Description :

Breezes of the Elect In the Realisation and Establishment of the Love of the Prophet, His Family, His Companions, those who Follow Him, & the Friends of Allah! Breezes of the Elect is a unique new collection of classical qasa'id, finely translated and beautifully designed. All the poetry consist of Arabic script, English translation and transliteration.

The author's intentions for compiling this book are to inspire an increase in love, knowledge, connection and obedience towards the Beloved Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, by the comprehension of the poems through their English translations.

Containing:

---The Burdah,
---The Mudarriyyah,
---The Muhammadiyyah,
---The Shimmering Light,
---Collection of 63 Qasa'id,
---Introduction and full title of the book by Habib Kazim as-Saqqaf,
---Intentions of the Munshid (singer of praise) by Habib 'Umar b. Hafiz,
---Intentions of the Drummer,
---Intentions of the Gathering,
---Closing Du'a,
---Blurb by Shaykh Yahya Rhodus and Shaykh Ahmad Babikar

User-friendly text layout and design : Little or no page turning required per qasida or chapter. Allowing readers to have a greater distraction free experience, whilst also making it easier for drum players to play. Due to the layout of the text, all the mentioned content fits into just 199 pages, making it light and usable too.

Additionally, stop signs have also been placed at the end of each qasida, choruses are emboldened, and every couplet has been marked with a glyph of alternating lightness and darkness, making it easy to continually jump between chorus and verse.

New, clear English translations in easy to grasp language : We worked closely with a team of translators to help express the meanings of the qasa'id in clear, easy to grasp language. Although no translation will match the original work, these translations should hopefully help the reader get a better sense of what the original author intended.

Designed to be used as a functioning songbook : We wanted to create something that would be used in gatherings, could have notes written on and marked according to the readers preference. Although much care was placed on the cover and internal design, our aim was to create something that readers would want to use and take with them on a daily basis.
