Delivered by Naveed Ahmed, UK, the poem summarises the major events in the biography of the Prophet along with various descriptions of the his noble character.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lyrics to the poem are as follows:<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born in the year of the Elephant<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even as a child he was special it was evident<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birth of The Prophet mentioned in the Old Testament<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deuteronomy 18:18 that\u2019s your reference<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfectly proportioned the most handsome, most elegant<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impeccable character the most humble and intelligent<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compassionate, considerate in speech he was most eloquent<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even before he was a Prophet he was a man of great eminence<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s ranked number one in Michael Heart\u2019s book most influential<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please refer to the books of Hadith<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to check his credentials<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His message is worshipping Allah alone is essential<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and The Quran and his teachings make up all our fundamentals<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the day of Judgement, we rely on Allah\u2019s mercy and his intercession.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His words pearls of wisdom teaching us valuable lessons<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liberator of women\u2019s rights he was against all oppression<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The English language can\u2019t do justice<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forgive me for my indiscretions<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His face was more radiant than the full moon<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And his sweat smells better than the most expensive perfume<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The light that shone bright like the sun shines at noon<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow his example if you want to be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al Muttaqun<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the pious)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He came to an illiterate nation at a time of desperation<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was a real revolutionary who ruled by revelation<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seal of the Prophets we wish him peace and salutation<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testify he\u2019s the messenger of Allah before our daily congregation<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the Arabs worshipped fire and idols he took them out of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jahiliyya<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ignorance)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those were the real dark ages until people started to see clear<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He faced so many hardships but still he\u2019d persevere<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dawah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the reason why you see me standing here<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even his enemies knew him as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Sadiq Al Amin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (The truthful and trustworthy one)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They tried to assassinate his character when he spread the message of Tawheed (Islamic monotheism)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tried to invite everybody to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sirat Al Mustaqim<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (straight path)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but most rejected his message and didn\u2019t take heed<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every step he\u2019d take was for Allah and his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (religon)<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allah split the moon for the Quraish yet they still didn\u2019t believe<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact they tortured the believers<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a horrid sight it must\u2019ve been<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But imagine the status in Jannah of the earliest Shaheed (martyr)<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They called him a liar, a soothsayer, a madman and a magician<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They couldn\u2019t swallow their pride and let go of their traditions<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offered him power wealth and women<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to stop spreading the religion<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he said even if you offer me the sun and the moon<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I won\u2019t accept your proposition<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They threw animal intestines on the Prophet while he was in prostration<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even stepped on the blessed neck of the best of all creation<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But instead of retaliation he turned to his lord in supplication<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inna Allah Ma As Sabireen <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2:153), <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verily Allah is with the patient<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was boycotted insulted treated like an outcast<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But through the pain and the struggle, he\u2019d still remain steadfast<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s a mercy to mankind it even says in the Quran<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surat Al Anbiya<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> verse 107<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He even lead the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anbiya<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Prophets) in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salah <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before he ascended above the heavens<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he went to preach in Ta\u2019if, yeah, they pelted him with stones<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had blood soaked shoes and he was bruised down to the bone<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jibreel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Gabriel) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alayhi Salam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (peace be upon him) <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">descended and said give me the command<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and I\u2019ll get the angel of mountains to destroy all their homes<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but Allah\u2019s merciful messenger said no and let them be<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the land may one day be home to people who believe<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember these stories in times of difficulty<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And remind myself that The Prophet had it more difficult than me<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even through the slander and the rumours spread by the people of Quraish<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ansar came to know about the Prophets message and his demeanour<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They accepted Islam and vowed to keep The Prophet safe<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So The Messenger Of Allah had migrated to Madinah<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that that time it was known as the city of Yathrib<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He ended their tribal feuds and led the people with justice<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The land of the dates became the most blessed place<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Became an even bigger problem for the people of Quraish<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because their caravans to Shaam were no longer safe<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The believers had a home, Islam had a base<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was content in every situation as it is all Allah\u2019s Qadr<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He even had the help of the angels at the battle of Badr<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He taught us to love for ourselves what we love for each other<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And SubhanAllah he even referred to you and me as his brothers<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I envy the sand that met his blessed feet<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to comprehend how a man could be so humble<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s the perfect example for the likes of you and me<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He even forgave the people that mutilated his uncle<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sahaba became human shields for The Prophet<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he would make Wudu (ritual purification)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They would make sure they catch every single droplet of water that would flow off his blessed body<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their actions proved that they loved him more than anybody<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Islam spread from medina Muslims multiplied in numbers<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idolaters in Makkah feared that their days were numbered<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when The Prophet returned to Makkah he could have taken his revenge<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the people who use to oppress and torment<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He could have captured and enslaved them<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was in a position of power and surrounded by thousands of brave men<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What he did next left the people in amazement<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmatul Lil Alameen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (mercy to the worlds)<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turned around and forgave them<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best leader the best father the best husband the best person<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine how it must have felt to witness the last sermon<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine you were there and lent an attentive ear<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you had to hear that the messenger of Allah<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May not be with you the next year.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, the greatest calamity is when he departed this Dunya<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We show our love for the beloved by following his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunnah<\/span><\/i>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insha\u2019Allah on the Day of Judgment <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We get to drink from his blessed hand<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21st century role model he\u2019s not just your average 7th century man<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May Allah reunite us with him in Jannah<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And save us from the fire of Jahannam<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We love him more than our own selves.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muhammad <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:
