I am the slave of the Master of Prophets ﷺ
And my fealty to him ﷺ has no beginning.
I am a slave of his ﷺ slave, and of his ﷺ slave’s slave,
And so forth endlessly,
For I do not cease to approach the door
Of his ﷺ good pleasure among the beginners.
I proclaim among people the teaching of his high ﷺ attributes,
And sing his ﷺ praises among the poets.
Perhaps he ﷺ shall tell me: “You are a noted friend
Of mine, a truly excellent beautifier of my tribute.”
Yes, I would sacrifice my soul for the dust of his ﷺ sanctuary.
His ﷺ favour should be that he ﷺ accept my sacrifice.
He ﷺ has triumphed who ascribes himself to him ﷺ
- Not that he ﷺ needs such following,
For he ﷺ is not in need of creation at all,
While they all need him without exception.
He ﷺ belongs to Allah alone, Whose purified servant he ﷺ is,
As his ﷺ attributes and names have made manifest;
And every single favour in creation comes from Allah
To him ﷺ and from him ﷺ to everything else
~ Imam Yusuf Nabhani Rahmatullahi Ta’ala Alaihi
ﷺ
From Sa‘adat al-darayn fi al-salat ‘ala Sayyid al-kawnayn (The Bliss of the Two Abodes in the Invocation of Blessings on the Master of the Two Universes)
