POEM OF THE SCARF

Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) is the lord of the two worlds and of the two noble creations (man and Jenii) and of the two nations, namely, Arabs and non-Arabs.

So you may ascribe to this person any noble quality you want (except divinity) and you may attribute to him as much of greatness as you desire.

For, verily the excellence of Messenger of ALLAH has no bounds for, if it had, a speaker might be able to express it with his mortal mouth. So, the extreme range of our knowledge regarding him is that he is a man and that he is the best of the creatures of ALLAH. O ALLAH! Confer Thy blessings and peace, constantly and till eternity, on your loved one who is the best of Thy creatures, Whose assistance is from the Messenger of ALLAH, if lions encounter him in their dens, they would have to grieve seriously.
