Qasidah Al Burdah (The Poem of the Mantle), known as The Burdah, is a poem in praise of The Prophet ﷺ. It was composed by Al Busairi in the 7th century Hijri and is one of the most widely recited and memorised poems in the world. The actual title of the poem is The Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation (الكواكب الدرية في مدح خير البرية). It is most widely known by the refrain, often sung between verses: مَولَاىَ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا ِعَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِم Structure The Burdah consists of ten chapters. Al Busairi starts by expressing his own love for The Prophet ﷺ and then mentions his regret for past errors. The middle chapters celebrate the life of The Prophet ﷺ - his birth, his miracles, the Qur'an, his night journey and martial struggles. The final chapters of the Burdah are Al Busairi's plea for The Prophet's ﷺ intercession and Allah's mercy.The Burdah's Story Al Busairi was affected by a debilitating sickness. He decided to write the Burdah as a means of seeking Allah's forgiveness and The Prophet's ﷺ intercession. After composing Burdah he saw a dream, where The Prophet ﷺ covered the Al Busairi with his ﷺ mantle (Burdah). He was completely cured from his illness when he woke up.
