Al-Mawārid al-Ṣāfiyah

Al-Mawārid al-Ṣāfiyah: The Purest Springs is a true gem of scholarship and devotion, an original work written by Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi. This 154-page book is a beautiful commentary on the unique Arabic poem Al-Kaafiyehatul Kaffiyeh, which consists of 156 lines—a number that holds special significance, as it corresponds to the numerological value of the name Nur (Light), symbolizing the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), who, as Allah describes in the Qur'an, is the light to guide humanity.

In this masterful commentary, Shaykh al-Yaqoubi delves deeply into the meanings behind the poem, elaborating on the Prophet's character, miracles, and beauty. Through this poetic work, the author celebrates the Prophet’s unmatched qualities and illuminates how his light shines through the hearts of believers.

The poem is arranged in eight chapters, beginning with a prologue that introduces the divine attributes of the Prophet, followed by a powerful second chapter that addresses the failure of many to give the Prophet his due, even though Allah has praised him perfectly in the Qur'an. The commentary then moves to explore the purity of the Prophet's lineage, highlighting how Allah made him unparalleled in both his physical and moral attributes.

One of the unique aspects of this commentary is the way Shaykh al-Yaqoubi draws on early Arabic poetry to illustrate how past poets have expressed similar sentiments about the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)—describing his miracles, his beauty, and the deep love they felt for him. The Shaykh compares these earlier expressions of love with his own poetic lines, enriching the commentary with references to both the Qur'an and the Sunnah to further substantiate the profound truths he conveys.

Written in simple, yet beautiful Arabic, Al-Mawārid al-Ṣāfiyah is not only a scholarly work but a spiritual journey. It stirs the hearts of its readers, enriching their knowledge of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while deepening their love for him. The author, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, intimately connects the message of the poem to his own lineage, drawing a poignant connection between his great-grandfather, the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and his own love and devotion for the Prophet.

This is a book unlike any other—unique, original, and deeply moving. It serves as a reminder of the beauty of the Prophet's character, the power of his light, and the transformative impact of loving him. A must-read for anyone seeking to strengthen their love for the Prophet and deepen their understanding of his legacy.
