A Brief Biography of the Holy Prophet of Islam(S.A.W.)

The State of the World before Islam

When Almighty Allah sent His last and greatest Prophet, Muhammad [s], mankind was immersed in a state of degeneration. The messages of the past prophets had been distorted and ignored, civilisation was on the decline and humanity had slumped into an age of darkness, with disbelief, oppression and corruption rife everywhere. The whole world presented the gloomiest picture ever of human history. Hence, the Qur'an's terming of this chaotic state of affairs as 'Ignorance', or to put it exactly in the words the Holy Book has used 'Jahiliyah'.

Consequently it is incorrect to view 'Jahiliyah' as something of the remote past, for it is quite clear from the Qur'an's terminology that any people rejecting Divine Messengers, turning a deaf ear to the Almighty's revelations and overcome with carnal desires, can aptly be termed an ignorant lot. Therefore broadly speaking, the term 'Jahiliyah' is not limited to any particular era cut can also be applied to all similar societies irrespective of whether they existed in the past or are still found in our contemporary era, the so-called, Space Age.

Accordingly, it is easy to recognise the symptoms of 'Jahiliyah', there is oppression and corruption, because the salient features of such a society are disbelief, deviation, breach of divine commandments, spread of injustice and vices such as usury, drinking alcohol, adultery, gambling, bloodshed, moral decadence, etc. Thus any society in which such perversions prevail is without doubt 'Jahiliyah'.

Such was the sad state of affairs in which mankind lived, before Allah sent them a Prophet, describing him as a 'Mercy for the creation'. The Arabs among whom Muhammad [s] was born were fragmented into a number of heterogeneous tribes constantly engaged in internecine bloodshed. They had replaced Abraham's monotheism with the worship of idols, stars, angels and demons, turning the Ka'aba built for the One and Only Creator, into a pantheon of idols. Tribal rivalries and blood feuds, fuelled among them like the burning desert sands of Arabia.

Ignorance was not confined to the Arabs alone, for on the fringes of Arabia where the desert gives way to hospitable lands, met the ever changing borders of 'World Arrogance', the two superpowers of the age; the Persian and the Byzantine Empires. Both bidding for hegemony over the known world had bled white with wars, and despite their massive territories, it was obvious they were in their death throes.

The fire-worshipping Persians with their strange concept of dualism were further plagued by the still weirder Mazdakite doctrine which advocated communal ownership and went to such an extent as to rule women to be the common property of all men. Like Mani a few centuries earlier, who had claimed a new religion by combining the teachings of Jesus and Zoroaster, Mazdak's movement was also a reaction to the corruption of the traditional priestly class. 

Both creeds had flattered to deceive and died away after the execution of their proponents, who more or less depended on royal patronage. On the other hand the Sassanian aristocracy aligned with the Zoroastrian clergy was steeped in pleasures burdening the downtrodden masses with heavy taxes and oppression.

At the other end was the Byzantine World, which though claiming to profess a divinely revealed religion had in fact polluted the monotheist message of Prophet Jesus [a] with the sediments of ancient Greek and Roman pagan thoughts, resulting in the birth of a strange creed called Christianity. 

Way back in 381 A.D., the Greco-Roman Church council had declared as heresy, the doctrine of Arius of Alexandria, to which most of the eastern provinces of the empire adhered, and in its place the council had coined the absurd belief that God and Jesus are of one substance and therefore co-existent. Arius and his followers had held the belief in the uniqueness and majesty of God, Who alone, they said has existed since eternity, while Jesus was created in time.

Throughout the 5th and 6th centuries the church continued to be racked by a myriad of controversies over its illogical attempts to define the alleged dual (divine and human) nature of Jesus in the light of Greek mythology and Persian Mithraism, the influence of both of which was quite visible on the Christian church. In addition, weirder beliefs like Holy Ghost, Mother of God (Mary) and Trinity cropped up which caused trouble in Syria, Egypt and North Africa, where the Monophysite Christians held 'god the father' to be infinitely superior to 'god the son'. In short, terror, oppression and sectarian persecution were the order of the day in Christendom.

Virtues of the Prophet between glorifying and example setting مناقب النبي (ص) بين التعظيم والتعليم

It would be wrong to look on to the rank of the Prophet through his ideal virtues seeking merely to glorify him in pursuit of his intercession-as it is known among the common people- thus forgetting the purpose for which the Prophet was sent, which is the purification of mankind from the blemishes of infidelity, the inward and the outward. This is not accomplished except by assuming the prophet as an example, not in the sense of attaining the same rank of perfection as the prophet, but by acting like him as far as possible.

إن من الخطأ بمكان ، أن ننظر الى منزلة النبي الاعظم من خلال مناقبه المثلى ، لاجل التعظيم المجرد طلبا : للشفاعة ، او قضاء الحاجة - كما هو متعارف بين العامة - ناسين الهدف الذي من اجله بعث النبي الاكرم (ص) ، الا وهو تخليص البشرية من كل شوائب الشرك : جليّها وخفيّها .. ولا يتحقق ذلك الا من خلال اتخاذ النبي (ص) اسوة وقدوة ، لا بمعنى الوصول الى نفس مدارج النبي من الكمال ، وانما التشبه به قدر الامكان.

What substantiates the possibility of following the prophet’s example to a certain degree are the interesting expressions in Allah’s saying: {You have had a good example in Allah’s Messenger for whomsoever hopes for Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah oft}, because the verse has the expression “Have had” which implies stability and continuity, and the address is for all, as in the word “you”. The verse stipulated, for the ability to follow the example, the belief in Allah without which man could not move, and without motion he would not feel the necessity to follow the example of the symbols of that motion. The verse also stipulates the necessity of the belief in the Last Day without which man will lose the motives for motion, desiring the reward and fearing the punishment.

إن ما يؤكد قابلية النبي (ص) للتأسي به بدرجة من الدرجات ، هي التعابير الملفتة في قوله تعالى : { لقد كان لكم في رسول الله اسوة حسنة لمن كان يرجو الله واليوم الآخر وذكر الله كثير } ، ففيها التعبير بـ ( كان) الدال على الثبات والاستمرار ، والخطاب للجميع بعبارة ( لكم ) .. واشترطت القدرة على التأسي ، بضرورة الايمان بالله تعالى الذي لولاه ، لما تحرك العبد ، ولولا الحركة لما رأى ضرورة للتأسي برموز تلك الحركة .. وكذلك بضرورة الايمان باليوم الاخر الذي لولاه ، لفقد العبد مشوقات الحركة : طمعا في الأجر ، وخوفا من العقاب.

Striking natural changes coincided with the birth of the Prophet, like the cracking of Khisrau’s arch, the nullifying of the sorcerer’s work and the drying of Lake Sawa. All to announce the realization of a new era in the history of mankind, for it is the second striking stage after the creation of Adam. It was also marked by the movement of Satan’s men to change the path. For it was related that Satan’s men had asked him: “ What is it that frightened you o our master?” He said: “ woe unto you, the skies and the earth have changed as of tonight. Then he dipped into the earth roaming it until he reached the Kabba and addressed archangel Gabriel saying: “do I have a share in him?” Gabriel replied: “No”. Then Satan said: “In his followers, then?” Gabriel said: “Yes”. Then Satan said: “ I am satisfied”. The practical lesson from this is that; The more intense the motivation of guidance gets, the more fierce the enemies of the guided men get.

زامنت ولادة النبي (ص) تغييرات طبيعية ملفتة من : انفصام طاق كسرى ، وابطال سحر السحرة ، وجفاف بحيرة ساوة ، لتبشر بتحقق عصر جديد في تاريخ البشرية .. فهي المرحلة الثانية الملفتة بعد خلقة آدم (ع) كما زامنها ايضا تحرك الابالسة لتغيير المسيرة .. فقد ورد أن الابالسة قالوا للشيطان : ما الذي افزعك يا سيدنا؟.. فقال لهم : ويلكم !.. لقد انكرت السماء والارض منذ الليلة ، ثم انغمس في الدنيا فجالها حتى انتهى الى الحرم ، وخاطب جبرائيل قائلا : هل لي فيه نصيب؟.. قال: لا .. قال ففي امته؟.. قال: نعم ، فقال رضيت .. والدرس العملي من ذلك : انه كلما اشتدت موجبات الهداية ، كلما ازداد تكالب الاعداء على السائر في طريق الهدى.

‘Alee (P.B.U.H), the spiritual brother of the prophet (who also brought him up) described the prophet by saying: “Allah has associated with him since he was weaned, His greatest angel who was entering him upon the course of noble characteristics”. Thus, if Allah wanted to do good to a servant of His, He would rectify him by inspiration or association of an angel with him. What then keeps a man from asking his God to direct him by the directing angels, to protect him in his boisterous course of life from deviation and taking the sides of Satans?

يصف علي (ع) أخاه وهو ربيب المصطفى ، قائلا : ( ولقد قرن الله به من لدن أن كان فطيما ، اعظم ملك من ملائكته ، يسلك به طريق المكارم ) .. وهكذا فإن الله تعالى اذا اراد بعبد خيرا ، سدده الهاما، أو إقرانا بملك.. فما المانع من أن يطلب العبد من ربه ، أن يسدده بملائكة التسديد ، ليحفظونه في دورة حياته الصاخبة ، من موجبات الانحرافات ، والارتماء في احضان الشياطين؟

The Qur’an has ascribed to the prophet qualities not ascribed to anyone of the great prophets, by saying that he is: {Upon a mighty morality}. It is not important that a man keeps these qualities when he is alone with himself, rather what is important is that he practices them when he is confronted with contradicting social elements. It was related that a youth came to the prophet and said: “ Do you permit me to fornicate?” The prophet’s companions chided him and spoke rudely with him, but the Prophet wanted to uproot the corruption from the depth of his being when he returned him to his original nature by saying: “Do you like to see your mother or sister fornicated with?” He replied: “No”. Then the Prophet said: “All people are like that!” Then he placed his blessed hand on the youth’s chest and said: “ O Allah, forgive his misdeed, purify his heart and guard his private parts (against committing fornication). Which one of us then has such forbearance to contain perverted behaviour?

إن القرآن الكريم وصف النبي (ص) بما لم يصف به احدا من الانبياء العظام ، وهو انه على خلق عظيم .. وليس المهم أن يمتلك الانسان هذه الصفة في خلوته مع نفسه ، وانما المهم أن يكون كذلك في خضم المواجهة مع العناصر الاجتماعية المنافرة .. فقد ورد انه جاء شاب الى النبي (ص) فقال : أتأذن لي بالزنا ؟.. فنهره الاصحاب واغلظوا عليه ، ولكن نبي الرحمة (ص) اراد أن يجتث جذور الفساد من اعماق وجوده ، عندما ارجعه الى فطرته قائلا له: اتحب أن يزنى بأمك او اختك.... فقال لا .. فقال (ص) : كل الناس كذلك!.. ثم وضع يده المباركة على صدره قائلا: اللهم اغفر ذنبه ، وطهر قلبه ، وحصن فرجه!.. فأي منا له مثل سعة الصدر هذه ، في استيعاب الحركات المنحرفة؟!..

The Prophet’s miracle was not restricted to the splitting of the moon and the movement of the inanimate body but it extended beyond that to splitting the hearts and moving the thoughts. When a nation unique amongst nations in practicing the most despicable act of burying female infants (the most beloved of our blood), turns to be: {The best nation ever brought forth to men}, the likes of the angel-bathed Handhala and Qutada the son of Nu’man who witnessed the battle of Badr and one of his eyes was gouged out in the battle of Uhud when he came to the prophet and said: “I was recently married to a good looking woman and we love each other and I hate her to see me in this form”. Then the Prophet put it back into its place saying: “O Allah, cover him with your grace.”

لم تنحصر معجزة النبي الاكرم (ص) في فلق القمر وحركة الجماد ، وانما تعدت الى فلق القلوب ، وحركة الافكار.. واذا بأمة تنفرد بين الامم بأرذل خصلة ( الا وهي وأد البنت وهي من احب فلذات اكبادنا) لتتحول الى خير امة اخرجت للناس ، امثال : حنظلة غسيل الملائكة ، وقتادة بن النعمان الذي شهد بدرا ، وفقئت عينه يوم احد فجاء الى رسول الله (ص) فقال: ان لي امرأة جميلة ، احبها وتحبني ، واني جديد عرس ، فاكره أن تراني بهذه الهيئة .. فأخذها النبي (ص) ووضعها في مكانها قائلا: اللهم اكسه الجمال !..

***********

Prophet with People

"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and harsh-hearted, they would have dispersed from round about you" The noble Qur'an, A'al-Umran(3):159

Even with all of his concerns and obligations, Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) never became unmindful of his people. He had a special place in his heart for each one of them and he was known among them for his soft-spokenness, his generosity, his tolerance, and his friendliness.

He would joke with his companions, sit and talk with them, play with their children and sit them on his knee. He would respond to the call of the free man or the slave, or the young girl or the poor. He would visit the sick on the opposite end of the city and he would attend their funerals. He would accept the people's apologies and their excuses, and he was the most humble among them.

Abdullah ibn Al-Haritha narrated:

"I have never seen anyone who smiled more continuously than the Messenger of Allah (s.a.a.w.)" (Narrated by Al-Tirmathi)

Usamah ibn Zayd narrated:

"The daughter of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) sent (a messenger) to the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) requesting him to come as her child was dying. However, the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greeting to her and say: "Whatever Allah takes is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him. Everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world) and so she should be patient and hope for Allah's reward." 

She again sent for him, swearing that he should come. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) stood up, and so did Sa'id ibn Ubadah, Mu'ath ibn Jabal, Ubay ibn Ka'ab , Zayd ibn Thabit and some other men. [When he arrived,] the child was brought to Allah's Apostle (s.a.a.w.), his chest heaving. On that the eyes of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) began shedding tears. Sa'd said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is this?" He replied, "It is mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts of His slaves, and Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) as a Witness

Allah T'ala sent the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) as شَاهِدً

Allah T'ala says in the Holy Quran:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

O Prophet, We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of good news and a warner. (33:45)

The meaning of the Prophet's being a "witness" is very vast. It includes three kinds of evidence:

(1) Verbal evidence, i.e. the Prophet should bear out the truth of the realities and principles on which Allah's Religion is based and tell the world plainly that they are the truth and all that is opposed to them is falsehood. He should rise to proclaim without hesitation and fear the Being of Allah and His Unity, the existence of the angels, the corning down of Revelation, the occurrence of life-after-death, the Hell and Heaven, all are realities, even if they appear strange to the world, and the people mock the one presenting them, or call him a madman. 

Likewise, the Prophet should openly present before the people the concepts, values, principles and rules pertaining to morality and civilization and social life that God has revealed to him, and reject as wrong all the concepts and ways which are prevalent and are opposed to them, even if the whole world rejects them as wrong and violates them in practice. Similarly, the Prophet should proclaim as lawful what is lawful in Allah's Law even if the whole world regards it as unlawful, and should proclaim as unlawful whatever is unlawful in Allah's Law even if the world regards it as lawful and pure.

(2) Practical evidence: That is, the Prophet in his own life should practically demonstrate all that he has been commissioned to present before the world. His life should be free from every shade of that which he calls evil, and his own character should clearly reflect that which he calls good; he should be the foremost in carrying out what he regards as obligatory, and most cautious in refraining from what he calls sinful. 

Kindness to Animals

The Prophet (pbuh) not only preached to the people to show kindness to each other but also to all living souls. He forbade the practice of cutting tails and manes of horses, of branding animals at any soft spot, and of keeping horses saddled unnecessarily. [Sahih Muslim] If he saw any animal over-loaded or Milad he would pull up the owner and say,

"Fear Allah in your treatment of animals." [Abu Dawood]

A companion came to him with the young ones of a bird in his sheet and said that the mother bird had hovered over them all along. He was directed to replace her offspring in the same bush (Mishkat, Abu Dawood)

During a journey, somebody picked up some birds eggs. The bird's painful note and fluttering attracted the attention of the Prophet (pbuh), who asked the man to replace the eggs. [Sahih Bukhari]

Justice of the Prophet

Justice of the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)

The Prophet (pbuh) asked people to be just and kind. As the supreme judge and arbiter, as the leader of men, as generalissimo [head commander and chief] of a rising power, as a reformer and apostle, he had always to deal with men and their affairs. He had often to deal with mutually inimical and warring tribes when showing justice to one carried the danger of antagonizing the other, and yet he never deviated from the path of justice. In administering justice, he made no distinction between believers and nonbelievers, friends and foes, high and low. From numerous instances reported in the traditions, a few are given below.

Sakhar, a chief of a tribe, had helped Muhammad (pbuh) greatly in the siege of Taif, for which he was naturally obliged to him. Soon after, two charges were brought against Sakhar: one by Mughira of illegal confinement of his (Mughira's) aunt and the other by Banu Salim of forcible occupation of his spring by Sakhar. In both cases, he decided against Sakhar and made him undo the wrong. [Abu Dawud]

Abdullah Bin Sahal, a companion, was deputized to collect rent from Jews of Khaibar. His cousin Mahisa accompanied him but, on reaching Khaibar, they had separated. Abdullah was waylaid and done to death. Mahisa reported this tragedy to the Prophet (pbuh) but as there were no eye-witnesses to identify the guilty, he did not say anything to the Jews and paid the blood-money out of the state revenues. [Sahih Bukhari]

The Last Day Alive of our Beloeved Prophet

The Last Day Alive

In a narration by Anas bin Malik, he said: "While the Muslims were performing the dawn prayer on Monday �" led by Abû Bakr, they were surprised to see the Messenger of Allâh raising the curtain of ‘Aishah’s room. He looked at them while they were praying aligned properly and smiled cheerfully. Seeing him, Abû Bakr withdrew to join the lines and give way to him to lead the prayer. For he thought that the Prophet wanted to go out and pray." Anas said: "The Muslims, who were praying, were so delighted that they were almost too enraptured at their prayers. The Messenger of Allâh made them a gesture to continue their prayer, went into the room and drew down the curtain." [ibid. 21640]

The Messenger of Allâh sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam did not live for the next prayer time.

When it was daytime, the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam called Fatimah and told her something in a secret voice that made her cry. Then he whispered to her something else which made her laugh. ‘Aishah enquired from her after the Prophet’s death, as to this weeping and laughing to which Fatimah replied:

The death of our Beloeved Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم)

The Start of the Disease

On Monday the twenty-ninth of Safar in the eleventh year of al-Hijra, he participated in funeral rites in al-Baqee'. On the way back he had a headache, his temperature rose so high that the heat effect could be felt over his headband. He led the Muslims in prayer for eleven days though he was sick. The total number of his sick days were either thirteen of fourteen.

The Last Week

When his sickness grew severe he asked his wives: "Where shall I stay tomorrow?" "Where shall I stay?" They understood what he wanted. So they allowed him to stay wherever he wished. He moved to 'Aishah's room leaning - while he was walking - on al-Fadl bin al-'Abbas and 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib. Head banded as he was, he dragged his feet till he came into her abode. It was there that he spent the last week of his life.

Martyrdom of Imam al-Hussain (Radhi Allah Anhu)

The Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) said: Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain [Narrated by Tirimdhi in Merits of Al-Hassan and Hussain, Hadith No.3708, where he declared it Hasan (fair)]

The major trait of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jammah is immense love for the family of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) especially his grandsons whom he himself loved immensely, to write a detailed biography on merits of his 2 grandsons would require uncountable pages, therefore we have taken detailed extracts from the famous Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, mentioning virtues of Imam Hussain (Radhi Allah Anhu), his martyrdom, “What actually happened, who was behind his martyrdom, who fought him, where when, how and why?” and how we should remember him.

The bravery of Al-Hussain (RA)

…Imam Hussain (RA) said: Dying is more worthy than doing this (i.e. going to Fajir/Fasiq/Dhalim Ibn Ziyad).

Imam Hussain (RA) said to his companions to ride their horses, and the ladies (of his family) also got ready, when you planned to go back the enemy stood inbetween your way and stopped you. Imam Hussain (RA) said to Hurr, May your mother lose you, what do you want? Hurr said: By Allah if amongst Arabs someone else had said this to me I would have taken Qisas and not spared that person’s mother, however we cannot mention your great mother except in good terms (i.e. Hadrat Fatima RA).

Analysis on visiting the Grave of Prophet (Peace be upon him)

Every believer has a desire to visit the Blessed Grave of Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) during his life time. Some even spend their entire earning just to have a glimpse of it. But unfortunately some people from the minority sect have started corrupting the innocent minds of muslim ummah and thereby misleading them with false information. These extremist declare the act of visiting the Blessed Grave of Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) as Biddah(Innovation) and Haram as was propagated by Ibn Taymiyyah whose verdict Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah) rightly called as: "ONE OF THE MOST UGLY THINGS REPORTED FROM IBN TAYMIYYAH"

(ألزموا ابن تيمية بتحريم شد الرحل إلى زيارة قبر سيدنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم وأنكرنا صورة ذلك، وفي شرح ذلك من الطرفين طول، وهي من أبشع المسائل المنقولة عن ابن تيمية) [Fath ul Bari, Sharh Sahih ul Bukhari (3/386)] This will be shown later on in this article. Now let us analyze the hadiths on this issue.

Seeing of Prophet(صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) while Awake

This article shall deal with the ruling about Seeing Prophet (Peace be upon him) whilst awake and how It has been a known reality amongst the people of Ma’rifah (Deep knowledge). But before that Let us look:

In Light of the Glorious Quran

Quran states: It is He who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed in error manifest(62:2)

The Next ayah says:

وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُواْ بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

Follow the Sunnah and Increase your Beauty - Beard

Hadrat Ibn-e-‘Umar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho reported that the Messenger of Allah has said, “Do the opposite of what the polytheists do; let the beard grow long and clip the mustache.” A version has, “trim the mustache down and leave the beard.” [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 2, Page 875]

Hadrat Zaid ibn Arqam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho reported that the Messenger of Allah has said, “Whoever does not take something off his mustache is not one of us (not on our path).” [Sunan Nisa'i, Vol 2, Page 274]

Description of the Beloved Prophet(Peac Be Up on Him) Blessed Physic

It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the fact that Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Praise and Peace be upon Him) is by far the most worthy and the greatest of all mankind, and that he is the most perfect of all, adorned with the most excellent virtues and qualities.

وأحسن منك لم تر قط عيني

I haven’t seen the lovely personality like you

وأجمل منك لم تلد النساء

And no mother have given birth to such a wonderful personality

خُلِقْتَ مبرءاً من كل عيب

You are created free from every fault

Respecting the things and places associated with the Beloved Prophet‏

Another element of the one's reverence and esteem for Beloved Prophet Muhammad Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him is found in all things and places connected to him in Makkah al-Mukarrama, Madinah al-Munawwarah and elsewhere.

Hadrat Saffiyah bint Najda Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha tells us that Abu Madhura Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho had a long lock of hair on his forehead that touched the ground when he sat down. When he was asked why he did not cut it he replied, "I will not cut off something that the hand of the Messenger of Allah Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him touched." [Ash-Shifa, Vol 2, Page 62]

Eleven Signs of Love for the Beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam‏
