A Muslim Convert Once Before

‎ بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Sayyidina Hasan ibn Tsabit ( r.a. ) said, on the Mawlid , “And then, when you were born, a light rose over the Earth until it illuminated the horizon with its radiance.  We are in that illumination and that original light, and those paths of guidance, and thanks to them we walk through.”

‎ ‎ بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Sayyidina Hasan ibn Tsabit ( r.a. ), recited this, as part of the funeral eulogy for the Prophet ( s.a.w. ):   “I say, and none can find fault with me, But one lost to all sense: I shall never cease to praise him. It may be for so doing I shall be forever in Paradise, With the Chosen One for whose support in that I hope. And to attain to that day I devote all my efforts.”

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Sayyidina Hasan ibn Tsabit ( r.a. ) said, on the Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w. ):   “More beautiful than you my eyes have never seen! Indeed, no woman can give birth to anyone better than you! You were Created completely free of all defects As if you yourself planned your own Creation.”

So, I was scarcely able to look at him at all.   The lights from his light are drowned in his light, And his faces shines out like the Sun and Moon in one. A spirit of light lodged in a body like the Moon, A mantle made up of brilliant shining stars.   I bore it until I could bear it no longer. I found the taste of patience to be like bitter aloes. I could find no remedy to bring me relief, Other than delighting in the sight of the one I love.   Even if he had not brought any clear signs with him, The sight of him would dispense with the need for them. Muhammad is a human being but not like other human beings.   Rather he is a flawless diamond...
