The Beloved's footprints

Salaam!

Alhamdulillah, things are getting better and clear now. Hope the same goes to everyone too. After attending a talk recently, I suddenly thought about a beautiful poem that I stumbled upon quite some time ago. So I'll just share it here then insya Allah, a poem about our Beloved Prophet (SAW):

“One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking in the Blessed City of Madinah with my Beloved Prophet sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam. Across the beautiful sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Beloved Prophet sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of my life when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat. My heart was grieved by this immensely. I turned to my Beloved Prophet sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam and, with tears in my eyes, humbly asked, “Ya Rasulullah sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam, you promised me that if I followed you, you would walk with me always, and never leave my side. But I have noticed that during the most trying times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” My Beloved Prophet sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam held me close and whispered with his sweet, fragrant breath, “My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”


May Allah grant us the honour and blessing of meeting Rasulullah sallaAllahu 'alayhi wasalam in our dreams and in awaken state, and may we be granted his sallaAlahu 'alayhi wasalam's intercession on the day of judgement. Aamiin ya Rabb!

"How much longer, how long do we have to wait until we can make Rasulullah (SAW) proud of us? Until when only will we stop making him sad?"
[Syeikh Ali Soleh Muhammad Ali Jaber]

We all miss Rasulullah..
