Wishfulness

Wishfulness

Last night I imagined an angel came

and took me by the hand,

we flew together far away

over sea and land.

We landed on a hilltop high

and looked down upon a town

and saw a group of people

with children that played around.

Then came a man dressed in white

whose perfume filled the air

the children stopped their playing

and sat in silence there.

This noble man had a face that shone

talked with words so kind

that tears just rolled down their

cheeks, a dry eye I could not find.

He spoke of Allah, our Creator

and that he was sent to guide

not just to that group of people

but to the world so wide.

I asked the angel "Who is that man

where is this lovely place?"

He told me "Prophet Muhammad,

in Medinah, City of Grace."

He told me that this noble Prophet

had been given the Book so true

that teaches us what's right and wrong

and tells us what to do.

The Book is named "Al Koran"

a Book Allah protects

the Book so fine and full of truth

pure without defect.

Then the angel told me that

it was time to go,

I felt my heart was going to break

I loved the Prophet so.

The angel looked at me with pity

and smiled a gentle smile

so we drifted down the hillside

and stood a little while.

I heard something I'll never forget

that Allah is the only One

that He is Eternal and

does not need a son.

I learned that He has neither

a beginning nor an end

that He is Self-sufficient

and His religion is Islam.

New! Muhammed (saws) New!

What a year was 570 AD

A person was born, a prophet to be

Muhammed (saws) that was his name

People were misguided and thats when he came

He would go on to leave all the idols behind

He is an example to all of mankind

Rabbi al Awwal the 12th, that was the day

He came to this world to show us the way

He was born in Mecca, the holiest place

A life full of challenges he was to face

Abdullah (ra) his father, had by then passed away

Leaving Amina (ra) his mother, in her arms he lay

Haalima Sadia, took over his care

Until he was six, our prophet was there

His mother then died, he was left all alone

Abdul Muttalib (ra) his grand-dad then made him his own

When our prophet was nine, his grandfather died

Abu Talib, his uncle, became his new guide

In his 20's, a merchant Muhammed (saws) became by trade

Al-Amin, (the trustworthy) became his grade

Hazrat Khadija (ra) aged 40, became his bride

He was 25, with her by his side

To the poor,she gave away all her wealth

A dedicated wife in sickness and health

360 idols in the Kaaba, they were at that time

Our prophet realised that this was a crime

He would go to mount Hira,leaving behind his wife

Reflecting and wondering about the meaning of life

While thinking there in the midst of the night

He heard a loud voice which filled him with fright

It was the angel Gibrail(as) who asked him to read

Our prophet couldn't and didnt take heed

The angel embraced him and then asked him later

Read, Read in the name of the Creator

Who created man from a drop of blood

Our prophet couldn't read but at that time he could

Our prophet rushed to the path straight ahead

He heard a voice from the heavens which said

Muhammed (saws) truly you are the messenger of God

Muhammed (saws) was scared and thought this quite odd

'Praise be to God' his wife said instead

''I know you've been chosen as God's messenger' she said

And thus Khadija (ra) became the first woman of islam

And over the next 23 years came the revelation, the Quran

He preached to all people, every creed every race

Yet so many hardships he had to face

There were fears for his life, then the Hijrat took place

He then entered Medina, all by Allah's grace

He was greeted by the Ansaris who gave their salaam

To him and his companians,the Sahaba ikram

Then came the battles, which were fought face to face

Then the conquest of Mecca, Muhammed (saws)'s birthplace

An Nasr was revealed, it's message was clear

Muhammed (saws) knew that his time was near

Everyone gathered to hear his last speech

little did they know how far Allah's message would reach

Muhammed (saws) gave us the miracle the Quran

And now a 1/4 of the world follow Islam

He is our role-model, the best of mankind

And has left the Quran and his Sunnah behind

Read the Quran as much as you can

The words of Allah (swt) for the guidance of man

And follow our prophet's sunnah, when eating and dressing

And send him salutations and many a blessing

He came to mankind to show us the way

And Insha-Allah, we'll meet him, we'll meet him one day
