"Innal llaha wa Malaa'ikatahu Yu salluna allan nabiyi. Ya Ayyuhal lazeena aamanu sallu alaihi wasallimu tasleema."

“Allah and his angels send blessings on the prophet, o you who believe, send blessings on him and salute him with all respect.” [Qur’an, 33:56]

Yaa Nabi Salaam 'alaika
Yaa Rasul Salaam 'alaika
Yaa Habib Salaam 'alaika

Salutations On You, O Prophet
Salutations On You, O Messenger Of Allah
Salutations On You, O Beloved

A Full Moon Rises Over Us
The Other Moon Disappears
We Never Saw The Like Of Your Beauty
O Face Of Gladness

Whoever Sees Your Face, Gets Happiness
O The Kind One To Both Parents
Your Clear And Cool Fountain
Is Our Goal On The Day Of Reckoning

The Knower Of The Secret And Even More Hidden
One Who Accepts Supplications
O Lord Forgive Us All
For The Sake Of All The Good Deeds.

The mawlid eulogy by Imam as-Sayyid Ja'far ibn Hasan ibn 'Abdal Karim al-Barzanji (1690-1766 C.E) Rahmatullahi 'alaih is popular Muslim poetry in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam, universally recited to celebrate his birth (mawlid) on twelfth Rabi' u'l Awwal. It is a poetic biography of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam with his birth as its main theme. And when a Muslim says 'mawlid', every other Muslim knows it is the birth of the sweet beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam that is being referred to. This mawlid eulogy, just like dozens of others, is based on the Holy Qur'an Kareem, Hadith Shareef and books of seerah (history). It is in two parts. The first is Mawlid Barzanji Nathr, a 19 fasl (chapter) history of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam in poetic prose with 355 verses while the second is Mawlid Barzanji Nazm, a similar 16 chapter history in poetic form with 205 verses all of which rhyme with the letter 'noon'.

"When something comes to you, use it for yourself and for others, don’t put the treasures of this world in your heart. You must not be like others. Love is for Allah Almighty, not for this life. You may earn from this world as much as you can; it is free for earning, but you must know that you must leave it one day. The best way is to keep it in the hands, not in the heart. Depthless sorrow is for the one who dies and yet he loves the world’s treasures. No worry if you are keeping the whole world in your hand, but not in your heart."

~Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil Haqqani

Famous Naat "Humko Bulana" Lyrics With English Translation - Naat Khawn Owais Qadri

2008-03-29T08:11:00.001-07:00

Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah
(Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!)
Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah
(Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!)

Kabhi to subz gumbad ka ujala hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perhaps one day we too shall behold that luminous green Dome)
Hamein bulwaein ge aaqa madina hum bhi dekhaein ge
(Our master will invite us to Madina and we too shall see)

Dharak uthe ga ye dil ya dharkna bhool jaae ga
(This heart will beat so rapidly or moreover forget to beat at all!)
dil e bismil ka us dur pur tamasha hum bhi dekhein ge
(We shall behold the longing of our hearts on that doorstep)

Adab se haath baande un ke roze pur khare hon ge
(With our hands held respectfully at his resting place we will stand)
sunehri jaaliyon ka yun nazara hum bhi dekhein ge
(In this way we shall set our sights upon the golden sheaths and we too shall see)

Dar e dolat se lotaya nahi jaata koi khali
(For the one who arrives at the abode of wealth shall never leave empty-handed)
wahan khairat ka butna khudara hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perhaps there we too shall witness this bounty one day)

Barasti gumbad e khazra se takrati hui boondein
(The falling raindrops that cascade upon the green Dome)
wahan pur shan se baarish barasna hum bhi dekhein ge
(The place where rain falls with dignity one day we too shall see)

Guzare raat din apne issi ummeed pur hum ne
(Days and nights have been spent in this very anticipation)
kisi din to jamal e roo e zeba hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perchance one of these days we too shall see that beautiful, graceful soul)

Dum e rukhsat qadam mun bhar ke hain mehsoos karte hain
(The beating of this heart as it leaves those steps I can feel wholeheartedly)
kise hai jaa ke lot aane ka yaara hum bhi dekhein ge
(Some must go and return and this too we shall see)

Pohonch jaaein ge jis din ae ujagur un ke qadmon mein
(We will reach the day when we will appear before his luminous steps)
kise kehtein hain jannat ka nazara hum bhi dekhein ge
(What they describe as a Heavenly sight, perhaps one day we too shall see)

Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah
(Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!)
Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah
(Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!)

With the traditional Muslim greeting of peace, I welcome you to my blog by saying, Asalamu'alaikum!

This blogging thing is quite new to me. Though over the years I have benefitted greatly from other peoples' blogs on the Internet, the thought never crossed my mind to create my own. But alas, I am at a place now in my life, where so much has opened up for me by God's mercy, that I would love to share my thoughts and experiences with others. I am only a seeker. I don't claim to know anything. Au contraire, I wish to learn from all of my brothers and sisters here in the spirit of peace, love and harmony! If you share these sentiments, you are most welcome! Afterall, there is already way too much hate and negativity in this world. I believe doors (and windows) open up for those who keep their hearts and minds open and receptive to others. I'm not saying this is always an easy thing! However, to even be able to agree to disagree is really a very beautiful concept.

With that, please stay tuned... And if not may God's choiciest blessings reach you and those near to you.
