In the name of Allah, Kind and Most Merciful
O Lord! Bestow Your greetings on our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the opener of what was closed, the seal of what has passed, the helper of truth with truth, and the guide to Your most straight, perfect path. Let this blessing include his household, and be for them of a magnitude that matches the magnitude of the Prophet (pbuh). For his magnitude is (indeed) a great one.
This epistle has been written by the Shaykh, the Teacher, the Hadith narrator, the Sufi, the reverent Abu Ishaq Al Hajj Ibrahim Niasse, son of Al Hajj Abdullah Niasse Al Maliki Al Ashaari, At-Tijani of Kaolack. May Allah grant him everlasting power and give him long life, in order to confute the gossip of those who disown the Prophet's (pbuh) pre-eminence. May the greetings of Allah be on him, and upon all the Prophets, and all the Messengers. He entitled it: "The Stars of the Good Road", dealing with the pre-eminence of our Prophet (pbuh) over all those who preached for the Lord. ***
Praise be to Allah who gave more merit to some Prophets (peace and blessings to all of them) than to others, who set off the glamour of some, compared with other Messengers, and who made of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the most deserving of all, settling him at the summit of situations. According to the texts and to unanimous opinion, he is the most deserving, the most perfect among beings, the chief of all Adam's (pbuh) children, and the mercy of mankind, even of those who received the Prophecies and the Divine messages.
Holy greetings to his family, his companions, and his nation which is the best nation humanity has known, according to the religious texts and to verses of the Qur`an.
