Ishq-e-Mustafa صلى الله عليه وسلم: December 2015

When the Noble Messenger (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) returned from the expedition of Tabuk in Madinah, his uncle Sayyiduna Abbas (Radi Allahu Anhu) sought permission to recite some lines of poetry in his praise. He replied saying: “Recite, may your mouth remain fresh”.

Thereafter Sayyiduna Abbas began to recite his poetry, inside the Masjid, before the Beloved Messenger (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and the gathering of approximate 30,000 companions (Radi Allahu Anhum Ajma'een) in which he mentioned the transition of our Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) in the loins of the previous Prophets and how he blessed them all, thereafter he said:

“...The day you were born the sun rose over the earth and the horizon was illumined with your noor;

So we – in that radiance and that light and paths of guidance – can pierce through.”
