QASIDA FI MADH AL RASOOL BY ASMA BINTH SHEHU

Let us for ever thank the King,the Lord of office,

Praise be to the King who created Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Let us for ever invoke blessing and peace

Upon the Prophet who excels all others, Ahmad. صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Accept the song of praise that I shall sing,

Accept, O people, let us praise Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

God has enjoined us all to praise him,

Let us make firm our intention, that we may praise Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

That we may obtain light and radiance of heart,

That we may be cleansed through the praise of the

Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى اللهعليه وسلّم

We beg forgiveness from the Glorious God who gives His

Generosity here and now,

May He give it to us because of the rank of Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

We have prayed for pardon, that He may forgive us,

The generous King, for the sake of the Best of Mankind,Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The best of the best, he excels every other in rank

According to the word of God Almighty, He has raised

Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّمaboveall others,

Heaven is lofty but you know it does not reach

So high as to equal the glory of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The throne of Heaven is beneath him in respect of glory

Because of this glory, our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

His light exceeds the light of the moon on the fourteenthday

Of the month

Because there is no light like the light of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

So also there is no bravery, for no warrior

Equals the bravery of the Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Musk and camphor, you should know, none of them are as fine

As

The perfume of aloes-wood of the body of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

So also in beauty and in stature, none is like unto him,

For nowhere is there the like of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

There has never been created among mortal men the like ofhim

Nor will one like him ever be created, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Thus also in qualities of character which give delight,there is

None like him

In cheerfulness of disposition and the fine smile of Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلّم

As for him, you should know, it is true that he does notbecome

Angry,

Sin alone moves him to anger, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم



Moreover, when he becomes angry none persuade him

Through craving his patience, only by repentance, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Thus also he shows great forbearance towards all men,

Like the rain cloud of the rainy season is the generosity

Of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

God gave him many evidentiary miracles,

The Koran is a real wonder as regards Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The dying of the Persian fire is also real [miracle]

The river of Sawa dried up becauseof Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The walls of Khusrau’s [Palace] crumbled until the Magian

Priests

When one of their number dreamed his dream, knew the

Fear of Ahmad صلىالله عليه وسلّم,

Thus also on the thirteenth day of the new moon that wassplit

In two,

Which al Bukhari and al-Tirmidhi recounted concerning

Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The Koran, you should know, has also spoken of it and explained

It

As his miracle, the Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

One day a tree bent down [to give shade], it was the time of

Afternoon prayer,

Because Ali sought [its help] on behalf of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم







He it was who was mounted on al-Buraq, on a journey there

To heaven

No other has ascended save the Best of Mankind, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

He stroked the goat of Umm Ma’bad and there and then

On account of his miracle she gave milk, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

For him the cloud cast a shade, the she-camel

Brought her complaint the to the Prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The horse of Suraqa became stuck fast in mud, because of a

Miracle

Upon hard rock, for the sake of his rank, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

The speaking of the monitor lizard, by god, is a realmiracle,

And so is the gazelle, for the sake of the Best of Mankind,

Ahmad صلى اللهعليه وسلّم

A dove laid an egg, so said [the pursuer] and explained [itthus

To his companions]

Because of his miracle, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

He gave Uqasha a stick,it became

A dagger there in battle, our Prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

In the vanguard were the angels, they bore witness, youknow,

On account of his miracles, he, the Best of Mankind Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

………………
Both the tears and the sighing of the large tree stump

Were on account of a miracle, because of being separated

From the prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

You know they are many, they are beyond counting

Halima saw many of the miracles of Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

God alone knows them, the One, the All-Knowing,

The King who caused the Prophet Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم to excel over all others

O My Lord, we pray you that we may escape from this world

For the sake of his rank, the Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم,

Likewise, O my Lord, for an easy death,

For the sake of the majesty of our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم,

Thus also the answering of Nakir and Munkar,

For the sake of Best of Mankind, the Messenger,

Muhammad صلىالله عليه وسلّم

O my Lord, we pray you for the comfort of Barzakh,

For the sake of the Best of Mankind, Our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

O my Lord,we pray you for salvation in the Hereafter,

On the day of Resurrection, for the sake of the Best ofMankind, Muhammad صلى الله عليهوسلّم

Concerning the weighing in the scales,

May the good deeds prevail, for the sake of the Best ofMankind,

Ahmad صلى اللهعليه وسلّم

And the receiving of the book, O Glorious God, King, OurLord,

May it be given us in the right hand, for the sake of Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

O my Lord, cause us to enter into the salvation of theProphet صلى الله عليه وسلّم,

For the sake of his rank,the Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

O our Lord,give us to drink of al-Kawthar,

The lake of the Best of Mankind,our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

O our Lord, save us on the Last Day from the fire, take us

To the dwelling of ease, Paradise,for the sake of Ahmad صلى اللهعليه وسلّم

O our Lord, may we see on that Day, the face of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلّم

For the sake of his rank, the Best of Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

O our Lord, may we behold thy presence, the presence of

The king of the Day of Judgement, for the sake of our

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم



Unite us, O king, with all our sheikhs

And likewise our parents, for the sake of the Best of

Mankind, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Unite us with Shaikh Abdul Qadir

The one who will conduct us on the Last day to Our Prophet

Muhammad صلىالله عليه وسلّم

We thank god, now the song is finished

May god accept it for the sake of the Best of Mankind,

Muhammad صلىالله عليه وسلّم

May god for ever place His blessing and peace

Upon the Messenger who excels all, Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلّم

Invoke blessing upon all his family

And on all the Followers, and the Followers of the

Followers of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلّم
