(I want to narrate a story for you today;
Something that makes your heart sway.
The story of a holy man who was named Mohammad;
Who is also known by people of centuries as Ahmad.
In first years of childhood, he became an orphan.
But worldly difficulties brought him up as a man.
Dear ones left him on this land one after one;
In his little heart, dances of sorrow had begun.
He spent his youthful days being a shepherd.
While grazing sheep, divine whispers were heard.
He observed plains and mountains thinking of their creator;
Like turning over the leaves of a book seeking its author.
He found the whole world the opened book of God.
His wisdom & insight bloomed, like a flowering bud.
In the land of superstition, he worshiped God, the One.
As the reward of his monotheism, he was gifted Quran;
-Quran is clearly holy verses to guide humanity…
A shout of truth to establish peace and equality.-
Once Mohammad went to Cave Al-Hara to praise Him,
The air smelled heavenly fragrance or maybe it seemed.
He felt a greatness within, too splendid to endure.
From eyes’ spring, tears gushed obviously pure.
“Read!” he heard this divine whisper that night.
The whole cave was filled by a halo of light.
“Oh I can not” with fear Mohammad replied him.
His voice was like the one waking up a velvet dream.
Celestial revelation repeated “Read by my name!
Relying on my power, then things won’t be the same.
Depend on me; the Lord of Heavens and the Earth
Who gives His servants birth, death and rebirth.
Read by the name of your most generous Providence.
Let your ambitious spirit soar highly; give it a deliverance.
Read by the name of your Almighty Lord creating you.
From each creation, I brought a pair into existence, too.
This land has never been empty of my holy messengers.
Propagandists of virtue, peace and justice they were.
You’re the last of prophets. I chose you, Mohammad.
If you face mocking ignorant people, don’t feel sad.
Before you, there were many prophets as well.
Their people denied them becoming ready to sell
Their divine spirits in lieu of mundane worthless stuff.
How cheaply they sold themselves! They forgot eternal life.”
Mohammad started reading by his Lord’s name.
As he was told before, things weren’t the same.
So fluently he read each verse of Quran; holy Book.
Such a miracle his mission was, even in a single look.
He returned to his people with his miracle; Quran.
To guide humanity to Straight Path: to God, the One.
My Muslim siblings! Come in companion with me.
Let’s utter together: Peace be upon him and his family.
Since he’s the one who fulfilled monotheism’s dreams;
Like a shining sun sending everyone his golden beams.

In honor of the last holy prophet, Mohammad.

La Allah? Share! Hear o' Tzaddi.
There is No God.
But there is a God, let Us say.
And let Us say: Mohammed is His Prophet.
Who then may be Hers?
And in what verse occurs the
Idea that one may freely
Make with epic couplets
Fate for world religion,
As if 1400 years were a pigeon
Flying out the window
To a land I would go to
Were it not for Vintage Violence
I eschew more than John Cale ever
Did do. You have my "Praise Allah;
And may Your Islam wax Strong";
The poem were long and the epic
Couplet suits the subject.
Gratuitous Clappies, and
Quality of Unity before Quantity of 1

Monotheism.

Great people transform the world with their great deeds. They bring peace and hope for humanity. So did Prophet Muhammad. I wish the Muslims could follow his teachings in letter and spirit. Please don't mind it but the fact is that 'Islam' that the socalled Muslims have been practicing, is utterly different from what the Prophet of Islam preached. What I read about Islam and what the Muslims of the day have been doing, are totally opposite to each other. Don't you think so?
Sorry if you minded what I said
...I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Excellent
A very fine write indeed. Although, I may not share your spiritual beliefs, I was reminded, as I read this of 3 other great poets: Rumi, Gibran and Omar Khayyam.
1) Rumi - http://www.armory.com/~thrace/sufi/poems.html
2) Gibran: http://leb.net/gibran/
3) Omar Khayyam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khayy%C3%A1m -
Verse well done
You have contained the history well within these lines. Some lines reflect the dogma of singular rightness and are clearly not inclusive. So be it.
As poet to poet, nice job.
Tecohe -
Much better - easier to read
and your words give history to the Prophet Mohammad - well done.

I changed the background now. Wnna try it again?

I too had a bit of a hard time with the background, but I love it anyways and thought it did look good! I have never read a poem about Mohammad, and though I may have different religious views, I must give you a lot of credit. I know very little about Islam and the Muslims and such, but I can tell you take it very seriously as I do Christianity. Great job!

The Quran?
You wrote one line in your poem that interests me very much, "A shout of truth to establish peace and equality"! When I lived over on Roscoe and Southport there was a store that was managed by a Palistinian family, and the owner gave me a Quran that was dated 1936. It had 8 chapters of introduction which explained the way that Mohamed came to write these scriptures. For one, it was interesting that he was very reluctant in the beginning to return to public life and he wanted to stay in the mountains with the other Masters and meditate. He was ultimately ostracizied from the Mecca for his beliefs and strong influence on the people. But eventually he felt the pull to return to his beloved Mecca, which became the flight of hygira. After an arduous journey he did return Mecca and power. His first proclamations were that all women would have the right to divorce and could also hold a vocation equal to a man. He said as well, that our brothers the Jews, should be held in a gracious light for without them I never would have been successful in my flight of hygira to Mecca. "A shout of truth to establish peace and equality" I can only pray to Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed, any of the great masters throughout time that the true words and meanings of them all said alike will be found within the course of man. Please be not offended, any body of people that claim to have the only words are not seeing the whole picture! My love is with you my brother and peace always!

Dear Brother,
I thank you kindly for such beautiful comment and fragrance. I feel so happy when I find another muslim on this community. What bother me here the worse is the insultation of people who knew nothing about our holy prophet and claim so much. A poet whose username was Sultan wrote a poem about Aisha which was clear insult to our prophet. It hurts me but such kind words from my muslim siblings gave me comfort and ensure me that we are not alone.
I thank you kindly again for your nice comment here. Hope to hear more from you soon

Miracle
My Respected Massy!
It is one of the greatest blessings of the Lord upon you that He favoured you with the inspiration to write many lines in praise of His beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Almighty Allah be upon him). Moreover, each and every word of the sacred poem reveals your feelings of respect and love for our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). It is a great effort and I heartily congratulate you my friend on creating such an inspiring spiritual piece of literature. May Almighty bless you and family, I pray! -
I read this poem again, and I still love it! ;-)

Thanks for posting this, I love learning more about any religion,

Hello Sarah957
Hello Dear Sarah!
Thank you for your interest in knowing the sacred life of our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace and blessings of Almighty God be upon him). Further, it is to inform you I am writing these day a book where I intend to have a comparative research study on all the three Abrahamic religions i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All the three seek inspiration from the same light. Further I have written a poem on Judaism and Islam under the title "Both the Two".
Kind regards............mujtaba haider zaidi

This is simply a wondrous write. This is full of the promise and the covenant between the source of all and man. I was reminded of the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran as I read these words. You can check out his works at http://leb.net/gibran/ . Kindred in essence and spirit you words reflect the same eternal truths.
Wonderful write,
Namaste,

A truly brilliant work ! Our Holy Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ) is someone literally complete and perfectly good in his character, therefore it becomes so hard to present a tribute which would capture and justify his innumerable and matchless virtues. I really appreciate your beautiful verses in honour of Hazrat Muhammad ( s.a.w )....they were simple yet very meaningful and touching. I was so overwhelmed when I reached the close. How strongly you invoked all muslims to utter peace on our beloved Muhammad ( s.a.w ) and his virtuous family. Since he was the sun who illumined our lives, who guided us in simply every sphere of life in such a loving and gentle way, lets thank him as much as possible by keeping a sense of deep gratitude for him ( s.a.w ) in heart and saying Dorood Sharif as much as possible. I am so proud of my sister for penning down this poem....I must say, its a great, great achievement of yours. Do write more spiritual poetry for you are, Masha Allah, very good at it. May Allah enable all of us to follow in the footsteps of Mustafa ( s.a.w ) ! Ameen.

Praise be Allah! And thank Him for blessing you with inspiration!
Massy, I only have a little time on this computer this morning, so I will not take time to be critical for style. For theme and content, there is nothing I can suggest to improve it, you have a beautiful gift from your heart and mind. I count myself very fortunate to know you, to be able to read this and let it work in my thoughts and prayers.
Mudjekeran, shokrun, thank you! for sharing this with fellow poets of the world. Insh'Allah this can help many see a way to the Light of Allah and His creation.
By the way, I was reading just yesterday before sunrise the verses in the Cow Surah about how Allah told angels He would create Man, and how Iblis responded, how the other angels responded. Very interesting.

Hats Off!!!!!!!!!
To guide humanity to Straight Path
This was the best part of the poem...actually this reminds me of Ahdenas Siraat Al-Mustaqim (i.e. A personality, don't you remember the Father of Abbas Alamdar a.s.)
Although every word is a fact or tradition i.e. Tareeq & Riwayah.
It seems as if gems of life of Holy Prophet are studded on the velvet of the poem of yours. The sky of AP bears the brightest sunlight with this poem. If you remember Quran:
ASH-SHAMS WA ZOHAHA (when i'll come back i'll give the full explaination of the whole Surah Ash-Shams).
Well Massy congrats for this poem, let me add bookmark to this poem. Keep writing the beautiful poems, I love this poem each word of it. Hats Off

Awesome
Dear Massy,
You have narrated the story of our Holy Prophet with such dignity, its amazing!! Your write invokes deep appreciation for the way you have chosen to call your muslim siblings together, to bless with peace the Prophet and His Progeny. May Allah bless you many times more in return of this sweet gesture from your pen.
Blessings always,
Khaahar Joonam.

Afarin!
The content is faboulous, I cannot but wonder at the rate at which your English is developing. The rhyming, as others have said, is a little forced at places, but the solemn matter of the poem override it. I suggest on removing a few fullstops in those verses a sentence in which already has a fullstop (like in the 3rd, 5th, 6th and so on). And there is a spelling error in Cave Al Hara : Al Hira.
Otherwise I find nothing wrong, I especially love the way you have penned the middle verses(from when the Prophet PBUH is told to read), they are awe-inspiring. Well done and all the very best in the contest. Khoda poshto paanahet

I am speechless
The only thing that needed attending in my opinion is the repetetion and forcing of some of the rhymes.
Other than that, I see nothing to modify.
As a matter of fact, this poem threw me a shameful sensation, with the fact that I have never (along my selfish line of poetry) wrote a dedication or any thing that related to our Prophet (peace be upon him) nor anything holy.
It's strange though..
Every time I try it, I find it so hard to put in words, may be it's the exceptional elegance in the topic, maybe it's my incompetence.
And despite that my writings are very good sometimes, I still can't tag this one out.
I am speechless.
Thank you for such an eloquent majestic poem.
Dear muslim, I gladly offer you my humble applause.
Be very well, be blessed.

"Dear ones left him on this land one after one"
Do you mean "dear ones left him IN this land, one after one" ?
"-Quran is clearly holy verses to guide humanity…" I don't know if this is correct, it sounds awkward to me as an English speaker. Perhaps you could try saying "The Quran has clearly holy verses". This is your decision though, it may make more sense to others that way.
"The air smelled heavenly fragrance or maybe it seemed." "The air smelled OF heavenly frangrance" perhaps?
Overall it's very good. I really love some of the phrases you used, they express an admiration of God's creation in a beautiful way.
-
What a wonderful story of a truly spiritual man, Massy You've written an excellent piece. I think that probably many of us have heard of the Prophet Mohammad but didn't know the story you've told of his early years. It's very interesting and informative.
It looks like you've already made changes on the others readers advice Ian (individuality) has given you a lot of good suggestions as have the others
In my own opinion, you would do well to drop the semi-colens and just use commas. Periods are seldom necessary in poetry so you could probably drop most if not all of them.
It's a really nice poem, Massy You did a great job with it. Good luck in the contest

Peace and blessings be upon you for this...
"Holy" and "Prophet" capitalize
Add Prophet before name
what "he" said italicize
refering use "he" same.
Sunnah, sayings and doings
should expose revelation, discovery
findng salvation from ruins
and religion as recovery.

It is beautiful!
Very nicely written, and very nicely done.
The rhyme is a bit off in some parts, but still the poem is awesome.
These lines:
"In first years of childhood, he became an orphan.
But worldly difficulties brought him up as a man." reminded me of Amr Khaled, I don't enjoy listening to him much, but I remember him saying almost the exact words in one of his shows in Ramadan, - if not the exact words only in Arabic.
Wonderful, Keep on writing,

he became orphan. - he became an orphan
He spent his youth days as being a shepherd.
- maybe removing the word days or saying youthful days? also no need for the word as.
He spent his youthful days being a shepherd.
or
He spent his youth being a shepherd.
the next line too, because you are sating while which is continuing from shepherd ther is no need for a period/fullstop after shepherd.
He observed plain - plains
The air smelled heavenly fragrance or maybe it seemed.
- smelled of heavenly fragrance
the Lord of heavens and the Earth - maybe capitilise heavens too?
Let your ambition spirit - ambitious
Propagandists of virtuousness - maybe just saying virtue here?
a good poem, a couple fo verses straying from the rhyme. i hope my suggestions are of help spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...

Of course it was so helpful. I’m so appreciative of you. I made some changes and I also went to my English teacher for more. Wish me luck since it passed long time from the last time I entered contests
