Description
About The Book
This work honors and celebrates the blessed birth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Maṭāli‘ al-Jamāl fī Mawlid Insān al-Kamāl—translated as 'A Beautiful Reader on the Birth of the Perfect Man ﷺ'—is an elegant and spiritually rich work. Written by the saintly scholar Sayyid Muḥammad ibn al-Mukhtār al-Tijānī al-Shinqīṭī (d. 1299 AH), it reflects the eloquence, depth, and spiritual insight of the scholars of West Africa and the wider tradition of that region.
It does not restrict itself to the blessed moment of the Prophet’s birth; rather, it traces the luminous journey of the Muḥammadan Reality—from the primordial light created before all things, to its transfer through the noble lineage of the prophets, until it shone forth in the person of Muḥammad ﷺ. The text recounts how the Prophet’s conception and birth were accompanied by cosmic signs, angelic celebrations, and divine glad tidings, centering his role as the axis of creation and the crown of existence.
The work is enriched with a moving munfarijah (plea for relief), written by the author’s disciple, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥusayn. This heartfelt supplication teaches believers how to turn to Allah in moments of hardship, affirming that “difficulty is the door to relief” and that patience opens the way to divine ease. Such sections make the Mawlid not only a commemoration, but also a guide for present struggles, offering solace, hope, and reliance upon Allah.
The author also composed two distinctive prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ that are included within this work.
Obtainment of Objectives and Hopes Through Reciting the Story of the Birth of the Best of Creation ﷺ
This luminous Mawlid and Seerah text, composed by the distinguished Moroccan scholar and hadith master Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥajūjī al-Tijānī (d. 1370 AH/1950 CE), stands as a devotional tribute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a profound testimony to his blessed exalted station. It is presented here in Arabic with an English translation for both devotional and study use.
The text commences with majestic praises of Allah and His Beloved ﷺ, portraying the Prophet as the primordial light from which all creation was brought forth and as the axis of divine mercy that sustains existence. It continues by recounting the noble conception and blessed birth of the Prophet ﷺ, interweaving classical narrations with descriptions of the cosmic signs, angelic celebrations, and miracles that marked his blessed arrival into the world.
