A'udhu billah mina 'sh-shaytani 'r-rajeem kalimataan khafeefataan `ala al-lisaan subhanallah wa bi-hamdihi subhanallahi'l-`azheem istaghfirullah

Kalimataan khafeefataan `ala al-lisaan subhanallah thaqeelataan fi'l-meezaan wa bi-hamdihi subhanallahi'l-`azheem istaghfirullah

Only a few minutes for Allah to give them endless love and respect to the Prophet (s).  It is the month of his birth.  Today is the first day and as we know that his birth is the birth of Islam.  His birth in dunya is the birth of Islam, but his light was the first to be created and from that is the birth of all creation.

He was and he (s) is still, the Prophet of all prophets.

The beacon of the universe and Paradises,

The ocean of beauty and majesty,

The sky of happiness and love,

He is the perfect servant of Allah (swt)

He is The Servant,

He is The Jewel,

He is The Gem,

He is The Mirror of the reflections of the Divine, to bring the light of heavens on this dark earth.

He is the one that with everyone,

As Allah said, w`alamoo anna feekum rasoolullah, know that the Prophet (s) is within you.

He is the one that will intercede for humanity.

He is the one that can stand in front of Allah (swt), by Allah's permission.

He is the Means for all creation.

He is the Intercessor for all creations.

He is the Light that Allah dresses him with light upon light

He is the Illumination that illuminates the universe

His secrets are in Heavens;

His secrets are in the Presence

His Secrets are in the Divine

His Secrets are like an abundant river,

His Secrets dominate the creation because he is Muhammad Rasoolullah (s)

He is the one that has been brought to the nearness, the nearness that no nearness can reach.  The nearness that he was revealed to him what he was asking for; the nearness that Gibril was unable to proceed; the nearnessof all nearnesses that no one can understand.

His level, no one can understand.

His level, no one can reach His level, neither angel, nor human nor jinn can’t understand.

He is what he is.  Only His Lord knows who He is. And as for us we say he is the jewel of jewels, light of lights. secret of secrets, heaven of heavens, the door to the divine, the way to every seeker, the struggle of every gnostic.

He is the one who Allah created as Mercy for all humanity.

He is The Mercy and The mercy is He.

He is the gifted -Mercy.

He is the undescribed mercy.

He is the joy. And rejoice, O human beings in that mercy of his.

Allah (swt) gave him what He did not give anyone.

Dressed him with what he did not dress anyone.

Loved him with what He did not love anyone like him.

He is and still he is and forever he is for every human beings and for every angel that exists.

He is the honored one.

For him humanity was honored where Allah said: wa laqad karamnaa bani Adaam, Allah honored human beings for the honor of the leader and the light and the prophet of humanity and creation.

May Allah dress us with the endless dresses he dressed his Prophet and keep us with him dunya and akhira and make him intercede for every sin we have done and for every lie we have lied and for every imperfection we have made and for every mischief we have produced, for what we know and don't know.  As You said to him: say to them O Muhammad! laa taqnatoo min rahmatillah.  That means don’t lose hope of Muhammad (s).

O Allah make us at his threshold, at his feet, under his feet, sincere slaves to you and sincere believers in your Prophet.

We congratulate the Muslim world for the birth of the Prophet (s), for his birth is the birth of beauty and the birth of paradises and the light of whatever He created from the light of Muhammad Rasoolullah.

On this night may Allah dress us with the dress of Rabbi`al-Awwal and to be responsible and smiling and sharing and praying.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakutuh.

Kisah Nabi SAW bersama Seekor Kijang

Hajah Amina Adil al-Haqqani QS

Dipetik dari buku Muhammad: the Messenger of Islam 

A'uudzubillaahi minasy syaythaanir rajiim
Bismillaahir rahmaanir rahiim
Wash-shalaatu was-salaamu 'alaa asyrafil Mursaliin Sayyidinaa wa Nabiyyina Muhammadin wa 'alaa aalihi wa Shahbihi ajma'iin 

Suatu saat Nabi SAW sedang berjalan di padang pasir, beliau mendengar sebuah suara tangisan yang memilukan, “Berhenti wahai Nabi Allah SAW!”  Beliau mengikuti arah suara itu dan melewati seorang Arab yang sedang tertidur dan seekor kijang betina telah tertangkap dan diikat di sampingnya.  Nabi SAW sadar bahwa suara hewan itulah yang memanggil-manggil tadi.  Beliau mendekat dan bertanya, “Ada apa denganmu, apa yang kau butuhkan?”

Kijang itu menjawab, “Wahai Nabi Allah SAW, aku meninggalkan kedua anakku di balik pegunungan nun jauh di sana, mereka terlalu muda untuk mengetahui rumput mana yang harus dimakan.  Mereka masih bergantung pada air susuku.  Izinkan aku pergi untuk menyusui mereka dan memberi tahu apa yang telah terjadi padaku.  Izinkan aku menggembalakan mereka dan menunjukkan rumput mana yang harus dimakan, supaya mereka tidak mati saat kutinggal.  Aku akan kembali setelah 5 jam.“

Nabi SAW menjawab, “Bisakah engkau dipercaya?  Bagaimana jika engkau tidak muncul lagi?”  Kijang itu menjawab, ”Maka biarkan hukuman bagi pengkhianat menimpaku.”  Beberapa saat kemudian, orang Badui yang sedang tertidur pun bangun.  Ternyata dia mendengar percakapan antara Nabi SAW dan kijang itu.  Katanya, “Pernahkah engkau mendengar seekor binatang liar kembali setelah sekali dia dilepas?“  Nabi SAW menjawab, ”Yang ini akan kembali, insya Allah.”  Orang Badui menjawab, “Jika dia tidak kembali, maka aku akan membunuhmu!”  Nabi SAW menjawab sambil tersenyum, “Dan jika dia kembali, maukah kamu menerima Islam?“  “Baiklah,” kata orang Badui itu.

Maka mereka pun melepaskan kijang itu.  Kijang pun berlari.  Namun empat jam kemudian, kijang itu kembali.  Nabi SAW berkata, “Engkau berjanji akan kembali setelah 5 jam, namun ini baru 4 jam.  Apa yang terjadi?”  “Wahai Nabi suci SAW,” kata induk kijang, “aku menemui anak-anakku dan aku ceritakan apa yang telah terjadi.  Mereka pun minum, namun kemudian melepaskan lagi supaya engkau tidak menunggu saat-saat yang mencemaskan.  Anak-anakku mengatakan, ‘Kembalilah pada mereka sejam lebih awal, agar orang Badui yang lalai itu tidak mengatakan hal-hal yang menyerang Nabi SAW.’

Mendengar hal ini, si Badui pun langsung memeluk Islam dan membebaskan kijang itu.

Wa min Allah at tawfiq
