Readers and friends, muslimin and muslimah..
This post entry is specially for him, Rasulullah.

We once had a teacher,
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better,
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah, we shamed ourselves,
We've strayed from Al-Muallim,
What will we say in front of him,
Oh Muallim...
He was Muhammad salla Allahu' alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind,
Teacher of all mankind.
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
He prayed while others slept,
While others ate he'd fast,
While they would laugh he wept,
Until he breathed his last,
His only wish was for us to be
Among the one who prosper,
Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Mu'allim...
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
(O My Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
(O bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
(O warner O Muhammad)
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
(The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad
(Light of my eye O Muhammad)
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly,
His speech was soft and gentle,
Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled..
Ya Rasullullah, we missed you :')

Yes, this is a lyric (not fully, just part of it), of a song entitled Al-Muallim by Sami Yusuf.
And, although I'm just copying a lyric here, but, it really is how I felt.
I cried everytime I sing this song as it reminded me of him, ya Rasulullah, so much.
And yes, honestly, at first, I thought of preparing an art for him.
But then, I realized, it would be more meaningful if I could just keep on reciting the 'selawat'.
So, lets celebrate today, by reciting the selawat for him, ya Rasullullah.
"Allahumma solia'la saiyidina Muhammad waa'la ali wasahbihi wabaarik wasallim"
"Allahumma solia'la saiyidina Muhammad waa'la ali wasahbihi wabaarik wasallim"
"Allahumma solia'la saiyidina Muhammad waa'la ali wasahbihi wabaarik wasallim"
p/s : for you, who introduced this song to me once a upon a time before, I'm just letting you know that I want to thank you, deeply, for that.
May Allah bless all of you :)
With loves,
Mencari Nur Ilahi
p/s : correct me if I'm wrong anywhere, thank you.
