إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

Inna Allāha wa malā'ikatahu yuṣallūna 'alā an-nabiyy; yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū ṣallū 'alayhi wa sallimū taslīmā

Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings upon him and greet him with a worthy greeting.

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

Wa mā arsalnāka illā raḥmatan lil-'ālamīn

And We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds.

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

Wa rafa'nā laka dhikrak

And We raised high for you your remembrance.

وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ

Wa innaka la'alā khuluqin 'aẓīm

And indeed, you are of a magnificent character.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allāhumma ṣalli 'alā Muḥammad wa 'alā āli Muḥammad kamā ṣallayta 'alā Ibrāhīm...

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.

O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad, the ocean of Your lights, the mine of Your secrets, the tongue of Your proof, the bridegroom of Your kingdom.

مُحَمَّدٌ سَيِّدُ الْكَوْنَيْنِ وَالثَّقَلَيْـنِ * وَالْفَرِيقَيْنِ مِنْ عُرْبٍ وَمِنْ عَجَمِ

Muḥammadun sayyidu al-kawnayni wa ath-thaqalayn...

Muhammad is the master of both worlds and of both weighty creations, and of both groups — the Arabs and the non-Arabs.

He is the beloved whose intercession is hoped for, at every terror among the terrors that come suddenly.

Leave aside what the Christians claimed about their prophet, then say what you will in his praise and judge it well.

Know that whoever loves a thing prefers it and prefers to be in agreement with it. Otherwise, he is not sincere in his love and is merely a pretender.

The sign of love for the Prophet ﷺ is to give preference to what he brought over one's own desire.

مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا

Man ṣallā 'alayya ṣalātan ṣallā Allāhu 'alayhi bihā 'ashrā

Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah sends ten blessings upon him in return.

None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his father, his child, and all of mankind.

Listen to the reed, how it tells a tale, complaining of separations — since I was cut from the reed bed, man and woman have moaned in my lament.

The lovers of God are not the water-carriers of this world; they drink from the cup that Ahmad passed around.

Love is the fruit of knowledge. Whoever knows the Prophet ﷺ loves him, and whoever loves him follows him.

The heart is a mirror; the remembrance of the Beloved polishes it until the light it receives is the light it gives.

وَأَحْسَنُ مِنْكَ لَمْ تَرَ قَطُّ عَيْنِي * وَأَجْمَلُ مِنْكَ لَمْ تَلِدِ النِّسَاءُ

Wa aḥsanu minka lam tara qaṭṭu 'aynī...

My eye has never seen one finer than you, and no woman has given birth to one more beautiful than you.

You were created free of every fault, as though you were created just as you wished to be.

He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar.

I have studied him — the wonderful man — and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity.

It was the rigid simplicity of his character, the scrupulous respect he had for the rights of others, that made him the most successful of all prophets and religious personalities.

A silent great soul; one of those who cannot but be in earnest, whom Nature herself has appointed to be sincere.

I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind.
