“The Beloved”

“The Beloved”
 

   I intentionally chose the title “the beloved” to express my gratitude and debt to Sidi Elyasse Elyacobi whose article in the last issue of Mercy magazine; the beloved, inspired the following lines. I must also salute him for the vivid writing through which he took us on a journey of love for our beloved prophet Mohammed peace be upon him. This attempt is but a drop in the sea of love expressed in that article. We ask God the Almighty to increase in our hearts the love of the prophet. To every heart that vibrates with love of the prophet Mohammed, I dedicate this.

Once a Light walked on earth

Guiding mankind to the truth

Showing them the right way

After being led astray

Hearts around him quickly gathered

For he was always kind and trusted

Preaching to them the true faith

Sent down from Allah the merciful, the Great

Loving you oh Rasool-Allah is a duty

For your memory shall last all eternity

Engraved in the hearts of angels and saints

Your love is the key to heavens’ gates

Loving you is not an option

Yet a pillar for faith perfection

You are the guide of creation 

To safety and salvation

Let a touch from your hand heal

A heart that is conflicted with ordeal

Let a glance from you liberate indeed

A soul trapped beneath misdeed

Sins overwhelmed my existence

And deprived me from any resistance

I kneel before you in remorse and sorrow

I seek refuge in your intercession tomorrow

Oh God grant us the bliss of seeing

Whom you made the perfect human being

May Allah guide us to the prophetic path

And spare us from His incurring wrath

                                                                                              Ameen.
