AL-BURDA:
THE PROPHET'S (PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM) MANTLE

Muhammad, leader of the two worlds
and of Man and the jinn,
Leader also of the Arabs and non Arabs and their kin.
Our Prophet, Commander of right,
prohibits evil's way,
Yet no one's speech more gentle could be
than his nay or yea.
Beloved by Allah is he upon
whose pleading we depend
From terrors of the Day of Judgement,
which on us descend.
He summoned people unto Allah,
they to him did adhere,
And clung fast to the rope that none
could ever rent or tear.
In morals and features
he, all prophets did exceed,
None could approach his knowledge,
or his bounty e'er precede.
And thus from Allah's Apostle
they acquired and did gain,
A handful of the vast sea
or a sip of gen'rous rain.
So other prophets in their rightful place
before him stand,
Regarding knowledge and the wisdom
that they understand.
He perfect is in traits concealed,
and features bright and clear,
And Man's Creator chose him
as His most beloved and dear.
Too far above all men is he
to have a partner who
Has equal qualities, because
the essence of virtue
That in him lies is indivisible,
and wholly true

I'm listening 2 the one by some1 called BR Khalid, i think he was @ d nasheed xtravaganza last yr. :)

[Soulja]

Subhanallah!
Have you all ever listened to the entire Burda?
Some sheikh recites it SO BEAUTIFULLY and I always listen to it, its on my computer. I will find who later.

Yusuf Islam actually made a CD singing the Burda.

It was written by Imam Busri, there is like a 45 dollar CD collection with the poem in Arabic and English.

The story behind this is (according to tradition) that Imam Busri was paralyzed, and he went to sleep and recited this poem he wrote the Prophet (SAAS) (if i understand correctly... i am not sure if he wrote it before he went to sleep or after)... and the Prophet (SAAS) was pleased. Imam Busri woke up and was healed.

The Burda written by the Egyptian Imam al-Busairi is sung all over the Muslim world in various renditions and is available in bookstores. For those in the US, you might have to order the one from Sandala or visit a bookstore in the South Asian community to find such a blessed text. In the UK, Toronto and in the Muslim Countries it is readily available. There are many stories revolving around this poem and its author:)
