Dear Muhammad

Dear Muhammad, I write this letter with the tools of my age yet the sentiments are as true as the days you lived.

Dear Muhammad, during past centuries you have remained the legend admired by many, the scholar who benefitted the Ummah, the human looked up to by masses and will always remain the man chosen by Allah to convey his message.

Dear Muhammad, you didn't ask to lose your father, mother, grandfather, uncle and wife in a portion of your life yet you remained patient through a trial that would break the strongest of men.

Dear Muhammad, how blessed must the cold walls of Cave Hira feel to have been the place of comfort all those moments as you wept and pondered over the troubles of this life.

Dear Muhammad, you didn't ask to be ridiculed, humiliated and belittled in your attempt to teach those around you of the divine message you had. However, you battled on with inner strength and faith in a way no other being could imagine doing.

Dear Muhammad, no person could have asked that their daughter be the one to remove objects thrown at them by those whose aims were to hurt you, yet you struggled on.

Dear Muhammad , you are one of a few who can claim to have been removed from the place you call home more often than usual.

Dear Muhammad, the battlefield seemed to increase and fortify your trust in Allah as well as inspiring those amongst you, a feat few men can say they have achieved, with sincerity in their hearts.

Dear Muhammad, only a handful of favoured men have a divine message to their names, and only you have had the privilege of carrying the final one.

Dear Muhammad, blessed are you, when Allah had chosen to convey the true message through you although those around you were ever-deviant.

Dear Muhammad, none other than you have the title of the walking Quran.

Dear Muhammad, so blessed and chosen were you that you received a special teacher and Messenger from Allah, in the form of Gabriel.

Dear Muhammad, so happy should our Ummah be to have an intercessor in the form of you, the beloved of Allah.

Dear Muhammad, know that you have a place in the hearts of millions, regardless of the degree of faith we hold.

Dear Muhammad, know that your Ummah wish for our Lord to send you peace and blessings upon you every time your name is mentioned.

Dear Muhammad, know that although our hearts waver at times, their lies great belief in you as the final messenger of Allah.

Dear Muhammad, may Allah forgive us for forgetting the incomprehensible sacrifices you made for us.

Dear Muhammad, may Allah forgive us for adding to or taking away from you Sunnah, an act you warned us against gravely.

Dear Muhammad, if I could have told you those many years ago, I would say thank you for conveying Al- Islam, on behalf of the many Muslims that it has brought a light to.
