A'INA-E-KAMALAT-E-ISLAM-DAFI UL-WASĀWIS وَاللهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا كَرِدَافَةٍ وَبِهِ الْوُصُوْلُ بِسُدَّةِ السُّلْطَانِ By God, Muhammad is the vicegerent of God, And through him alone can one reach the royal court of God. هُوَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ مُطَهَّرٍ وَمُقَدَّسِ وَبِهِ يُبَاهِي الْعَسْكَرُ الرُّوْحَانِي He is the pride of the pious, the holiest; He is the pride of the spiritual legions of men of virtue. هُوَ خَيْرُ كُلِّ مُقَرْبٍ مُّتَقَدِّمِ وَالفَضْلُ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ لَا بِزَمَانِ He excels all those who are close to God, Indeed the criterion of excellence is a matter of noble deeds, and not the time. وَالطَّلُ قَدْ يَبْدُو أَمَامَ الْوَابل بَطَلُ وَحِيْدٌ لَّا تَطِيْشُ سِهَامُهُ فَالطَّلُ طَلَّ لَيْسَ كَالتَّهْتَانِ Reflect! The drizzle precedes the heavy rain. Yet drizzle is drizzle and rain is rain. ذُو مُصْمِيَاتٍ مُؤْبِقُ الشَّيْطَانِ He is the unchallenged archer. His arrows do not miss the target They are dead set on killing Satan. هُوَ جَنَّةٌ إِنِّي أَرى أَثْمَارَةَ وَقُطُوفَهُ قَدْ ذللتْ لِجَنَانِي He is a garden and I see that his fruits And clusters have been lowered towards my heart. ألْفَيْتُه بَحْرَ الْحَقَائِقِ وَالْهُدَى وَرَأَيْتُهُ كَالدُّرِّ فِي اللَّمَعَانِ I found him to be an ocean of truth and guidance; I found him to be a pearl of lustre and light. قَدْ مَاتَ عِيْسَى مُطْرِقًا وَّنَبِيَّنَا حَيٌّ وَرَبِّي إِنَّهُ وَافَانِي Jesus silently bowed his head and died. As for our Prophet, He is alive, and by my Lord, he has met me. 582
