Mercy for Mankind

Muhammad peace be upon him
Sent as a mercy for mankind
A man who was sent from above
In who God Himself we find

His character was unmatched
Morality and humanity too
Oh how do I find the words
To speak of Muhammad to you!

It only takes a while 
To become aware of his life
But once we begin that journey
We see it filled with strife

All of Allah's prophets
And all of his truthful men
They were tested with martyrdom
What makes me righteous, then?

The hardships that we experience
Was a fraction of what He did
And even through the hardships
He was merciful to the kids

He said the true test of patience 
Is at the stroke of a calamity
But look at how we complain
From the pain in our cavities!

He used to tend to the people
Who used to throw garbage on him 
But look at how we rage
When our tempers flare within!

He faced all poverties in life
Which made it difficult to eat
Yet he was always at the table
Until swollen became his feet

He taught us of God by saying
"If you trust as the birds do
As they return with bellies full
He would also provide for you"

Through all the suffering and pain
Came a jewel more precious than all
He became a beloved among people
Who would beckon his every call

As a lover of God he showed us
The paths to worship Our Lord
And as a human taught compassion
As two bows of the same chord

We have in front an unchartered sea
Yet our destination route is paved
This sea of hardships and trials
Will cause our souls to be saved

Oh Muhammad my perfect love
May He shower blessings on you
May we strive to uphold your example
And teach as we pass through

Oh Muhammad my perfect love
What title you leave behind!
How befitting to call my love
A mercy for mankind
