O, Allah! Send prayers upon our Master Muhammad, the Opener of
what had been closed, the Seal of that which went before, the Helper
of the Truth by the Truth and the Guide to Your Straight Path, and
upon his family in accordance with his grandeur and immense worth.

When the will of the Real (Exalted is He) had been linked to bringing creation
into being, at a time when none of it existed or had existed, our Lord (Majestic
is His Exaltedness) chose the light of the Muhammadan Reality ‫ﷺ‬. He then
ascribed him to the Absolute Presence, honoring him. He then caused the
perfect Muhammadan sun ‫ ﷺ‬to rise as an illuminating lamp. He then created
the Ahmadan spirit as the Great Man. And He made his ‫ ﷺ‬light the origin
of all created beings without exception and the basis for their distinction and
honor. How could that not be the case? When he ‫ ﷺ‬is the focal point of the
circle of distinction and its bright sun, as well as the pride of nobility and its
exalted crown, the source of lights and their illuminated lamp, the treasurer
of the mightiest secrets and the guardian of their sanctuary. He is also the
benefit and purpose of creation, its secret whose brilliance bewildered the
worlds, who was extracted from the choicest descendants of ‘Adnan, the
noblest of ancestors and most honored of descendants from mankind.

Al-Bayhaqi narrated in “al-Dala’il”, al-Tabarani in “al-Awsat”, Abu Nu’aym

in “al-Dala’il”, as well as al-Daylami, Ibn Lalin and others with a chain of
transmission about which al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said in his “Amalihi”, “The
aspects of authenticity are evident in its wording.” ‘A’ishah (may Allah be
pleased with her) narrated from the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬that Jibril said, “I traveled to
the ends of the Earth and I did not find a better man than Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬.
Nor have I seen the descendants of anyone more noble than the descendants
of Hashim.”
Allah extolled the being of Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬,
And permitted him ‫ ﷺ‬a hidden secret in His presence,
 Glad tidings to the one who hears his ‫ ﷺ‬praise and the reveler,
In his love; may Allah bless him and give him peace.

O, Allah! Send prayers upon our Master Muhammad, the Opener of
what had been closed, the Seal of that which went before, the Helper
of the Truth by the Truth and the Guide to Your Straight Path, and
upon his family in accordance with his grandeur and immense worth.

When our Lord, whose Being is holy and whose rule is mighty, willed to
honor the worlds with the brilliant pearl and noble, Mustafaian breeze, He
inspired ‘Abd al-Muttalib, the grandfather of the Chosen One ‫ﷺ‬, who then
proposed to Aminah on behalf of his son Abdullah. On that day, she was the
best of the women of the world in noble descent, beauty, loftiness and worth.
So, he (Abdullah) married her and went unto her. She became pregnant with
him ‫ﷺ‬, and she bore no children besides him ‫ﷺ‬. Amazing things manifest
due to her pregnancy, and rare things at the time that she gave birth to him.
On that night (the night of his conception), a call was made in all the levels
of the heavens and in all the regions of the earth, “Indeed, the hidden light
has settled in the womb of well-protected Aminah. The Throne of the Most
Merciful veiled itself in reverence, the Footstool was furnished with pride,
the Gardens (of Paradise) were decorated and the maidens in its palaces were
beautified. And a call went out, “O, Ridwan! Open the gates to the Garden.
O, Malik! Lock the gates of the Fire.” There was no riding animal, except
that it spoke that night, saying, “By the Lord of the Ka’bah, Messenger of
Allah ‫ ﷺ‬has been conceived. He is the Imam of the world and the lamp of its
people.” There ws no house in Madinah, except that it became illuminated,
nor any region near it except that the light entered it and it rejoiced. The
animals of the east ran to the animals of the west with glad tidings. Likewise,
the inhabitants of the seas began giving glad tidings to each other of the
appearance of the best of those on Earth and in Heaven.
Quraysh had been in an intense drought and a great, extended period of
difficulty. Suddenly, the earth became green from end to end. And much
good came to them. And they all received abundant gifts. That year was
called the year of increase and felicity because in it was conceived the Owner
of the standard and the crown ‫ﷺ‬.

Someone came to Aminah in a dream and said to her, “Do you know that you
have conceived the Master of mankind ‫ ”?ﷺ‬Then, he left her until the time
of her labor approached. Then he said to her, “Seek refuge in the One from
the evil of every envier. Then, when you have given birth to him in glory,
name him Muhammad ‫”ﷺ‬
The nobility of being is through the birth of the Chosen One ‫ﷺ‬,
TaHa, the Messenger of glorious grandeur ‫ﷺ‬,
Send blessings upon him, drawing near to his ‫ ﷺ‬presence,
Perhaps you will obtain the highest objectives.
