Bismillah

As-salamu’alaikum wa rahmatullah

Ma sha’ Allah, this is great news! May Allah Almighty reward you manifolds for the beautiful initiative and grant you success, Allahumma amin.

Would it also be possible for SunniPath to relay any Mawlid celebration from the blessed land of Tarim?

Allah yubarik feekum!

Walaykum Assalam,

Jazak Allah Khair for organizing this!

Can we get Habib Umar bin Hafiz & Habib Ali Al-Jifri to talk as well?

Please do let’s have another Talib al-Habib concert soon…

Selections from the Lamiyat al-’Ajam

Pray my Lord and grant Your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad his companions and his family.

Hold awhile and let me tell of marvels that once appeared
Shattering the cage of reason, hubris and contumely.

On his birth a thousand signs shone from East and shone from West
Fragrance filled the earth and air, rebel demons turned to flee.

Can such light once have been not, when another creature was?
Can it be Heaven’s intent not to hail him anciently?

Did the angels not revere, as they bowed to Adam’s form,
He who was the purest heir of covenant and family?

Through God’s justice I am lost, my actions give me away
But His mercy to the worlds proclaims hope eternally.

Though I fear my wayward ways, still my confidence is sure
For his pleading in my case liberates me utterly.

If he does not take my hand, what reliance can there be
On my works and on my prayers, offered so distractedly?

and May blessings rest on Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman,
Those who merited the Caliph’s robes, as did great Ali.

And upon the loyal legions who followed after them
Faithful women, faithful men, peace be on them constantly.
