Nothing plants in the heart the love of Rasul Allah ﷺ 
like the poems of Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi."
THE AUTHOR
Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi is renowned as a reviver of the Prophetic way and a clear voice advocating traditional Sunni Islam in the world today. He is mentioned as one of the forty most influential Muslim scholars in the world, as mentioned in the Muslim500 review of the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute.
He was born in Syria from a family of scholars that traces its lineage back to the Prophet ﷺ through the Idrisi lineage in Morocco.
POETRY IN PRAISE OF THE PROPHET ﷺ
Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi has dedicated his life in the way of teaching the Prophet’s ﷺ life, composing books and writing poems praising him ﷺ. The penetrating meanings, eloquence and powerful use of language has gained him the nickname “the Busiri of our time”.
The title of “The Moroccan Revelations” is related to the openings he received from Allah after moving from Syria to Morocco, some of which are evident in the many works which he produced in Morocco, among them:
- Al-Íqd al-Munaddad, “The Necklace” in praise of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
- Ya khayra khalqi Allah, “O Best of Creation ﷺ”
- Maghani Ruba’l Asma. A 900-lined poem mentioning 1700 names of the Prophet ﷺ
- Al-Anwar al-Muhammadiyya. A poetic expansion on the Burda (Poem of the Mantle) of Imam al-Busiri.
- Arfau’z Zura fi Madhi Khayr’il Wara. A poetic expansion on the Hamziyya of Imam al-Busiri
- Anwar al-Rabi’, “The lights of Spring”. A collection of shorter poems
- Qasidatul-Muthanna, “The poem of the duals”
- Shifa’ul Qulub fi’s Salati ala’l Habib’il Mahbub ﷺ . A collection of salawat.
- Shamail al-Habib al-Mustafa ﷺ. A collection of hadith describing the noble features of he Prophet ﷺ.
- Jam’ul Asma’in Nabawiyya wa’s Sifati’il Muhammadiyya, containing 3500 names and attributes of the Prophet ﷺ.
May these lines be shared far and wide!
The eloquence, the flow of words and meanings and secrets of this unique poem is truly a treasure that needs to be made known to the world."
THE BOOK
Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi expresses in the most eloquent of ways his love and yearning for the Prophet of Islam ﷺ in an incredible masterpiece.
Coincidentally the Arabic is compromised of 256 lines, the same number as the numerical value of the Divine name ‘Nur’ which is also a name of our Master, the Prophet of Islam ﷺ. He shows through his words the light of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in all its understanding and beauty through the eyes of a true lover.
My heart tasted something new with the poems of Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi that it never tasted before.
