Instantly recognized anywhere in the world by its epithet, The Burdah is a timeless tribute to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which — although penned in the twelfth century — still resonates deeply due to the affinity generated by the author’s spiritual journey.
The poem begins with Imam al-Busiri’s struggle against his ego, as he showcases the hallmarks of true Muhammadan love. Through praising the Prophet ﷺ , narrating events and miracles from the Prophet’s ﷺ life, as well as lauding the majesty of the Holy Qur’an, the ode culminates with Imam al-Busiri’s miraculous rehabilitation, as he petitions the Prophet ﷺ. All of which takes place with the Imam turning back to Allah ﷻ during reconciliation with his faith, and a noetic realization about the reality of the world.
