Poetry in Praise of Prophet (s) by an Arab poet, who was later called the Poet of Prophet (s) Hassan bin Thabit was born in Medina, which was then called Yathrib, seven or eight years before the birth of the Prophet. He came to be known most famously as the ‘Poet of the Prophet’ after his defense of the Prophet, the companions and the religion of Islam with his poems against the idolaters. The following are a few verses from his poems of praise and glory for the Prophet: A glorious Prophet has come to us after years without hopes and prophets after years of worship on this world in idols. He’s come and illuminated us like a light that guides us into the right path and shines all so bright Like the blazing, blinding glimmer of the sharp end of a sword Against fire he warned, And he gave good news of Heaven He taught us Islam For which we thank Allah O the only God of People You are my Lord and my Creator to which I will bear witness For as long as I live among people.’ Hassan b. Thabit praised the glory of the Prophet through many attributes like beauty, grace, pleasantness and good morals. The following two couplets by him stole people’s hearts for centuries and became everybody’s favorite: Talking of beauty, you are the one that comes to the mind For there’s not been a single soul more pleasant than you are You are cleansed of all imperfection You are one of a kind in all creation
