Say: If you love Allah, then follow me (the Messenger of Allah), Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Hajj 2007
The Conditions Governing the Statement: There is no god but Allah
In the name of Allah, the Merciful the Compassionate
First: Knowledge (‘ilm) of both its negative and positive meanings.
Second: Certainty (yaqīn) — complete knowledge of it — negating doubt and uncertainty.
Third: Sincerity (ikhlāş) banishing doubt.
Fourth: Truthfulness (şidq) banishing deceit and defending one from hypocrisy.
Fifth: Love (maĥabbah) for this statement and for what it indicates with joy.
Sixth: Submitting to its rights — the required actions — sincere to Allah and seeking what pleases Him.
Seventh: Acceptance of its truth no matter what follows.
Blessedness of the Mawlid
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet: O you who believe! Call for divine blessings on him and salute him with a becoming salutation.
Welcome O Mawlid of the Chosen One breaking forth
Dazzling the intellects with radiant lights.
We welcome your approach wholeheartedly
Bringing good fortune, blessings, and secrets.
O Mawlid of the Chosen One
O Dawning of Lights,
O Mine of Secrets
O Breaking of Dawn,
O Gathering of All Blessings
O Spring of Goodnesses,
O Home of Mercies
O Apex of the Age:
In You the guidance dawns
Like the morning, for mankind;
The souls enlivened with it
As it spreads its fragrance like eternity.
O Season of Good People,
O Joining of the Moons
O Separation of Eternity,
O Mawlid of the Guide:
In You, how many a singer sings;
In You, how many a camel driver chants
For Souls and Minds;
In You, how many rejoice;
In You, how many mend themselves;
In You, how many sing praises of the Prophet
Like shining stars.
O Night of the Birth
O Night of Joys,
O Night of Spiritual Guidance
O Night of Good,
O Story of the Chosen One’s Life
O Best of Evening’s Entertainment,
O Pleasure of Night Companions
In the Most Fragrant of Remembrance.
O Story of al-Kawnain*
O Perfection of the Two Descriptions,
O Beauty of the Two Abodes**
O Highest of Status,
O Flower of the Creator
O Holy Book of the Reciter,
O Guiding Star of the Night Traveler
On land and sea,
O Most Noble of Mother and Father
O Possessor of Honor from Both,
O Ka‘bah of the Haramain
O Rising of the Full Moon,
You are the intercessor
At that Gathering
When mankind is in panic
From the distress of the Reminder.
Allah blesses you
In prose and in poetry.
How individuals are enriched!
O Lord, honor us!
You are without need of us
While mankind is in want.
Send down to us provision
And pardon us gently.
O Lord, let us not fall into wretchedness.
O Causer of Harm,
O Creator of Worlds
O You Who Inspire Iman,
O Far-Reaching of Perfection
O Possessor of the Command.
