With the blessings and order of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate, the believers rejoice in the advent of His Beloved, His Most Blessed Servant, His Nearest in the Ascent, Muhammad, son of Abdullah and Aminah. May the Mercy, Blessings and Peace of God be upon him and his family, his parents, his wives, his children, his Companions, his relatives, his friends, his followers and those who love him, in this life, the next life and in every time and space.
His coming was the source of glad tidings, not just for human beings, but for all creatures, great and small, even for the Earth and her vast seas and lands, for the trees and forests, for the birds and animals and even the insects in the earth. Not a single creature but rejoiced at his arrival in this plane of material existence, coming from the Divine, by the Divine, worshipping with the Presence of the Divine, here on earth.
His life was the shining sun of perfection, and even in his passing, on the same day as his arrival, he was supreme, the Master of all that is good and holy, the possessor of perfect vision and certitude, the essential lover of God.
Thus have the believers in good and godliness, striven to partake of the sweet honey and fresh water of the manifestations of Divine blessings which descend, willy-nilly on all seekers on the night of his advent, may he be blessed evermore. Inspired by fervent love for his essence and longing for his presence in the circle of devotion, the seekers keep the night lively with his salutations and laud.
O Beloved of God
What moon didst thou appear
shining forth over the desert
and the crashing waves.
Each being and each cell
every atom spinning in
its trance,
rejoiced to hear
the footsteps
of your approach
to this earthly realm
Guide us O Present One!
to the Vision of your visage,
shining with
the light of the One
who made You
the Crown of Creation!
