the palaces of Caesar and Khosrau trembled. It is the night whose morning brought the bloom of spring, and the era became beautiful. It is the night when Angel Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم  hoisted flags in the East, the West, and on the roof of the Kaʿbah, and the sermon of the Sultan of both worlds صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   was delivered in the heavens and on earth. It is the night whose morning changed the condition of the world, sleeping destinies awoke, and fortunes began to shine. This is the night of the arrival of our beloved Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

A Book Accepted in the Prophetic Court

ꜤAllāmah Muhammad b. Qāsim رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه was a great saint of the 9^th century Hijri, and a distinguished scholar and qadi (judge). He authored a book about the beloved names of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, titled: Tadhkirat al-Muḥibbīn. It is a beautiful book and is also accepted in the noble court of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. A pious predecessorرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: Once, I fell asleep while reading this book. My physical eyes closed, but my spiritual eyes opened.  اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! I was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was seated in a place, and the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم were sitting around him in a circle.  اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! I had the honour of kissing his blessed feet. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  seated me in his gathering, listened to my recitation, and also listened to several pages from the book in my hands, Tadhkirat al-Muḥibbīn. Then, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  stood and departed. When I woke up, tears of joy were flowing from my eyes.^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! How fortunate! May Allah Almighty also bless us with the honour of seeing the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in our dreams.
