O people who commemorate the birth of the beloved of Allāh ﷺ, remember the greatness of his struggle ﷺ, remember the uprightness of his ijtihad ﷺ, he ﷺ has wept so much for your sake, he ﷺ has beseeched his Lord and cried much for your sake. He ﷺ stood for hours in the night till his two feet were swollen.

You are by virtue of him ﷺ, the best of nations to the One (Allāh). So know the greatness of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, connect yourself to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, exalt the shari’ah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, make proper performance and application of it in all matters a reality. For a person or a family from amongst yourselves will never succeed or be honoured except by establishing his guidance, his shariah, and his way in themselves.

– Sayyidil Habib Umar bin Hafiz
