لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ۝


فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝


There certainly has come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers

.

But if they turn away, then say, “Allah is enough for me. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust, for He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.


Surah at-Tawbah (9:128-129)

 

Devotional Poetry of Mawlid Ad-Daba'i


Be present with your hearts, O possessors of deep understanding, whilst I present to you the qualities of the Most Beloved, who received the most honored titles, the Ascender to the Divine Presence of the King, until he looked to His Beauty without obstruction or veil.


When the time arrived for the dawn of the sun of prophethood in the sky of majesty, it was directed by Allāh to Gabriel ع, the chief of the kingdom, “O Gabriel, announce the good news to all creations, from among the dwellers of the earth and the heavens with my congratulations and good tidings.”


“For the chosen light and the secret (of existence), which I created before the existence of all things and before the creation of the heavens and earth, on this night I move him to the womb of his mother happy”


“I fill this world with his light, support him in his orphanhood, and I purify him and his House with the utmost purification.”


So the Throne shook with happiness and delight.


And the Footstool increased in magnificence and greatness.


The sky was filled with a brilliant light, and the voices of the angels vibrated with the recitation of God’s Oneness, praising Him and seeking His forgiveness.


His mother continued to experience a variety of [signs of his] eminence and honor until the completion of her pregnancy.


When the labor pains strengthened with the permission of Allāh (the Creator of All Creations), his mother gave birth to the beloved Prophet ﷺ in prostration thanking and praising Allāh as if he were the full moon in its splendor.


Allahuma salli wa sallim wa barik 'alayhi wa 'ala alih!

The Power of Salawat for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Shaykh Nour Kabbani

Fenton

August 31, 2025

Be busy with salawat on Rasulullah ﷺ. Every time you make one, Allah (swt) will send 10, Rasulullah ﷺ will hear you, and will send salaam back to you. So let your tongue be busy with salawat ‘alaa n-Nabi ﷺ. He said, “Your imaan will not be straight until your heart is straight, and your heart will never be straight until your tongue is straight.” So make your tongue get used to good work, good speech.


Every time there is salawat ‘alaa n-Nabi ﷺ, be part of it. When the salawat begins, people run away, why? What’s out there that’s better than what Prophet ﷺ will send to you from his salaam? His prayer is accepted! When he says “As Salamu Alayka”, Allah will for sure send upon you peace and blessings!
