Illumination of the Prophet (s.a.w.)

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Habib ‘Umar ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hafizh said, “If we look at the full Moon, we realise that the reason for its fullness is because it is fully facing the Sun.  The degree of the Moon’s completion is according to its facing the source of light.  Likewise, if a believer fully faces the Prophet (s.a.w.), the source of human perfection, then he will achieve perfection.  For this reason, the first group of believers to enter Paradise are described by the Prophet (s.a.w.) as being like the full Moon in their illumination.”
