I was tried with the love of the chosen one, Ahmad, the Seal (of the
prophets),
The essence of existences and the father of good manners in all its
ramifications .

Allah chose man with favours out of other creatures and chosen
prophets(ASA) out mankind with guidance and favours, He chose
Messengers(ASA) with guidance, favours and salvation; He then chose Five
out of them as Ulul Azmee with guidance, favours, salvation and Divine
proximity and finallay He chose Ahmad(SAW) with guidance , favours,
salvation, Divine proximity and intercession thus he(SAW) is referred to as
Khayril Baraya (The best of all creatures).

I am attached to him when people are in inevitable slumber (and
sleeping),
I enjoyed his love for long , I alone .

The sweet hours of the night when neighbours are all sleeping is sacrificed
by Sheikh(RA) to record poems in the love of the prophet(SAW), the love that
couldnt allow him to sleep. Day time and night are the same to Sheikh(RA)
he was always in yearning of the prophet(SAW) tears of yearning used to drop
from his eyes when people are sleeping in the late hours of the night. The
translator also used these hours translating this great work, emulating his
master.
Safwan ibn Qudama said "I emigrated to the prophet and went to him and
said, 'MESSENGER OF ALLAH, I LOVE YOU' He said, 'A man is with the one he
loves'" Sunna of Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, page 23

And in this time (of ours) I was competed (in love of the prophet SAW)
while I am,
Jealous with whoever is desiring Muhammad (SAW).

Many saints attempted to compete with sheikh(RA) in love of the

prophet(SAW) and they were defeated because sheikh has dissolved his
personality in deep love of the prophet(SAW) he never became distracted
from loving the prophet(SAW).
Quran 3:31 says, Say (O Muhammad, to mankind & Genie): If ye love
Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is
forgiving , Merciful

However I am manifested (in that love) before them(those

And I have been successful over time, due to (blessings of)
Ahmad(SAW).
Sheikh(RA) never play with loving the prophet(SAW) and he was always
there before others.
The prophet(SAW) responded to the love sheikh(RA) is having for him and
this response makes sheikh(RA) unique is his time. He was an active member
and a stakeholder in international organisations pursuing Islamic goals and
unity of the Muslims, some of these organisations he was a founder, few out
of such organisations are Muslim World League (Rabitat al-Alam al-Islami)
based in Saudi Arabia, of which he served as Vice President, the World Muslim
Congress (Mutamar al-Alam al-Islami; Karachi, Pakistan), the Islamic
Research Assembly (Majma al-Buhuth al-Islamiyya; Egypt) and the High

And why not(such wouldnt happen)? The mightiness of servant is as

So all plain of existences are placed under the control of a black

Sheikh (RA) rose to the elevated position of the custodian of the flood which
sheikh Ahmad Tijjani(RA) the patron-saint of Tijjania sufi order predicted his
coming,The: spiritual flood will come in the hand of my disciple then people
will be initiated into our sufi order en masse. This spiritual flood will come
when people are in great difficulties. Allah raises Sheikh(RA) to that position
when people are recovering from second world war and Africa is plagued by
invasion by colonialists. It was estimated that about sixty million Muslims
were initiated into Tijjania Sufi order due to advent of Sheikh(RA)

O! Messenger of God raise my pleadings,
To Yourself, and so is my condition as you see (in) the black
servant(sheik himself).

Tawassul is part of prayer of the pious ones, Sheikh (RA) is making Tawassul
with the prophet(SAW) for his prayers and improvement in conditions leading
to spirituality and Islamic progress.
Sheikh(RA) used to called himself Black servant to show racism has no
place in Islam, skin colour is not a defect when there is faith and white skin is
not an achievement when there is no faith. Abu Lahab an Arab (white skin) go
to Hell because of his disbelieve and Bilal(RA) a black slave from Ethiopia go
to Paradise because of his fidelity.

It is in the time of Sheikh(RA) African countries achieved independence as

Sheikh(RA) rightly predicted in his book Alafriqiyyun lilafriyyin (Africa for
Africans) that before the end of his life most African nation will achieve
independence. Forever Independent African nations celebrate this moment
with happiness and festival; in 2020 Nigeria will celebrate diamond jubilee of
its independence from British rule. Independence became an everlasting gift
to African nations no physical colonialism will ever overtake these nations as

Sheikh(RA) has already placed his prayers channelling it through the

prophet(SAW) before he even felt the need to pray.
By channelling prayers through the prophet(SAW) one becomes iron-hearted
and fearless like Sheikh(RA) himself. Things that scares common men became
unknown to such hearts.

In Chemistry there are physical changes and chemical changes, Chemists
believe physical change like putting sand in water is easily reversible with
common tool and procedure. However, chemical changes is hardly reversible
like salt in water and will require unique tools and procedure to separate.
Here is a man who never attend Chemistry class and never enter laboratory
separating salt water in well with no any tool. This man lives in the dark
region of the Earth at that time with no or little scientific discovery coming
from it, that is the Arabian peninsula and the man is Muhammad(SAW).

As a well that its water was hard and flourishing ,
For a year travellers galloped on horses by the well foaming (with
abundance of water).

We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya

(Treaty), and (at) Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not
leaving even a single drop. The Prophet(SAW) sat at the edge of the well and
asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out
into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well
and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their
satisfaction.

mistake he said:O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me for the sake of
Muhammad. Allah said: O Adam, and how do you know about Muhammad whom I have

breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw written on the heights of the
Throne: LAILAHA ILLALLAHMUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH. I understood that You would
not place next to Your Name but the Most Beloved One of Your creation. Allah said: O
Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for Muhammad I would not have created
you.

And join my attributes to be (imitating) yours always,

Irfan (Gnosis) is the knowledge about the Creator and knowledge is

knowledge about anything not the Creator. Baalam was given knowledge of
the two types but was not fortified with holy spirit and these knowledges
made him derailed from the right path. One should ask to be fortified by God
with faith which will guide how best to use these knowledges.
