As explained by the manuscript holder, the original author wrote the manuscript during one of his many stays in northern Nigeria where he had Sufi followers and friends. He used paper provided to him by the Directopr's office at the Alfa Umaru Ibrahim Institute (Northern Nigeria). The manuscript is the original handwritten by Sheikh Muhammad Al-Ghāli Ibn Sheikh Al-Hajj Muhammad Al-Amin Ba of Pate Galo (Senegal). It is a praise poem on the life of Prophet Muhammad (SWA). The manuscript is subdivided in seven parts. Part one deals with the birth, upbringing and unique character of Muhammad. Part two addresses how Muhammad obtained and carried his call of prophethood, and his exile to Madina (today's Saoudi Arabia). This part ends with the prophet’s stay at Mount of Hirā. Part 3 starts with Prophet Mohammad’s journey towards Madina from Mount Hira. His entrance to Madina and how the people of Madina welcomed him and how he established a Muslim community. Part 4 touches on Muslim wars against the non-Muslims up to their victory over Makka and its surrounding areas. This part also talks of the messages that prophet Muhammad sent to the various kings in the Arabian Peninsula. Part five is the Prophet's final pilgrimage and his Farewell Sermon. Part 6 describes the prophet as a person with miracles. Part 7 and 8 praise the prophet and provide guidance on how to connect with him.
Comme l'explique le gardien du manuscrit, l'auteur original l'a écrit au cours de l'un de ses nombreux séjours dans le nord du Nigéria où il avait des adeptes et des amis soufis. Il a utilisé du papier qui lui avait été fourni par le bureau du directeur général de l'Institut Alfa Umaru Ibrahim (nord du Nigéria). Le manuscrit est l'original redigé par Cheikh Muhammad al-Ghāli Ibn Cheikh Al-Hajj Muhammad Al-Amin Ba de Pate Galo (Sénégal). C'est un poème de louange sur la vie du prophète Muhammad (SWA). Le manuscrit est subdivisé en sept parties. La première traite de la naissance, de l'éducation et du caractère unique de Muhammad. La deuxième partie explique comment Mohammed a obtenu et réalisé son appel à la prophétie et son exil à Madina (aujourd'hui en Arabie saoudienne). Cette partie se termine par le séjour du prophète au mont Hirā. La troisième partie commence par le voyage du prophète Muhammad vers Madina depuis le mont Hira. Son entrée à Madina et comment les gens de Madina l'ont accueilli et comment il y a créé une communauté musulmane. La quatrième partie traite des guerres saintes contre les non-musulmans jusqu'à leur victoire sur Makka et ses environs. Cette partie parle également des messages que le prophète Muhammad a envoyés aux différents rois de la péninsule arabique. La cinquième partie traite du dernier pèlerinage du prophète et de son sermon d'adieu. La partie 6 décrit le prophète et ses grand miracles. Les parties 7 et 8 louent le prophète et expliquent comment entrer en contact avec lui.
