Do you really know this man?

Muhammad saws, to mankind is dear
But have you ever thought, how did he appear?
His height was above average, he had a sturdy build
For him, his companions, would have even killed
His hair was lengthy, wavy and strong
His forehead was prominent, his eyelashes long
His eyes were black with a touch of brown
He met with a smile, hardly a frown
His beard was thick and on that day
It had 17 grey hairs, when he passed away
A thin line of hair over his neck and chest
When sat at a gathering, he outshone all the rest
His nose was sloping, his cheeks were spare
He was so handsome with a complexion so fair
His gait was firm and he walked quite fast
Only the energetic could keep up and last
He would speak so calmly, no signs of violence
He would often sit, thinking in total silence
He would explain to people about our deen
He had few clothes,but they were spotlessly clean
He expained that muslims were united as brothers
And therefore to overlook the faults of others
To perfect ourselves in the path of Islam
To seek kowledge to strengthen our imaan
For Muhammed saws, is all of creation
And from his example, we should gain inspiration
His best friend Abu Bakr (ra) once said
Two lines about him, here’s how it read
‘As there is no darkness in the moonlit night
So is Mustafa saws, the well-wisher, bright’
