Allahumma Salli 'Alaa Muhammad❤️
Muhammad, the ultimate, true messenger you are.
Your name, when mentioned,causes my heart to race with guilt.
I feel this remorse within me as I don't follow you completely.
This nation of Islam is what you so lovingly built,
Expanded around the world, even though you started it discreetly,
I ask myself, how am I to be of those who mentions your name...
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
My heart skips a beat and my soul awakens, never to be the same..
Muhammad.. Muhammad, my beloved, even though my heart smiles,
My guilt remains,because my heart in reality is unshaken...
Muhammad, you are the blessed one, you portrayed a true lifestyle, persevering,
trial after trial after trial..
and even though you endured so much for us your Ummah, you continued to
smile.
I still believe im Not deserving to be one of those who mentions your name..
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
I know i should commit and not live life like a game,
How i wish to know more about you,to see your enlightened face, and to smell
your splendid scent.
Your personality, you portrayed it so perfectly in the way you interacted,
You are indeed the best of creation, that Allah most High has sent,
People, around the globe, centuries after centuries, hearts are captivated.
In Every city, nation after nation, your praises are sung.. Love transmitted.
I still ask myself, How am I deserving to be one that mentions your name..
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
In your presence, I yearn to be,
I dream of touching your face and Holding your hand.
Your gaze, I long for it to be on me..
I'm a weak follower, I try..
I know I have to work harder for this dream of mine to become a reality..
I will continue to sing praises for you, oh blessed messenger
For I hope it will be a means of intercession for me..
You're the guide, the leader, the blessed teacher
Your LOVE in return, just to feel it, I pray, will be for me in Allah's decree..
Your face, brighter than the glowing moon,
Your skin softer than silk
Your smile, most beautiful beaming with a shimmering light.
Your scent, as pure as heaven's musk.
Your hair, more beautiful than a flowing river.
Your hands, soft in touch yet stronger than strength itself.
Your light, carrying my heart toward your way..
Oh Muhammad, how am i deserving to be one that mentions your name,
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
The streets of Madinah you tirelessly walked,
The clouds of Makkah that shaded you
The trees.. It's branches whirled itself around your blessed body and even cried
out of love for you.
The stars at night glowed and shone for you
The moon, illuminated by your reflection.
More beautiful than you no eye has ever seen!
How am i deserving to be one that mentions your name...
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
How i wish i my eyes could really see you ,
How I wish my heart's love for you would be portrayed within my every action.
This guilt still resonates within me,
for I know I lack in all that I claim in love for you.
How i pray for my actions to be in accordance to my yearning for you.
I ask Allah, to help Me persevere toward a path that brings me closer to you.
My longing for you is a pleasant emotion.
Oh muhammad, my eyes.. are soiled with joyful tears
My heart, contented, happy, and filled with elation
My mind is filled with thoughts of you, encompassing it like an ocean.
For now i continue to send salutations upon you, With certainty that it reaches
your ears.
Oh Muhammad, oh Muhammad
at this present moment, I thank Allah for being one to mention your name..
Sallallahu alayhi wasallam
Blessed is life and earth to have been gifted with you
Ya Allah, Glory be to You, all Praises are For You alone
Thank You Allah for granting us Muhammad,
may Thy peace and salutations always be upon him..
and like his name, which you favoured to be upon Your throne, my hope Is to see
it with my own eyes with him at my side❤️
Muhammad, the final true messenger..
May peace and blessings be upon you.
Allahumma salli 'Alaa Muhammad ❣️
