brought mankind out of negligence, gave happiness to the sad, picked up those who had fallen, and brought hearts and souls to life.

On this night arrived he whom Allah made the leader and best of all creation. On this night arrived he to whom Allah granted His treasures; he whom Allah named Raʾūf and Raḥīm. On this night arrived he who is unimaginably generous and giving, and who came to help the needy and take care of the poor.

Tonight is the night we welcome the master of both worlds, our intercessor, the leader of all prophets, the master of all messengers, the beloved of Allah; none other than the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The Prophet’s Companions possessed an amazing level of love and devotion for him. They displayed this love in unique ways, and it influenced and affected every single part of their lives. This love led them to follow the sunnah and give their lives for the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم without a second’s hesitation.   

Yearning to behold the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Before settling in the city of Madinah, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sent his Companion MusꜤab bin ꜤUmayr there - رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. This was so the latter could spread the call to Islam and goodness. When the companion arrived, his efforts led to many becoming Muslim.^[1]

During this time, MusꜤab b. ꜤUmayr was once sat teaching a lesson, which was attended by other Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ. Amongst them was Abū ꜤAbd al-Raḥmān رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ.
