Introduction
The cousin of Sayyidina Muammad , al-Abbs ibn Abd al-Mualib said:
And then, when you were born,
a light rose over the earth
until it illuminated the horizon
with its radiance.
We are in that illumination
and that original light
and those paths of guidance
and thanks to them
we pierce through.
ive
The poet of the Prophet assn ibn Thbit said:
(I swear) By Allh, no woman
has conceived and given birth
To one like the Messenger,
the Prophet and guide of his people.
Nor has Allh created
among his creatures
One more faithful
to his sojourner
fiL
or his promise
Than he who was
the source of our light.
In this blessed tradition of our ancestors and the predecessors in the faith (Salaf a-
li), we present this book of magnificent poetry and verse dedicated to the love of
our Master, and Master of All Creation, Prophet Muammad, upon whom be the
Su
choicest of Allhs peace and blessings, and upon his family, companions, House
and followers, up to the Day of Rising.
I humbly dedicate this work to my beloved Master, Shaykh of the Time and
Protector of the Prophetic Path, Cleaver to the Tradition and the Group, Savior of
the Age, and Keeper of the Secrets of Divine Immanence and Prophetic Providence,
Mawlana Suln al-Awly, Shaykh Muammad Nim Adil al-aqqn, with all
my love and devotion.

33 - Words
I try to praise you with words They too must have felt ashamed
But words only veil your greatness
What can one say about you? Everything has been said about you
Can glory be described? Everything which words could say
Yet my love compels me to praise you
I know so little about you Even if with the same words
And yet I stand here amazed
I only saw your veil The words which best describe you
And since then I have no mind Are the words of your Creator
ive
Each word He used to describe you
I try to praise with words Struck down all limits and restraints
But I usually get in the way And you are of a tremendous
And if I is no longer there character
Who would be praising who? And we have given you the fountain of
abundance
I try to praise you with the hope And we will continue to give you until
That I can become you before I die. you are pleased
Will this drop know its an ocean Say if you love Allh then follow me,
fiL
Before it falls in one? Allh will love you ...
Allh and his angels continuously send
I try to praise you with words blessings on the Prophet
As many before me have tried
Though their words are better than mine
