Love of the Prophet and his Family
by Sheikh Khalid al-Ansari

Love of the Prophet and his Family is my Din, 
my true Madhhab and conviction.
My support in all circumstances 
and forever - certainly I will mot be let down.

The sun is but a part of his light
and the moon is but an aspect of his splendour
Everyone will be perpelxed by his significance
Unable to grasp such a (high) maqam.

Ah, I was being consumed more and more by sorrow,
my state of distress aggravating,
However by praising the Messenger
I have been healed from all pains.

Exalted is the One Who raised him in rank
and increased him in honor and glory
In the darkness (of the night) his Lord carried him
swiftly from the Sacred House.

I offer blesings and greeings of peace
to the Prophet, the guide, from Tihama,
And the noble Family and companions
hoping by them (to reach) a good ending.
