When I Saw His Light | The Light of Muhammad | نور النبي | Nasheed (video)

"When I Saw His Light" is a Nasheed about the light of Prophet Muhammad / نور النبي. This is an Ali Elsayed Nasheed video from his latest Album "the Sun of Guidance". Here is the story of how it came about. I heard one day a couple of verses in Arabic praising Sayyidna Muhammad (pbuh). These two verses were attributed to the poet of the Prophet (s), Sayyidna Hassan bin Thabit (ra). These two verses touched my heart, and reflected upon the eternal beauty of the Prophetic light, and what would happen if Allah would reveal the heavenly beauty of His beloved Prophet (s). The poet tried to describe his first encounter with the light of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). After much reflection, I decided to write a song about such an encounter. Here are the Arabic verses I based "When I Saw His Light" On: لما رأيت أنواره سطعت .. وضعت من خيفتي كفي على بصري خوفاً على بصري من حسن صورته .. فلست أنظره إلا على قدري روح من النور في جسم من القمر .. كحلية نسجت من الأنجم الزهر English Lyrics: When I saw his light I had to cover my eyes In fear for my sight from his amazing beauty No words can describe The beauty of his light In fear for my sight I had to cover my eyes Salatullah salamullah ala Taha Rasulillah Salatullah Salamullah ala Yaseen Habibillah A spirit made of light In the form of the moon As if the brilliant stars We're woven into his form The limits of my mind Could not contain his light In fear for my sight I had to cover my eyes Salatullah salamullah ala Taha Rasulillah Salatullah Salamullah ala Yaseen Habibillah Oh Magnificent soul What kind of beauty You possess for the creator of all To call you His beloved For 70 thousand years He gazed upon your light Oh magnificent light In Fear for my sight I had to cover my eyes Salatullah salamullah ala Taha Rasulillah Salatullah Salamullah ala Yaseen Habibillah Ma ajmalak ma akmalam ma a'thamak rasulullah Ma arhamak ma arafak ma ahlamak habibullah ► SUBSCRIBE to get the latest videos straight to your homepage: http://goo.gl/WFWV3q ► DOWNLOAD nasheed MP3s: http://goo.gl/tiDC0a ► FOLLOW Facebook: http://Facebook.com/AliElsayedNasheed Instagram: http://Instagram.com/AliElsayedNasheed Twitter: http://Twitter.com/ElsayedAli
