Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Sorrow and Sufferings (2) Birth Of Islam God chose the Hashemites, a tribe of Quraish They were among men, the noblest of race He raised among them, a self-literate boy To deliver His message; to bring them joy. Muhammad was his name, whom God had chose Al-Amin (the truthful) called him his foes The keeper of KAABA, was his grand sire A rank than which, there was none higher.
Adam, Nooh, Ibrahim, Ismail, Moosa, Daa-ood, Eesa and other Prophets of Allah Testified that, from time immemorial, Muhammad Mustafa, Had been proclaimed the seal of Prophets of Allah He lost his sire, ere he was born Five years later, his mother was gone Abd-al-Motalib was his grand sire, Two years later, he too expired. The orphan boy was now his uncle's charge Abu Talib was glad, this responsibility, to discharge He looked after the boy as his own son So long he lived, dared touch him none.
He was of a reserved bent of mind With burning desire, solace he tried to find In the marvels of nature and forms diverse He tried to fathom the mysteries of universe. At twenty-five, he married a noble widow; Khadija had watched him by a cloud over-shadow Though forty, she remained in her lifetime, his only wife Twenty-five years long was their married life.
One daughter they had, named Lady Fatima Through her were born guardians of KALIMA She was married to Ali, Abu Talib's son He was renowned in courage like a lion. In the House of God was Ali born It's walls the idols then adorned They were a hapless witness to his birth A man who would soon smash them to earth. These gods of Arabs could find no way Powerless were they, while Ali in cradle lay This mortal foe of theirs, was something divine His luster made their eyes turn blind.
On Muhammad, he first cast his eyes He was destined with him all his ties He sucked his tongue, in solemn gait In one mould they were cast by fate. Ali grew in the Prophet's care His joys and sorrows, he shared He imbibed qualities that are rare With him, he made a heavenly pair. Thus Imamat was born as adjunct to Nubuwat Beyond scope of political intrigues and Satan Twelve successors were named, by Divine Grace To guide, for all times, the human race. Previous Next
