Prophet Muhammad -Peace Be Upon You

Seal of the Prophets,
chosen by the Hand of God,
you walked among us,
a light in the desert of hearts.
Two billion and more follow your path,
yet still the world longs
for the fragrance of your mercy.

Angel Jibreel descended,
the heavens shook,
your chest was opened,
your heart cleansed with holy water—
a sign for all time:
purity before prophecy,
truth before command.

Orphaned child, yet never abandoned,
for Divine Love wrapped you as a cloak.
At twenty-five, when Khadijah’s hand
met yours in covenant,
you taught us honor,
you taught us reverence—
a woman as the crown of a man’s journey.

Even before the call,
you were al-Ameen,
the Trusted One,
whose truth shone brighter
than the desert sun.
Generous, patient, steadfast,
you became the mirror of God’s will.

O Beloved of Allah,
look upon Gaza, Sudan, Congo—
upon every land of sorrow.
Wash the hearts of mankind again,
as Jibreel once washed yours,
that peace may rise
like dawn after endless night.

The world was blessed
to bear your footsteps,
to breathe the dust you crossed.
And I, a seeker at the edge of time,
bow to the East, whispering—
“Allahu Akbar.
Peace be upon you,
Prophet Muhammad.”
