Blessed Be Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam)


Blessed be Mustafa, mercy for mankind,

God's light, the right way to find.


Blessed be the highest of the high,
The brightest star of prophecy's sky.


Blessed be the sovereign of Ka'aba and paradise,

Who is compassionate, merciful and wise.

Blessed be the hero on the night of his ascension,
The apple of the people's eye in heaven.

Blessed be the splendour of the next world,
Dignity, justice and grandeur of this world.

Blessed be his noble mind,
The most sublime of its kind.

Blessed be the source of knowledge divine,
Outstanding and the last in the Prophet's line.

Blessed be the point of Life's hidden unity,
And also the centre of its visible diversity.

Blessed be Nature's privileged one,
Who divided the moon and called back the sun.

Blessed be the blanket, rich in mystic quality,
Under which the food increased in quanitity.

Blessed be the sovereign, wise and high,
Whose rule extends from earth to sky.

Imam Ahmed Raza Khan

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam)


How can the love of the Beloved Allah be attained without having love for Beloved of the Beloved (Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam}.The best way to have love for our Nabi Sallallahu Alaihy wasallam is to adhere to Sunnah and sending lots of Salutation(Durood).


In Quran Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'la HImself Praises His Beloved( Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam):


If you want to gain the love of Allah, follow him (3:31)
Allah describes him with His Own Attributes of Rauf (Most Kind) and Rahim (Merciful) (9:128)
Allah Himself praises him (33:45-47)
He is a special favour of Allah (Sub’hanahu wa Ta’ala) (3:164)
Allegiance to him is allegiance to Allah (48:10)


About His beloved Prophet's (Sallalahu Alaihy Wasallam) exalted status Quran says :


 He is Nur (Sacred Light) (5:15)
 Allah blesses him (33:56)
 Mercy for all the worlds (21:107)
 His name is Muhammad (Meaning the Most Praised One) (47:2)
 Allah has exalted his Zikr (remembrance) (94:1-4)
 His exaltation on the Night of Mi’raj: his heavenly ascent (53:8-9)
 His Station of Praise (Al-Maqam al-Mahmud) (17:79)


Quran mentions About His(Sallalalhu Alaihy Wasallam) Exemplary character:


 Most examplary character (33:21) (68:4)
 Sadiq (Truthful) (33:22)
 Final judge and arbiter (4:65) (24:51)
 Honoured, Noble (69: 40)
 Forgiving (7:199)
 He is Burhan (Clear Proof) (4:174)

 Alhumdulillah What a lofty stauts Allah Subhanahu Ta'la has blessed our Beloved prophet Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam.I would like to end this post with the very beautiful dua of my friend.


May Allah  give us the true understanding of who our Beloved Nabi truly was. Ameen

Crying before Beloved

“I cry and weep before my Beloved, for that appears well pleaseing to Him
And in both worlds our crying and sorrowful sighs are loved byHim.
Blessed is that eye that cries in the remembrance of the Beloved
And blessed is the heart that is embroiled in His love.
For as long as the babe does not cry,
milk does not flow forth from mother breasts
And as long as the clouds don’t shed raindrops,
the garden does not become green.
From the ‘crying’ of the clouds, the garden becomes green and fertile.
And as much as the candle cries, so much it increases its light.
And where tears flow, mercy prevails.
Allah equates the tears of the sinner in grief
To the blood flowing from a martyr.
Crying and weeping is a great wealth.
And the Mercy of Allah is a great blessing.
The wealth of this world consists of gold and silver.
The capital in Allah’s sight is Love and two crying eyes.”

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

Rabia Al Basri and scholar


A leading scholar of Basra visited Rabi`a al-Adawiyya while she was ill. Sitting beside her pillow, the scholar spoke about how terrible the world was.
In reply, Rabi`a told him:
"You love the world very dearly. If you did not love the world, you would not mention it so much. It is always the purchaser who first disparages what he wants to buy. If you were done with the world, you would not mention it either for good or evil. As it is, you keep mentioning it because, as the proverb says, whoever loves a thing mentions it frequently."

Couplets

Khuda wanda Mohabbat aisi day day Apni Rahmat sy
Karay Akhtar fida tujh per yay dil apna jigar apna


(O Allah ! give such Mohabbat to me From Your Mercy ,
that i will dedicate my whole Heart and soul to YOU)

Whoever knows Me

True love is nothing but drinking the wine of eternity.
In this state, the soul finds life only by dying-
but I wanted things in reverse!

I thought, "First I will know you, then I will die."
He replied, "Whoever knows Me never dies."


Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

When I run to You...

Let me hide in You
From everything that distracts me from You,
From everything that comes in my way
When I want to run to You.


Hazrat Rabia Al Basri
