CHAPTER 3 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's Love for God and Sensitivity for His Oneness 42 ّٰ َّ اَﻟﻠ ﻬُﻢ ِْ ارْزُﻗْىن َ ﺣُﺒَّﻚ َّ وَﺣُﺐ ْ َّﻣَﻦ ِْ ﻳ ﻨْﻔَﻌُىن ﺣُﺒُّﻪ َ ﻋِﻨْﺪَك ّٰ. َّ اﻟﻠ ﻬُﻢ ِْ ﻣَﺎرَزَﻗْىن ُّ ممَِّﺎاﺣِﺐ ُ ﻓَﺎﺟْﻌَﻠْﻪ ﻗُﻮَّة ِّْ ىل ِ ْ ﻓ ﻴ ﻤَﺎ حتُِﺐُّ، َ ْ وَﻣَﺎزَو َ ﻳ ﺖ ِّْ ﻋَىن ُّ ممَِّﺎاُﺣِﺐ ُ ﻓَﺎﺟْﻌَﻠْﻪ ِّْ ﻓَﺮَاrًﺎىل ِ ْ ﻓ ﻴ ﻤَﺎ ُّ حتُِﺐ. "O All a h, bestow upon me Your love and the love of the one whose love, in Your estimation, would benefit me. O All a h, whichever of my favourite things You grant me, make them a source for attaining those things which are Your favourite. And whatever of my beloved things You might take away from me, grant me in their stead things which You love. " 9 Like every lover, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa loved everything associated with his Beloved. He would get his bare head wet in the first rain fall. He would say: "This is the newly descended favour from my Lord, and it brings a whole host of blessings. " 10 The imprint of Tau hi d —Unity and Oneness of God—was visible in his every action and every worship. He would begin the S al a t with the supplication: ُ وَﺟَّﻬْﺖ َِ وَﺟsْ ِ ْ ﻟِﻠَّﺬ ی ٰ ِ ﻓَﻄَﺮَاﻟﺴَّﻤ ﻮات َ وَاﻻْرْض ِ uَﺣ ْ َ ﻴ ﻔًﺎوَّﻣَﺎاَﻧَﺎﻣِﻦ ِ َْ املُْﺸْﺮِک ني. "I have turned my face toward Him Who created the heavens and the earth, being ever inclined to God, and I am not of those who associate gods with God. " [6:80] 11
