An Ode To The Messenger of Allah Or An Offering of A Sinner to the Intercessor for the Sinners (sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) by Asif JNaqshbandi-Jama’ati 786/92 Part I. The Creation of the Muhammadan Light and Its’ Journey Through The Generations. Mustafa, the Chosen One, Is so lovely and so fair That none in all Creation Can with him ever compare! [4] As a Prophet for aeons This Light with Its Lord did stay Whilst Father Adam was Still betwixt water and clay.[8] And this Muhammadan Light Did dwell with Allah Most High Ere Moon and stars and sun and Sea; Ere, Throne and Earth and sky![12] It existed ‘fore aught else: Even before Gabriél. And ere the Angel of Death. Ere Michael, ere Seraphel! [16] When at last The Lord, mankind To create He did decide, ‘Twas His wish in Adam’s brow This radiant Light should reside! [20] Thus this secret you should know: When to the Angels ‘twas said, “Bow ye down to Adam” this Light was really meant instead! [24] When Adam to Earth did come This Light in him too was sent. Whence it travell’d from father To son, from loin to loin it went. [28] Thus ‘twas that in this manner Generations did transpire And the Light of Muhammad Pure Abraham did acquire. [32] From the Patriarch this Light To Ismail was transferred. From thence this honour at last On Abdullah was conferred! [36] ********* assalamu alaykum. This sinner has penned the above words as part of a longer project insha Allah. Before I go further any feedback would be appreciated. wa salam
