Qasida Burdah Sharif

One of my favorite renditions of the most beautiful Qasida/Naat ever written and composed.



Other nice renditions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTgQiXHSxw8 - By Qari Waheed Zafar (not sure)... Highly recommended if you have 10min.


Brief history: Qasidah Burdah is the famous poem written by Imaam Sharaf Uddin Muhammad Al Buseeri (608 - 695 AH), in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He wrote this poem when he suffered from a stroke. One night the Holy Prophet (pbuh) appeared in his dream and Imaam Buseeri recited this poem in front of Him. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) gave him a sheet/scraf(Burdah) and prayed for him.

On the occasion of the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal (month of birthday of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah upon him).

For Muslims it was Eid Miladun Nabi (birthday of the Prophet p.b.u.h.), for Christians it was Easter, for Jews it was Purim, for Hindus it was Holi, for Persians it was Naoroze, for Sikhs it was Hola Mohalla, for Nature Worshippers (e.g. Japanese) it was Vernal Equinox.

So I wish you a Happyyyy.... whatever!! :)
