Chapter 6 ~~~~~ What is the Qasidah Al-Burdah? Qasidah Al-Burdah or "Poem of the Mantle", or al-Burda for short, is an ode of praise for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ composed by the eminent mystic Imam al-Busiri (ra) of Egypt. The poem whose actual title is al-Kawākib ad-Durrīya fī Madḥ Khayr al-Barīya (الكواكب الدرية في مدح خير البرية, "The Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation"), is arguably one of the most famous poem in the entire Muslim world. It is entirely in praise of Muhammad ﷺ, who is said to have cured the poet of paralysis by appearing to him in a dream and wrapping him in a mantle or cloak (burdah). ~~~~~ Like this content?
