THE PERFECT MAN

O "Seal of the prophets"! How shall I praise you,

When God Himself describes you as "The Perfect Man!"

Embodiment of piety, model of mercy,

Surely you lead the entire prophet clan.

Where Gabriel's wings burn there did you reach ,

Enabling the meeting of God with man.

For you did He create suns, moons and stars,

For you has been everything since time began.

O Muhammad, I affirm that there never was,

or has been, or will be, like you, a man.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

*SEAL OF THE PROPHETS: As the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is described in the Glorious Qur'an.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the last divine Messenger of Allah (God) as foretold in the Torah and the Gospels of Jesus Christ. In the Holy Quran, the holy book of the Muslims, God addresses the prophet (PBUH) as "Ya Seen!" in the chapter of the same name. Ya Seen, according to many interpretators of the Quran means "O Perfect Man" -- the title of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Also read THE PARACLETE, another poem written by me and posted on this site.
