O Beloved...

O Beloved...

You call to me, infusing me with peace, call with love so pure,
How can I resist the longing, overcome by the tempting lure?
You are an ocean of eternal love, the greatest of gems whom creation adore
Most beloved of our Lord, honoured with His Word, stratus raised
More beautiful than the full moon, radiant, obeying the One who deserves to be praised.
My heart is restless with this overwhelming desire to draw close, to glimpse your pious face
To feel the warmth of your smile blazing, soft with mercy so beautiful; lit with heart-stopping grace.
O our beloved, our tongues wet with sending salutations upon your noble presence, how we long
To emulate your noble character as Prophetic mirrors, noor illuminating with pure light so strong
Striving to attain a station such as your s in Jannatul-Firdous, imploring for your company of light
Your soul free from blemish of sin; elevated so high, your noble soul with purity so bright
You call to me with love so pure, overwhelming with noor; of innocence, Risalah, and sincerity,
Such mercy on hearts yearning for nearness, lowered gazes longing for your ziarah, a vision of piety
Restless, unable to sleep knowing your eyes were closed while your heart was awake, this state
Beyond your ummah, the honour of the seal of Prophecy reserved for you only, Ya Muhammad (s.a.w)
O the one who is praised, the beloved of Allah, His sword and light and best from all creation...

We love you
Ya Rusool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallim...
For you are our Beloved
Ya Habibi; Beloved of Allah...

Every word from your beloved lips is the greatest treasure,
Your radiant smile blazing mercy gives the greatest pleasure.
The sun and moon together cannot hope or even dream to match your beauty
Your lineage and descendants blessed so with nobility and piety.
The sweet fragrance of your skin is like heavenly musk,
Worshipping the Almighty from before dawn till after dusk.
Illuminated, light upon light was the colour of your face
Patient, your every moment blessed with grace.
Mercy blazing, overwhelming, love so pure,
Followers enchanted by your light, which heart can resist to adore?
My hand grips my heart for fear that it would break free,
Longing to be near your beloved presence yearning with sincerity.
For a glimpse of your noble features, thirst quenched from your hand on that Day,
From flowing al-Kawthur, for this honour I beg, I pray.
Your character transforming the world, leaving enemies in awe,
Promised the highest station in Jannah, rich in Iman yet in wealth so poor.
Beloved of Allah, this title one cannot truly conceive
You begged from worldly desires your Ummah would not be deceived
Your life an example for humanity
Every act was a form of worship, every breath veiled with humility
Bringing truth and light to a world of ignorance so lost
Steeped in stench of sins blind to the cost
Out of darkness to light, Allah turned the hearts, guided to His way
Spreading across the world, your struggle so great, known to this day
Bearing the greatest burdens as the mercy to mankind
Such sacrifice, your struggles in-comprehendible to the modern mind.
The best of creation...such an honour you behold
How is it that your nation’s hearts have hardened it to stone, now so cold?
If I could travel to the past for but a glimpse of a tear
That fell from your beloved eyes I would, for O Beloved, you’re held so dear.
Your Sunnah emulated over 1400 years after you left this world, every act
Followed exactly, your words repeated so accurately, others blind to the fact.
Our souls yearn for nearness, for your ziarah; a vision of noor, love and purity so clear
For your intercession on that Day when our hearts shall tremble, souls quaking with fear.
Ya Mu’alim, our teacher who spread the truth throughout an Arabia full of ignorance; deen
Blessed are we to be from your Ummah; this favour sweeter than honey, tears glean
Of gratitude to follow the footsteps of the trustworthy one, the truthful AL-Amin,
The best from all creation, an ocean of love luring the hearts to Jannah, Ya Nabi
Love courses through our veins like blood, so powerful, almost overwhelming, a Walli.
Called by Ar-Rahman as al-Habib; beloved of Allah, the Most Great,
The return to our Lord and your beloved company an honour for which we long, we wait.
Hearts pulled from their place to rest in your mercy; a shining light
Generosity, your life like charity, noor radiating so bright;
Every word from your beloved lips is the greatest treasure,
Your radiant smile blazing mercy gives the greatest pleasure.
The sun and moon together cannot hope or even dream to match your beauty
May Allah bless your Ummah with brotherhood and unity,
Lions falling in faith, failing the Test... Forgive us, and grant us piety
Heedless to the fact that to Jannah, the Shariah and Sunnah are the key
Calling upon His Rahma, Allah’s infinite love and mercy...
We love you, O Beloved Messenger (s.a.w)...
We long to be near
Emulate your way,
Only Allah do we fear
For Firdous in your company we beg and pray,
For mercy, intercession on that Day;
We love you, O Beloved Messenger (s.a.w)...

We love you
Ya Rusool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallim...
For you are our Beloved
Ya Habibi; Beloved of Allah...

I'm sorry... but hmm...

Why is the poem written in that way? is it okay because it's a poem? I didn't think you could call out to anyone besides Allah....

Mind my ignorance, someone clarify.

There's this misconception that to say "yaa rasoolallaah" is shirk/kufr/haraam, when it's not, because you are not calling unto Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam for help, if to say it was kufr or anything then you'd be making kufr in your tashahhud when you say "Assalaamu 'alayka ayyuhan nabi".

So it depends on what's your intention when you say it.

Salaams

Sorry if my style confused you
To sort out any confusions, my intenion was not to call out to the beloved Messenger (s.a.w) in terms of shirk, (ie, seeking help form him or putting him above Allah (s.w.t). It was, on the other hand, to emphasise our love for RusoolAllah (s.a.w) and portray this love that we long to be with him in Jannah inshaAllah, and that we long to become Prophetic Mirrors i emulating/following his sunnah to the best of our ability.

Calling out meant: Sending salaams and Durood upon him, sharing his intention (I intent to have the same intention as the Prophet (s.a.w) had at all times and in every act, thought... ect)

Of course we only worship Allah, and state we only seekk help from him
Surah Fatiha

1:5 إِيَّاك نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين

Iyyāka na'budu wa iyyāka nasta'īn
You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help

Hope this clears up any doubts

Jazakallah khairan for pointing this out, salaams, your sis in Islam...

Do you hav any suggestions as how to prevent others from sharing this doubt? i would like to hear your sggestions, salaams

sis.

I just thought you weren't allowed to do that. =o Alhamdulillah. ^_^
