The Jewel Of Creation Poem by Yassar Ali

He is the one who is the twinkle in Abdullah's eye
He is the one who in the final hours will respond to our cry
And He is the one who is Amina's little treasure
Who's praise gives our fragile hearts pleasure
At His birth came from all directions light
Bringing us blind people back our sight
Oh what a day and what a birth it must have been
A baby without an umbilical cord and also clean
On His birth, the first flash of noor He gave out allowed Amina to see as far as Syria
Imagine the sight of the one who's light it is and think about how far He can see and how much clearer
The one who called us towards the light
Spent hours standing in prayer at night
He has been where we haven’t been
And has seen what we haven’t seen
He declined the wealth and the life of ease
For His Lord's sake who He tries continuously to please
Some people say that He is just another
And that we should treat Him like a brother
If that is so then why aren’t we any greater
With our names besides the True Creator?
We unworthy people can’t even compare to the companions even a bit
Yet we want to compare to whom They follow the last and final Prophet
We are pleading for His intercession
With His praise a prized possession
Oh Halima you are honoured for raising the Praised one
Your memory lives on though you are gone but never forgotten
A little longer in this cruel world I’d linger
For a glimpse of His blessed finger
Inshallah we will rectify our mistakes before
Before the angel of death will knock on our door
