh, accomplished in numerous ways: Punctuation was added

to the end of each line of poetry to indicate whether the line concludes a thought

or continues into the next line; a non-literal translation was adopted in instanc-

es where a literal rendition would make the meaning difficult or inaccessible;

where the use of pronouns in the Arabic created ambiguity in the English, names

and places were written in full; a concerted attempt was made to preserve the

poetic thrust of the Arabic in the usage of English words and idioms; a translated

line with an incomplete thought was sometimes placed in the next line to aid for

easy reading and comprehension; and direct quotes from the Qur’an or Hadith

were set off by quotation marks while quotes of purport or meaning, as well as

intermingled quotes that are not narrated verbatim, were set off by symbols < >.

We ask the reader to overlook any shortcomings and errors. Please inform us

of your suggestions and corrections for future editions.

The translation of this mawlid was a labour of love. At every verse, we found

that our attempt to render the beauty and perfection of Rasulullah into lan-

guage was foiled. We found ourselves incapacitated at every turn. We admit that

14

our translation can only be a crude representation of his sublime reality. For this,

we are deeply sorry.

It is up to us – those who read and reflect upon what these words convey of his

reality – to give him his due measure of justice, by bringing his beauty alive in

the deepest, most sincere and sacred space in our hearts. And then we must walk

in both his footsteps and heart-steps.

With Allāh is all success.

O Allāh, send your mercy, peace and blessings upon him and his family

I seek refuge in Allāh from the accursed Satan

In the name of Allāh, The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

Indeed, We have given you, [O Muḥammad], a clear victory. That Allāh may forgive you what preceded of your errors and what may follow, and complete His favour upon you and guide you to a straight path. And that Allāh may aid you with a mighty victory.

There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you, and to the believers is kind and merciful. But if they turn away [O Muḥammad], say “Allāh is sufficient for me; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.”

Indeed, Allāh and His angels confer blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, ask Allāh to bless him and confer upon him a worthy salutation.

All praise is due to Allāh, Who guided us By His chosen slave, Muḥammad, who called us

And summoned us, with divine authority, to Him. “O Prophet – you who directed and inspired us – we are ever-present for your service!”

Allāh, your Creator, confers His Mercy upon you, O Muḥammad. Through you, O Possessor of intercession, He distinguished and favoured us.

(And His Mercy) upon your purified family, the repository of your sanctified secret, for they are vessels of our deliverance and sanctuary.

(And His Mercy) Upon your illustrious companions, the defenders of your religion, the standard bearers of true devotion to him.

(And His Mercy upon) all who follow them with sincerity, for as long as the camel driver spurs onward his caravan with melodies of love and earnest yearning.

By Allāh, never is the Beloved Muḥammad mentioned in the presence of the true lover except that he becomes spellbound with love, enraptured.

Where are the true lovers who find it trivial to sacrifice themselves and all that is precious for the sake of their beloved?

Never do they hear a mention of Ṭaha, the Chosen one, save that his mention clears the stain on their hearts and they are enlivened.

The souls have stirred in expectation and yearning for the meeting with Muḥammad. They are beset by longing and they beseech their Lord for His Pleasure.

Such is the condition of the true lovers, so listen closely To the biography of the One whose intercession is accepted;

Allāh has announced to us, saying: <Indeed, a light has come to you.> How transcendent is He Who informed us!

And the light is Ṭaha – His slave, bestowed by Him as a grace upon us As mentioned in His Reminder, the Qur’ān. How magnificent is He as a Bestower of Gifts!

He, Muḥammad, is the mercy of our Master. Ponder in His word: “Rejoice.” Set out on your journey of happiness with him.

While holding fast to the ever-reliable bond, And seek shelter with the rope of Allāh, Our Originator.

Experience the illuminations of the one who – when asked: “When were you a prophet?” – replied: <When Adam was

Between earth and water.> Awaken from your heedlessness of this, and be mindful.

Pay heed to the secrets within the Prophet’s words <My Lord always placed me in the most esteemed of lineages, safeguarded.

For never did a lineage branch in two except that I was in the nobler line, until the time arrived for my emergence.

For I am the select of the select; I have come Through the chaste lineages of marriage, preserved for me by my Lord.>

Allāh has purified him, preserved him, chosen him, And He has never created a human being of equal compare.

And with his love, his remembrance, his assistance and His reverence – the Lord of the Great Throne has commanded us.

Furthermore, the Divine has further publicized his attributes In the revealed scriptures and has clearly elucidated them to us.

Allāh took a covenant from the Prophets, saying: <What I have given you of wisdom as a benefaction from me,

And then Our Messenger Muḥammad comes to you, you must believe in him, Aid him, and become his ardent helpers.>

The Messengers proclaimed to their people the tidings of the arrival of the Chosen one. How majestic is that as a station and status!

And he, though sent last, will be foremost on the Day of Rising. All the Prophets will walk under the standard of he who called us.

<O Community of Islam! The first to intercede And the first whose intercession will be accepted is me! I will not rest

Until it will be said to me, “Rise from prostration! Ask, you will be given. Speak, you will be heard. For the constellation of your glory has now become manifest.

And the standard of the praise of Allāh, the Transcendent, will rest in my hand. The first to enter Paradise will be me.

I am the most honoured of Allāh’s creation.> Allāh has most certainly endowed you, O Muḥammad, with tenderness from Himself.

Soon your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied. Far exalted is He as a Giver. Our intellects are incapable of comprehending His gifts.

By Allāh, recollect the attributes of Muḥammad time and time again, For they will remove the corrosive stain from the hearts.

When the time drew close for the emergence of Aḥmad By the authority of Him Who wills whatever He wants into existence,

The faithful mother, the daughter of Wahb – for whom the Divine prepared a sublime station – conceived him

From the chosen father, Abdullah, the son of AbdulMuttalib, who saw the evident sign of what was to come.

For the light of Ṭaha suffused AbdulMuttalib’s face, And manifested upon his purified son, Abdullah, for all to witness.

He, Abdul Muttalib, is the son of Hashim, the Magnanimous, the Noble, The son of Abdu Manāf, the son of Qusayy.

Qusayy’s father was named “The Wise,” his station Ennobled. How august such a matter is!

Commit to memory the ancestry of the Chosen one Until you recognize in the chain of his origin, ʿAdnān.

There, halt, and know that the lineage now rises to Prophet Ismaʿīl, who was a devoted helper to his father.

And when Aminah carried him in her womb She did not suffer from anything that usually besets women,

For Divine solicitude from the Lord of the heavens encompassed her And distanced from her all injury, distress and sorrow.

And she saw – as reported – that which caused her to know That the Sovereign Guardian dignified (through Muḥammad) all creation

By the purity of him within her womb – and she rejoiced. And when childbirth approached, she was consumed by contentment,

The illuminations shone forth from all sides, For the appointed birth of the One of accepted intercession was now imminent.

Moments before dawn, she gave birth to the resplendent sun of guidance. The Beloved, ennobled and safeguarded, was born.

Glory (of perfection) to Allāh, all praise to Allāh, there is no deity except Allāh and Allāh is the greatest

And there is no power and no might except with Allāh the Most High, the Supreme; for every glance ever taken, the amount equal to His creations; what satisfies Him; the ornaments on His Throne and the amount of ink (used to write) His words

PLACE OF STANDING

[O Allāh, send Your Mercy upon Muḥammad. O Allāh, send your Mercy and Peace upon him.]

O Prophet! Peace be upon you. O Messenger! Peace be upon you.

O Beloved of Allāh! Peace be upon you. May Allāh’s Blessings be upon you.

Allāh has manifested the Intercessor, The Possessor of the elevated station.

Illumination filled the horizons, And encompassed the entire universe.

The icons of polytheism have been dethroned, And its edifice was rent apart.

The hour of guidance has drawn near, And the sanctuary of disbelief convulsed.

Welcome, welcome O Possessor of the most sublime stature.

O Master of the folk of revelation, The one by whom all evil is repelled,

You are an asylum on the Day of Gathering. To you, all creation will flee seeking refuge.

They address you, saying: “Do you see, What has befallen of unspeakable terror?”

Welcome! O light of my eyes! Welcome! O Grandfather of Husayn.

For the intercession, you will prostrate And be addressed: “Intercede, for your intercession is accepted.”

Allāh has sent His Mercy upon you For as long as there is light with resplendent rays.

And by you, we ask the Entirely Merciful, And the Lord of the Throne is attentive to our supplication.

My Lord, forgive my sins By the blessing of the Guide and the Intercessor.

O You of infinite largesse, Gather us together with the Chosen one.

By him, direct Your Gaze to us. By him, grant us our every wish,

Avert from us all calamities, And repel and remove all afflictions.

O Allāh, send Your Mercy upon Muḥammad. O Allāh, send Your Mercy and Peace upon him.

Quench our thirst, O Lord, and give us succour By a life-giving downpour of rain.

Culminate my life with excellence and goodness, And beautify my aftermath and my final return.

May the mercy of Allāh envelop The one in whom all perfection has gathered–

Aḥmad, the Immaculate, and his family And the companions, for as long as there are rays of resplendence.

The Beloved was born and fell instantly into prostration To Allāh, our Originator and Creator.

The Master’s Divine custody embraces Aḥmad In every moment, hidden and witnessed.

Āmina nursed him, then Thuwaybah And Halimah, whose felicitous fortune was clearly evident.

Thuwaybah proclaimed the good news to her master, Abu Lahab, and he freed her out of jubilation.

Our Creator did not ignore Abu Lahab’s happiness at the birth of the Chosen one And accordingly the hadith has reached us

That his punishment is lightened on every Monday Due to his joy at the arrival of Muḥammad.

This mitigation comes with disbelief – How then about the jubilation of a heart filled with faith?

Halimah witnessed such abundant blessings of Muḥammad That bewilders the intellects.

The milk in her bosom became plentiful for him When before her son would pass his night weeping and famished.

However, the night the Beloved came Her son slept amply contented, satiated;

The udders of her camel became copious with milk; And her lean riding animal became plump – an affair

That her companions disavowed, While the trees and rocks sent their salutations upon our Master.

Moreover, the Beloved grew in exemplary conduct And did not approach any disobedience.

Divine concern attended to him, and the Patron who refined the Prophet’s character Perfected it with unequalled distinction.

He grew up true and truthful, beneficent; with chastity Chivalry and trustworthiness; supportive of goodness;

With resolution, courage, gravity and sobriety; And untold virtues that cannot be enumerated.

Muḥammad, the Trustworthy, was summoned while among the inhabitants of heaven. How truly excellent is the Trustworthy one who the Guardian Lord protected!

His mother travelled with him to visit his father in Taybah, since that was where his father passed away

While the Chosen one still resided in her womb. (For the journey to Taybah), he was now six years of age.

Death overtook her on her return journey to Makkah And AbdulMuttalib then displayed to him love and care.

Two years later, death met AbdulMuttalib And his uncle adopted him, his heart filled with paternal tenderness.

The daughter of Khuwaylid proposed to him at twenty five years of age And acquired in her union with the Intercessor something momentous.

The Master realized her hopes And she attained an exalted salutation and a privileged station.

He resolved a dispute over placing the black stone In the Kaʿbah, where he distinguished

Jibril came to him with revelation from Allāh In the cave of Hira, where he was worshiping the Entirely Merciful.

He embraced him thrice then released him, saying: <Read, and your Lord has taught man.>

He invited to Islam in secrecy for three years And thereafter the commandment came: <Declare, openly, what you have been ordered.>

Persecution and affliction mounted, while he remained forbearing And grateful to His Lord – and he never weakened.

Khadijah and Abu Ṭalib died when he was fifty, And the persecution intensified, manifold.

He came to the Thaqif tribe calling to faith, but they stoned him, And even incited the children to stone him.

The Angel of the mountains came and said: “Should I collapse the two mountains and crush them?” And he replied: “No, I hope for the faith of their offspring.”

The Master took him on the night journey and the messengers prayed behind him, And he witnessed the transitional world (barzakh) and paradise.

The Beloved then ascended to the highest heavens, To the throne, and the pedestal – And saw our Lord.

Permission was granted to migrate to Yathrib And by him, the noble city became resplendent and adorned in grace.

He remained for ten years as a caller and defender of faith, And his companions were his devoted assistants.

They did not raise their voices in his presence, Nor even stare at him closely

Out of reverence and veneration of the status of Muḥammad – for they had certainly read about his virtue in the Qur’ān

and saw striking wonders in his character. And how much of what they witnessed of him bewilders the mind:

Nobility, forgiveness, magnanimity and humility; The palm tree trunk yearned for him in love and tenderness;

The water sprung forth from between his fingers; And the army began their day drinking to satisfaction.

By Allāh, the miracles of Aḥmad were magnificent, And the Guardian Lord exalted the Prophet’s station.

He fought for twenty seven years with the companions – Men who marched as his escort and retinue.

How noble is he, his companions and the successors! O Lord, join us with them in goodness.

I have indeed alluded to the description of the one whose attributes Resuscitate the hearts and inflame the fire of longing.

Allāh has most certainly extolled him So what are our statements of praise in similitude to His?

But it is love established in the hearts that inspire The praise of the purest of Our Lord’s creation.

Now, when we are imbued with the love of Muḥammad, We raise the hands of our destitution and hope

To our Lord, the One, the Unique, the Most High, Petitioning by the one who called us to Him –

His Chosen one, His Beloved, His purest creation, The Embellishment of existence, the one by whom our Lord has favoured us.

Our Lord, Our Lord, Our Lord, By the Chosen one, accept us and answer our supplication.

You are sufficient for us. You are sufficient for us. You are our source of all treasure In this world and in the hereafter.

Rectify our states, forgive our sins, And do not hold us accountable, O Lord, when we err.

Lead us down the way of Ṭaha, the Chosen one, And establish us in treading the path of the Beloved.

Show us, by Your grace, the constitution of Aḥmad, in splendour. May Your Divine satisfaction preserve us.

Strengthen our bond to him in every state, And the bond of those who love and support us,

And those who work goodness, and those who responded to our call, And those who have entitlements over us, and the one who offers us sincere counsel

And those who are present; and those who strive to unite us. Here we are, before you, and truly You see us.

We are truly expectant of Your grace, so fulfil our request. Hear us, by Your grace, O You who hears our supplication.

Use us as instruments in awarding victory to the sunnah of Ṭaha Throughout the earth, and restrain all who aggress against us.

Look upon us with Divine consideration, grant us to drink from the cup of purity, Heal and confer complete well-being swiftly on our ill,

Fulfil our needs, beautify our last moments at the time of death And rectify the consequences of our affairs.

O Lord, gather us and our loved ones In Your abode of Firdaws, O You Who are our only Hope,

By the Chosen one. Send Your Mercy upon him and his family As long as the East Wind sways the branches and boughs.

Transcendent is your Lord, the Lord of Might, beyond anything they describe. And peace be upon the Messengers. And praise be to Allāh, the Lord of all the worlds.

All praise is for the Entirely Merciful who sent His chosen one, Aḥmad, With guidance and the true faith.

He has elected and magnified him from among all creation, And He has not revered and dignified any of the like of Ṭaha.

Therefore, all praise belongs to Allāh, who favoured [us] by him. Through him we are honoured and through him we claim sovereignty and eminence.

He sent him among us by His inestimable mercy, And we have attained an incomparable station.

He elected him – his status is immense – And he is the supreme, resplendent intercessor of tomorrow.

To him belongs the standard of praise. Under its shade are the Messengers of Allāh, And all those who affirm Divine unity.

His position is praiseworthy – and he is Muḥammad (the praised one) – And all praise belongs to the Entirely Merciful, perpetually and for all eternity.

My Lord send salutations upon the Prophet, his household, The Messengers and those who follow their guidance.

Adam, his father, attained distinction through him [Muḥammad], And our Lord made his angels fall prostrate to him.

He [Adam] saw the name Muḥammad [inscribed] on the pillars of the throne Alongside the Divine, and thus the rank of Aḥmad became manifest.

And through Muḥammad did Adam supplicate and Allāh responded: <By the pure child, We accepted (the supplication of) the father.>

He continued journeying through the lineage of the noble, And all of them affirmed the Divine unity of Allāh the Exalted.

Allāh safeguarded (his lineage) with Divine solicitude, Until his noble father, a servant of the Divine, received him.

Āminah carried the Selected one, And this was a supreme and glorious privilege.

She experienced neither toil nor discomfort, And how many signs she witnessed of ever-increasing sublimity!

At the occasion of the birth, contentment descended and political hegemony fell into disarray And so, due to Allāh’s transcendence, flowed Divine largesse without measure.

On a Monday morning, in the year of the elephant, In the month of Rabī’, she gave birth to the sun of guidance.

With a severed umbilical cord, antimony applied to his eyes, Circumcised, resplendent, prostrating to the Sovereign Lord – Muḥammad was born.

Glory (of perfection) to Allāh, all praise to Allāh, there is no deity except Allāh and Allāh is the greatest

And there is no power and no might except with Allāh the Most High, the Supreme; for every glance ever taken, the amount equal to His creations; what satisfies Him; the ornaments on His Throne and the amount of ink (used to write) His words

PLACE OF STANDING

O Prophet! Peace be upon you. O Messenger! Peace be upon you.

Beloved of Allāh! Peace be upon you. May Allāh’s Blessings be upon you.

The illuminations of Aḥmad have become manifest In existence, resplendent.

The heavens and all the lands Are luminous through Muḥammad.

Jubilation and nobility have descended, And largesse that has no restriction.

The mercy of the Entirely Merciful is Ṭaha, Our treasure now and tomorrow –

The day he will carry the standard With those who affirm Divine unity beneath it:

Adam and every Messenger without exception. For him, by Allāh, will be all eminence and distinction.

And the exalted station of praise Will be for him exclusively.

Through Ṭaha we receive nobility, And through him we attain everlasting honour.

O my Lord, gather us together In paradise forever.

O my Lord, forgive my sins By the blessing of the Guide, Muḥammad.

Grant us the company of Aḥmad, the chosen, The resplendent seal of the Messengers.

By him grant us Divine largesse, And, by Muḥammad, be satisfied with us

Assist the truth and its champions With sincerity and solace – that he will be content.

O Allāh, send Your Mercy upon Muḥammad. O Allāh, send Your Mercy and Peace upon him.

May we witness the succour of the banners of your beloved Throughout the entire world.

Despite the opposition of the tyrant and rejecter Who renounces the clear and evident truth

Culminate my life, when I die, With goodness, excellence and certainty of faith.

Send Salutations, my Lord, and Peace Upon the Prophet and his family without end.

The Prophet was born and the idols of the polytheists were dethroned; The truth became manifest, and its echo reverberated.

The temple (of Kaiser) cracked and the fire (of the Zoroastrians) abated. The Entirely Merciful truly ennobled this birth.

Aminah breastfed him, then Thuwaybah, Then Halimah – and all, truly, were completely contented.

The Divine bounties descended upon the house of Halimah. Through him they were granted abundant rain, and attained independence and stature.

Muḥammad grew – trustworthy, truthful and praiseworthy; His character was goodness, magnanimous, excellence without end.

His father died in Tayba while Muḥammad was yet to be born. Muḥammad, the pure, visited his father

When he was six, and upon his return, Death claimed his tender mother.

His grandfather, then uncle, undertook his care, And he journeyed the path of the nobility in resolution, patient and ever-striving.

And Khadija proposed to him when he was twenty five And she realised through the Praised one a lofty station,

The very summit of resplendence. And she sacrificed for him her wealth, Her person, her soul. What a wondrous sacrifice!

My Lord send Your Mercy upon Muḥammad, his family, The Messengers, and all those who follow their guidance.

The revelation of Allāh appeared to him in the cave of Hira’, Wherein he passed days alone in devotion.

Jibril commanded him, “Recite. You are the messenger of God!” And repeated again the request to Aḥmad.

He informed Khadija who embraced Islam, then Ali, Then his dearest friend, the Faithful – all celestial moons of guidance.

He continued conveying the message in secrecy, Then proclaimed it openly, in patience and struggle.

Khadija and Abu Ṭalib died after ten years, And after them he faced ordeal and tribulation.

The Sovereign Lord took him by night to the Furthermost Mosque, And he rose beyond the heavens, in an incomparable ascension.

He passed beyond the Lote Tree of the Furthermost Boundary, And the Lord of the throne graced him with distinction and an exclusive exaltation.

Allāh caused him to see and witness the truth of the Hereafter, The transitional world and the most momentous of signs

The moon split asunder, the palm trunk yearned in longing – And the Qur’an is the grandest sign of the resplendent sun of guidance.

Between his fingers, the sweetest water flowed, And the gazelle and the lizard voiced their testimony.

Allāh has truly esteemed His beloved and you will not see Among creation the like of Ṭaha, Aḥmad.

Allāh has perfected His religion by him, And firmly anchored for its Divine foundations (Muḥammad as) an unassailable fortress.

O Lord, by Your chosen one, the most munificent of intercessors, Set right our states and save us from ruin.

Set straight the affairs of Muslims, pardon them, Manage their every affair, and repel the evil of those who transgress.

O Lord, increase them in unity, be gentle with them, And, through them, assist and aid the religion of the Prophet.

Make us firm and resolute, forgive our sins, And through us, spread the illuminations of guidance in the world.

Look upon us all with Divine consideration, Erase our wrongs in secret and public, and cure us from every ailment.

Gift us true and beautiful certainty in You, protect us, Safeguard our sanctuaries, and suffice us from the evil of hostility.

Fulfil for us all our needs, And increase us – as a gift from you – in the most excellent of virtues, O Magnificent in Kindness.

Conclude our lives with goodness, And unite us with Ṭaha, Aḥmad, in the garden of Firdaws.

And on seats of honour, let us gaze upon his face In the vanguard of the sacred, the ranks of the martyrs.

By his status, O Lord, elect us As the most contented of people, honoured and exultant.

Send your Salutations and Peace perpetually upon him, As long as the East Wind brings bounty, or the camel driver chants his melodies,
