SERMON 95

In eulogy of the Holy Prophet

Praise be to Allah who
is such First that nothing is before Him and such Last that there
is nothing after Him. He is such Manifest that there is nothing
above Him and such Hidden that there is nothing nearer than He.

A part of the same
sermon about the Holy Prophet

His place of stay is
the best of all places and his origin the noblest of all origins
in the mines of honour and the cradles of safety. Hearts of
virtuous persons have been inclined towards him and the reins of
eyes have been turned towards him. Through him Allah buried mutual
rancour and put off the flames of revolt. Through him He gave them
affection like brothers and separated those who were together
(through unbelief). Through him He gave honour to the low and
degraded honour (of unbelief). His speaking is clear and his
silence is (indicative) like tongue.
