A poetic tribute to Chief of Prophets (PBUH&HP)

By: Sayyid Thamar

The Seal of Prophets and Chief of Messengers Prophet Muhammad bin Abdollah upon whom be blessings and peace, who possesses a book and a Shari'ah was born fifty-three years before the beginning of the hijra calendar in Mecca in the Hijaz amidst the family of Banu Hashim of the Tribe of Quraysh, who were the most honored of the Arab families. Here is a poetic tribute to him on Rabi`ul Awwal 17 – his birth anniversary:

Muhammad (PBUH & HP), a special person was he,
Something special inside him that everyone could see.

His father died before he was born,
He never wanted to make anyone mourn.

Muhammad (PBUH & HP) was known as Al-Ameen,
The best man the world has ever seen.

At forty, a message he got
from his Lord
to pronounce his prophethood,
All his life, for truth he stood.

He was the seal of prophethood,
People of the Book, in their heart understood.

He established peace and forbid terror,
So that mankind would be nice, without error.

Muhammad (PBUH &HP) was nice all along,
Gentle, yet firm and strong.

In Medina, he established an Islamic state,
Yet, he was humble, and truly great.

When he conquered Mecca, he was not filled with pride,
He gave them security, and peace of mind.

His life is an example for those who are heedful,
Follow him sincerely, and be successful.

Remain stuck to Quran and Ahlul Bayt (PBUT),
This was the advice, he gave to his people.
