For you and me

by Asma bint Shameem When the world was full of darkness and oppression,

He worshipped his One Lord in seclusion.

Away from all idols, away from false deity,

In Cave Hiraa he was chosen…..for you and me.

As he propagated the Message So True,

Not many believed him but a few.

He faced torture, persecution and agony,

Yet he endured it….for you and me

They mocked him, they cursed him, a madman they called him.

With money they even tried to buy him.

They threw on him intestines and garbage so filthy,

He patiently persisted…..for you and me.

A heart full of hope, he turned to another place.

Maybe they’ll believe him, since they know his face.

Instead, they stoned him, and pelted him with debris;

At Taa’if, he bled…..for you and me.

Such atrocity! The Heavens shook, the Earth cried.

He could have easily had them destroyed.

Yet he FORGAVE them; If he didn’t, we wouldn’t be,

For they were the ancestors…..for you and me.

In the Night of al-Israa, his Lord honored him,

Up to the Seven Heavens He called him;

When the Order came for Prayers Fifty,

Ya Rabb, five. He pleaded…..for you and me.

For thirteen years he spread Islaam,

Teaching them the basics of Imaan.

Yet they didn’t understand; their hearts were empty;

So to Madeenah he migrated ….for you and me.

They tried to stop him, but his Message was unstoppable.

They tried to suppress him, but the Truth was inevitable.

He brought to the world, peace and equality.

He spread the Light….for you and me.

He was truthful, upright, kind and compassionate;

He was humble, noble, brave and so gallant.

Kindness was his message even to his enemy;

Such was his teaching….for you and me.

He was Allaah’s Beloved, his sins were forgiven,

But he worshipped all night till his feet were swollen,

Not for his own self, concerned was he;

He prayed all night….for you and me.

It was his Ummah that was his worry,

His eyes would turn red, his beard so teary;

OUR Hereafter...his concern surely

He shed his tears…..for you and me

He came to perfect good manners, he was the Perfect Example;

The Qur’aan was his character, so Noble was his sample;

He was sent to all creation as a Mercy,

The Best Role Model….for you and me.

If we follow his Sunnah, uphold his Way,

We will succeed surely on that Day.

No more tiredness, no more thirsty,

He will wait at al-Kauthar….for you and me.

When all other Prophets will turn away,

Ummati, Ummati is what he will say.

“Forgive them, Ya Allaah!”, will be his plea,

He will intercede that Day….for you and me.

And now they try, as they tried once before,

To defame and slander him, but one thing’s for sure;

They will NEVER, EVER succeed, for undoubtedly,

He’s the BEST, the Highest with the Almighty.

Look at what he did for you, look how much he loved you,

The big question is: what are YOU going to do?

STAND UP AND DEFEND HIM, YA UMMATI!

The time is NOW….. for you and me.

But don’t lose perspective, in a moment of passion,

Remember to behave in an Islaamic fashion;

Don’t respond to evil with violence and cruelty,

That’s what he said…..to you and me.


If you truly love him, uphold his Sunnah,

The biggest DISRESPECT to him, is to make up bid’ah;

”PROVE” to him your love and loyalty,

The way of the Sahaabah....for you and me.


Allaahumma Salli alaa Muhammad wa Baarik wa sallim alayh. ❤️
