Chapter Seven - Concerning the Mi'raaj of Rasulullah (saw) ::
Allamah
Busairi writes this poem in chronological sequence concerning
the life and mission of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam.
After praising Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam and mentioning
his birth he discusses the invitation of Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wassallam toward Allah Ta'aala. With the first wahi the
prophethood of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam is proclaimed.
In this chapter Allamah Busairi speaks of the miraculous journey
(Mi'raaj) of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam to the seventh
heaven. On this journey Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam
passed the Sidratual-Muntahaa and was taken to such close proximity
to Allah Ta'aala, where no other creation had ever gone or will
ever go again. Allamah Busairi shows that Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wassallam superseded every other creation in rank. From
this, one can gauge his (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam's) exalted
status.
1. O you the best of those to whose court seekers of bounties
resort.
2. Running and (mounted) on the backs of fast camels.
3. And O you who is the greatest sign for he who takes a lesson.
4. And O you who is the greatest bounty for a person who avails
himself of it.
5. You traveled by night from one sacred place to another
6. As the full moon travels through intense darkness.
7. And you continued ascending until you attained a position.
8. At the distance of two cubits length, as has never been attained
nor sought.
9. And you were preferred due to your position by all the Ambiyaa.
10. And Rasools just as a servant gives preference to his master.
11. You passed the seven heavens with them.
12. In a procession in which you were the standard bearer.
13. Until you left no goal (for) any competitor to strive for.
14. In closeness, nor any (room for) ascent for any one to advance.
15. You made inferior every position by (your) advance, when
16. You were invited to his majestic and unique position.
17. So that you may be successful in reaching the most concealed.
18. From all eyes, and secrets well concealed.
19. So you acquired every (status) worthy of pride unrivalled.
20. And you surpassed every position which none other passed.
21. And extremely excellent are the ranks that were granted to
you.
22. And incomprehensible are those bounties which were conferred
upon you.
23. Glad tiding be to us O people of Islam! We have
24. By the Grace of Allah a pillar which is indestructible.
25. When Allah called, the one who invited us (Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wassallam) to His worship.
26. Because of the noblest of messengers, we are the noblest of
ummats.
