About the Qasida Burda:

Qaṣīda al-Burda (Arabic: قصيدة البردة, "Poem of the Mantle") is an ode of praise for the Beloved Prophet Muhammad May Allah bless him and grant him peace composed by the eminent Sufi Imām Ṣālih Sharaf ad-Dīn Abū `Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan al-Būṣīrī (1212-1296) of Egypt. The poem, whose actual title is al-Kawākib ad-Durrīya fī Madḥ Khayr al-Barīya ("Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation"), is famous throughout the Muslim world.

Sunni Muslims have traditionally venerated the verses. The poem is memorized and recited in congregations, and its verses decorate the walls of public buildings and mosques. This poem decorated the Prophet's Mosque in Medina for centuries but was erased but for two lines under the Saudi dynasty. Some Muslims believe that, if recited with love and devotion, the Burda can cure diseases and purify hearts. Over 90 commentaries have been written on this poem and it has been translated into Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Berber, Punjabi, English, French, German, Sindhi, Norwegian and other languages.

The Burda is divided into 10 chapters and 160 verses. Interspersing the verses is the refrain, "My Master, descend peace and blessings continuously and eternally on Your Beloved, the Best of All Creation" (Arabic: مولاي صلي و سلم دائما أبدا على حبيبك خير الخلق كلهم). Each verse ends with the Arabic letter mīm, a style called mīmīya. The 10 chapters of the Burda comprise

• On Lyrical Love Yearning

• On Warnings about the Caprices of the Self

• On the Praise of the Prophet

• On his Birth

• On his Miracles

• On the Exalted Stature and Miraculous Merits of the Qur’an

• On the Ascension of the Prophet

• On the Chivalrous Struggle of Allah’s Messenger

• On Seeking Intercession through the Prophet

• On Intimate Discourse and the Petition of One’s State

Qasidah Burdah    The Poem of the Scarf   

Hardback - [vi + 157] Total 163 pages                                     By Imam al-Busairi

The writer, Imam Salih Sharf al-Din Abu Abd 'Allah Muhammad bin Hasan al-Busairi 'alayhi rahman w'al Ridwan had become paralysed. His doctors and physicians gave up all hope of his recovery. Eventually in this state of complete helplessness and despair he composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of Sayyidina Rasulullah Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam. Using this as his sole means of asking Allah Ta'aala to cure him from his illness. He isolated himself in a quiet place one Thursday night and with complete devotion, concentration and sincerity began reciting this poem. While reciting it sleep overcame him and he had a vision of the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam. He told Sayyidina Rasulullah Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam of his illness whereupon Sayyidina Rasulullah Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam passed his blessed hand over Imam Busairi's body. Through the barakat and blessing of Sayyidina Rasulullah Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam, Allah Ta'aala granted him complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke he found a scarf or shawl on his body which he had seen Sayyidina Rasulullah Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam place on his paralysed limbs. This resulted in the poem being named "Qasidah Burdah" (The Poem of the Scarf).
