The poem is written in Hausa Ajami, using the\u00a0Maghribi writing style, and vocalized throughout. As with most Hausa Ajami poems nicknamed\u00a0<em>Tabbat\u00a0Haqiqan\u00a0<\/em>(The Absolute Truth),\u00a0the opening is a short introduction. The author first expresses her thanks to the Almighty Allah, Lord of the worlds, followed by prayers, seeking Allah\u2019s blessings on the Prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n<p>This poem is essentially praise, appreciation, and greetings to Prophet Muhammad. It describes him as a trustworthy and chosen person, noble yet humble, generous, and compassionate. It also includes an admonition to humankind in general and to Muslims in particular to be faithful and abstain from sin. It further describes the various kinds of punishment reserved for sinners on Judgement Day. Finally, the poem discusses the luxuries in the hereafter reserved for those who fear Allah. It describes how the heirs to paradise will live happily ever after without death or any worry, and importantly, for eternity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Poetry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>Hausa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Script<\/td>\n<td>Hausa Ajami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manuscript condition<\/td>\n<td><span>10 pages (pp 1-10). 17 x 21 cm. + front and back covers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Condition: Fully vocalized.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Type<\/td>\n<td>Offset MS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Shina Commercial Press<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"F6F7FA\">\n<td>Provenance<\/td>\n<td>Zaria, Nigeria<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Source Reference<\/td>\n<td><span>Nana Asma\u2019u, \u201cWa\u0199o\u0199in Nana Asma\u2019u\u201d (nd).
