Atop Everything and Everyone, The Biggest and The Highest, Who grants elevation, raised the skies and decorated it with stars, having lit them all, He bound them into respective orbital motions. His Greatness, Most Regarded, The Bearer of all Wisdom formed every layer of this universe as carrier of His subtle revelations. He is The Ultimate Creator, Who gives life and loves His Creation (the mankind), the One Who characterized the human existence as being the reflection of mini-universe. All praises be to The One, Who blesses and awards without concern for any gain in return, and to The One, Who created the human race as being the best in all of His creations and while granting the understanding and ability to exercise the right, appointed them as deputy (or Vice) in His own domain. He is the True Accomplisher, the First and the Last, The Hidden and the Apparent, knowing all that’s secretive and enigmatic. Allah SWT is the Ultimate Creator who enlightened His Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them) for the very purpose of His creation and sent them as ‘Guides’ of the humanity. He is the Purest and Worthy of All The Praise and Gratitude; Who showers blessings and mercy upon His beloved creation, way beyond they can ever imagine or hope. He is The Only and The Most Ancient, Who ensured the continuity of His guidance with ever raining blessings and compassion and accorded solace to the wandering and suffering humanity in His shelter of peace and tranquility. Allah SWT is The Most Beautiful, Who with His sheer Will and bounty granted a fond and accepted status to the Prophet Adam(AS) and vested His special authority (or powers) in all other Prophets(SA) in testimony to His Might (Greatness).

The Magnificent and The Most Noble Beloved Who sent the Chief of all Prophets(SAWW) as the benefactor of all the worlds. Having blessed him(SAWW) with the Holy Quran, being the greatest of all gifts, made his(SAWW) pure heart {Qalb-e-Muthar} as a source of pure light, guidance, understanding and a blessing for ultimate salvation and success. ہے کﻻم الہ ٰی ميں شمس و ا لضح ٰی تيرے چہرہ نور فضا کی قسم قسم شب تار ميں راز يہ تھا کہ حبيب کی زلف دو تا کی قسم Hai kalaam e Ilahi me Shamsuz'zuha, Tere chehre Noore Faza ki qasam Qasam e Shab e taar me raaz yeh tha, ke Habeeb ki zulfe duta ki qasam Hazrat Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi (RA) Most beautiful and Splendid, He is one of His Kind Who graced His beloved(SAWW) with the night of heavenly travel {Meaning: Shab-e-Asra} for communion and marked every breath of His beloved(SAWW) as the sole reason for well being and existence of all the worlds.
