Default Re: The "Praising the Beloved (saw)" thread

Okay, I hate to rain on this parade (I'm all for praising the Prophet; I posted in this thread earlier too so I'm not one of those "Oh, this is outright shirk" people, k?) but nobody else finds the following lines problematic?

How immense a feat? Ya Rasool Allah!
On that day, I’ll have nothing to say,
Except beg the pardon of you, Ya Rasool Allah!
The moon has no right, to illuminate the night,
Without the permission of you, Ya Rasool Allah!
The rain that descends, bringing joy that never ends,
Is but a mercy from you, Ya Rasool Allah!
It's kind of a slippery slope, this praising of the Prophet (saw), no?

Sim: Sorry, had to ask. I like some lines in the poem; did you write it yourself?
Good to see you back though, bro; it's been a while. Hope all is well.
