BismillahirRahmaanNirRaheem….

We Love You ya Rasool Allah,

The world celebrates the name of Hazrat Musa (AS) because he set his people free;

We celebrate the name of our Prophet Muhammed (p) (AS) because he set all mankind free…..

     He freed mankind from the fetters of false gods.

 

We Love You Ya Rasool Allah,

The world was shrouded in darkness,

You brought your Light and dispelled that darkness. 

There were curtains upon curtains upon the consciousness of humankind,

     And the Name of Allah was forgotten,

With your Jamaal, you lifted the Akshaf, 

     ….. the veils…..one by one ….all of them.

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

We knew not how to take the Name of Allah,

You taught us La-Ilaha-Il-Allah,

And from La-Ilaha-Il-Allah came Muhammad Rasool Allah.

 

We Love You Ya Rasool Allah,

We knew not how to treat each other,

We knew not how to treat men or women, young or old,

    And the infant baby girl cried out: “For what crime am I buried alive?”

You taught us how to treat each other,

   —our families, our neighbors, our communities, all mankind.

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah

We did not know what our rights and responsibilities were,

You taught us what our rights and responsibilities were,

     Given to us by Divine writ,

And how to struggle for our rights and responsibilities

…….with justice for all. 

 

We love you Ya Rasool Allah,

When the Name of Allah swt was shrouded in total mystery,

Allah swt said: Kuntu Kunzan Maghfia,

Fa Ahbabtu ‘An ‘Arafa, Fa Khalaqtu Khalqa,

(I was a treasure hidden, I loved to be recognized, I created a reatiion)

Allah created your Light, the first emanation from His presence, 

From your Light was written what there was to write in Luh wa Qalam,

From your Light was created the Aql e Awwal (the First Intellect),

From your Light was created the Qalm e Awwal (the Pristine Pen),

From your Light was created the Kursi (the Throne),

From your Light were created heaven and the earth.

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

Your name AHMED was given to you by Allah swt Himself,

He built Hamd (H-M-D) into your name,

We love you ya Rasool Allah as your name is In constant Hamd,

When you were with Allah, you were AHMED,

When you became a Bashar and came unto us you became MOHAMMED,

And Hamd (H-M-D) was still with you Ya Rasool Allah. 

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

Your name connotes HAMD,

You are in a constant state of prayer,

That is why the Angels were commanded to send their salawat upon you continuously,

Innalaha wa malaikatahu yusulluna alannabi, 

ya Ayyuhal Ladina Amanu Sollu Alaihi wa Sallimu Tasleema.

 

We love you Rasool Allah,

You were the first among the Anbiya,

You were a Prophet ‘when Adam (AS) was between clay and water’,

In ‘Alam e Arwah,

Allah swt assembled all the Prophets together, 

And He asked them,

“I will send My Habeeb, My Beloved AHMED. Will you follow him?”,

And they said in unison, “Yes”. That was Mithak e Risalat.

And you were the last to appear, after all the Prophets.

Each Prophet took a portion of your Light and gave it to the world,

You brought all the Light, the entire spectrum, and you completed it.

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

You took us to Koh e Tur (The Mount of Sinai),

Musa (AS) said: “Arani”! (show Yourself to me)

Came the voice from the heavens: “Lan Tarani” (Never shall you see Me)!

And then, when Musa (AS) had discarded his staff,

Allah sent but a twinkling of His Light on a mountain,

It shattered, pulverized, burnt down, annihilated.

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

You showed us the beauty of Yusuf (AS),

The beauty that reflected Noor e Muhammadi,

The ladies cut their fingers,

So enraptured were they by the Noor. 

 

We love you ya Rasool Allah,

Because of you, the world shines,

Because of you, existence exists,

Because of you the Kayinaat (cosmos) is alive 

And the essence of creation is complete. 

 

So, in this gathering, on this day of Rabbi ul Awwal,

Ya Allah!

The humble ones – all of us – some old, some young and some children,

Are gathered together,

To remember and cherish, 

The name of our beloved Prophet Muhammed (p).

Ya Allah, whatever little offer from our hearts,

With humility, respect and honor, 

In the name of our beloved Prophet Muhammed (p),

Ya Rabb, our Creator and Sustainer, accept it.

And on the Day of Judgment,

When all souls are gathered together, 

Make us benefit from the Light of Mohammed,

Guide us to the company of Mohammed(p),

Towards Maqam e Mahmooda….

Which you promised to your beloved, 

So that he cleanses our souls with his noor (light), 

And present us before Your presence,

 And You judge us with your Rahma, 

And forgive us– forgive us for all we have done. 

AMEEN.
