Moses and Muhammed
(Peace be upon them both)

By: Sahar Hussain

Burning aspire, pursuing the quest,
tracing every particle of soil,
searching the very depth of the sky,
to locate his supreme love.
It is Moses, stationed on the peak of Toor,
with a heart enriched by warmth unknown.
The initiation of an exalted dialogue,
as his whispers enclose the distant locale.
Moses awaits the hour of momentous glory,
wishing time would slower its pace,
as passive joy radiates within.
The flame of love embracing him,
spreading its wings around Moses
excorting him to the promised ascension;
where the sweet fragrance of musk,
perfumes the kingdom of faith.
His hand extended towards the heaven,
with eyes outpouring precious pearls,
‘Oh my Lord, show me that I may behold Thee!’
Moses voiced his age long prayer.
‘Thou shalt not see Me, but behold the mountain;
if it stays fast in its place, then thou shalt see Me.’
He replied softly.
Moses adhered to the command,
gazing at the colossal mass.
And when his Lord revealed Himself to the mountain,
He made it crumble to dust,
and mix with the mud and clay underneath,
and Moses fell swooning.
When he opened his eyes,
he exclaimed undertone,
'Glory be to Thee!
I repent to Thee; I am the first of the Believers.’
Moses stared at the edge of the mountain with awe,
rendering his emotions, as I write, observing his humble silence.
Oh Moses Kaleem-Allah,
do you wish to see the Manifestation of Allah again?
Have an eye-ful at Muhammed (s),
the seal of the Prophets.
He is riding on the back of Buraq,
heading towards the promised reunion
an assembly for the Prophets,
on the highest peak of the heavens.
From Adam, to Noah, to Ibrahim
and Moses ... all welcoming Muhammed to the Kingdom of loyalty and love.
This is the essence of ascension of the soul ...
