By Ibrahim Ahmad Katsina
Truly, the world has never witnessed a great event that can be compared to you;
God, the Supreme attest to your honor and humility, and called you a Blessing to Humanity;
You showed love and mercy to humans and animals,
You detest injustice and cruelty;
You established a community and a justice system that have withstand the test of time;
Your hands are open blessed with abundant gifts that;
No one came to you with a need except that you fulfilled it for them;
No one asked you for anything except that you gave it to them;
You never said, ‘No’, except when it comes to violating the sanctity of God, or injustice to humanity;
Despite your noble and majestic position, you chose a life of simplicity and would go hungry so others could eat;
You loved us before we came into this world, and you yearned and prayed for us before we were born;
Words and expression will come to an end but nothing can do justice to your beauty and character;
You are a leader that walked behind your Companions, out of humility and in the defense of their interests;
Your companions loved you more than their own lives; We also love you as much;
Out of love and compassion;
He lived much of his life on milk and dates – and he distributed everything in his home to the poor;
He played with children, showed kindness to women, and honoured the elderly;
You are the Exampler beyond Compare;
Our Rasūlullāh ﷺ was the most handsome of men. He had the most beautiful of voices and the most truthful of speech;
No eye saw anyone greater than him and no mother gave birth to anyone more excellent;
His generosity was so great that it humbled kings;
Peace and blessings be upon our beloved and our interceder – Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ.
My life and my living have no meaning without you, Yah Rasulullah (Sallal Lahu Alaihi wa Sallam)
