Do you really know this man?

Muhammed saws, to mankind is dear
but have you ever thought, how did he appear?

his height was above average, he had a sturdy build
to protect him, his companions would even have killed

his hair was lengthy, wavy and strong
his forehead was prominent, his eyelashes long

his eyes were black with a touch of brown
he met with a smile, hardly a frown

his beard was thick, that's what they say
mainly black and some hairs were grey

a thin line of hair over his neck and chest
when sat at a gathering, he outshone all the rest

his nose was sloping, his cheeks were spare
he was so handsome with a complexion so fair

his gait was firm and he walked quite fast
only the energetic could keep up and last

he would speak so calmly, no signs of violence
he would often sit, in total silence

he would explain to people about our deen
he had few clothes, but they were spotlessly clean

he explained that muslims were united as brothers
and therefore to overlook the faults of others

to perfect ourselves in the path of islam
to seek knowledge to strengthen our imaan

Muhammed SAWS is the best of creation
and from his example, we should gain inspiration

his friend Abu bakr (r.a) once said
two lines about him, here's how it read

'as there is no darkness in the moonlit night
so is Mustafa SAWS, the well-wisher bright'
