Reason of Creation of Universe

God created universe for the love of Muhammad
Created sun and moon for the desire of Muhammad

Said be and was universe, written all from start to end
Recited Quran as a whole, for the glory of Muhammad

All saints had come, to mosque their faces daubed 
Said word of testament, for the noor of Muhammad

Companions had conquered, next ones emulate
Eight heavens laid out, for the love of Muhammad 

At skies birds flied, montanes and stones watered
Trees gave fruit, for the love of Muhammad

Infidels had come, from him they took faith 
Prayed five times a day, for the love of Muhammad

Jonah praised cause him Quran praised
Remember and say Salawat, for the love of Muhammad
