SEVENTEEN
O Allah! Send blessings upon our master Muhammad, Your Servant, Your Prophet, Your Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his children and companions by the number of what is in the heavens and the earth and what is in between them. And let Your kindness forever pour upon our affairs and upon all of the Muslims, O Lord of the worlds!
O Allah! Send blessings upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions by the number of that which was, which will be and that which exists in the knowledge of Allah.
O Allah! Send blessings upon the spirit of our master Muhammad amongst the spirits and send peace and blessings upon his body amongst the bodies and send peace and blessings upon his grave amongst the graves and send peace and blessings upon his name amongst the names.
O Allah! Send blessings upon our master Muhammad, Your Servant by whom You united souls who were divided, Your Messenger by whom You illuminated hearts that were darkened, Your Beloved whom You preferred over all other lovers.
O Allah! Send blessings upon our master Muhammad as it ought to be sent according to the greatness of his rank. Peace and blessings be upon our master Muhammad that matches his worth and the extent of his greatness. Peace and blessings be upon our master Muhammad the benevolent Messenger, the trustworthy, the one who is followed.
O Allah! Send peace, salutations and blessings upon the fountain of protection, the beauty of the Day of Resurrection, the treasure of guidance, the most beautifully garbed, the most celebrated of the kingdom, whose speech is a testimony, the intercessor of the nation, the leader of the Gathering, and the Prophet of mercy, our master Muhammad, and upon Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim al-Khalil, and upon his brother Musa al-Kalim, and upon the spirit of Allah, Isa al-Amin, and upon Dawud, Sulayman, Zakariyyah, Yahya and upon their descendants, whenever the people of remembrance remember You and the heedless are heedless of You.
Salutations of Nur ad-Din Ash-Shuni from The Key to Arriving at the Door of the Messenger.
And continual appreciation to the special Ashiq and his family for sharing these photos. They inflame tears of adulation for our master Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
Allahumma Salli ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa anzilhul manzil-al muqarraba Yaum al Qiyaamah
O Allah! Bestow blessings upon Sayyidina Muhammad and give Him a place nearby on the Day of Judgement
He attracts me because He wanted me to be attracted
He sought me because He wanted me to seek Him
He opened a way for me because He wanted me to pass through
He witnessed me because I could not witness Him
He found me to show me that I can never be lost
He is with me because I cannot be with Him
He loves me because He wants me to love Him
His love gave me felicity in my anonymity
He is the vision and I the horizon
I found Him everywhere without Him being there
~ Salallahu ‘alaihi wasallam.
Amazing photographs mashaAllah! May we too be invited so that we can capture these radiant images with our hearts. Ameen!

We are present in the Garden of the Prophet, Seeking acceptance and welcome.
We have come, oh best of refuges! Bowed in humility and bewilderment.
Ask Allah to give us every help, that we may attain our desires at the time debts fall due.
You have a vast power which is beyond compare, and a message greater then any messengers.
You are the door to Allah in every deed. Whoever comes to you, gains acceptance and union.
Every secret which came from the prophet is from your sublimity, confirmed through transmission.
I have looked to the prophets to plead with Allah in my affairs, for he is the accepted intercessor.
All whose journey ends at the house of a generous host, gets what they asked for, even their most extreme desires.
We have given thanks to Allah for every time that he has given us the gift of a visit to the Messenger.
And a visit to all those in Baqi from them companions and the offspring’s of Fatima.
And a visit to every wife and daughter and son of the deliverer of Mankind on the day debts fall due.
And a visit to every martyr in Uhud, and the Uncle of the Messenger.
We asked by them perfect peace for us on our journey to our lord and when we return.
We have sought deliverance on the day of gathering and safety from ignorance.
Our lord, bless the Prophet and his family and companions and the followers.

Assalamu alaikumus Salam Dear Umm Fatimah for these sublime verses, may our love forever be on the increase as we imbibe such words, Ameen.
To see how this part of Masjid Nabawi is for brothers is so moving.
Alhumdulillah Dear Brother Ikramuddin for Allah Ta’ala sending this unnamed Ashiq
The heart indeed overflows Dear Halima Bheti…these photos seem to capture another dimension and through the eyes raise ones Iman. Insha’Allah you will be called again…to mingle in the crowds…which seem almost like Hajj at the moment.
Umm-e-Shiraaz and t…indelibly in my Du’a, as are you all.
Wassalamu alaikum
