Assalamualaikum Rasullullah ﷺ

It is with great honour a heart full of gratitude that I write these words. To be invited to Madina to stand near you even though this distance is an honour beyond anything I can ever imagine.

We are truly blessed that Allah chose you as our Nabi. Your character, your mercy, your patience and your devotion to Allah is unmatched. 

You lived your entire life thinking of your Ummah. Always saying “My Ummah, My Ummah.” Even in your final moments, your concern was for us.

At Taif, when you were hurt and rejected, and chose mercy over vengeance. Though you were wounded.You prayed for guidance for those who harmed you, hoping they would one day say La Illaha Illa Allah. Your forgiveness teaches us what true strength looks like.

Allah honoured you with many miracles, and those who were close to you spoke of your beautiful presence and gentle nature. You were the best of fathers, the most caring of husbands, a just leader and humble servant of Allah.

You mended your own clothes, helped with household chores, and lived a simple life despite being the best creation. You deserved to be known as No 1 in the Guinness book of records. Even Mount Uhud loved you. How ashamed we feel when our hearts don’t tremble enough upon hearing your blessed name.

Ya Rasulullah ﷺ millions come to Madina not to worship you, but to love your presence to send salutations upon you, and to renew their promise to follow your sunnah. Loving you is part of our Iman and to follow your sunnah and walk in your footsteps brings us closer to you Allah. In shaa’Allah.

I love you for who you are and I pray that Allah allows me to live by your teachings, follow ur Sunnah, and be reunited with you in Jannatul Firdaus.
