DESCRIPTION:
Beautiful recitation no English translation though I loved the recitation of The Burda, however there was no English translation like I'd hoped! Shipped very quickly by vendor!. Five Stars Beautiful. I cannot begin to describe the beauty of this book The review is limited to only 1000 words there are not enough words to describe the state of this book. The CDs have the most beautiful chants , the poetry carries youyou feel it raise you. the artwork is fantastic!I've read Hamza Yusuf Hansons writings in the past, but his embarking on this project proves once and for all, that thisa wise, level person that wants to share the love that this poetry has with the rest of the world!
In the middle of the Sahara, the Burda blew cool breezes into our heart-gatherings, meanings that added insight to our lives, reminding us of our beloved, more importantly why we loved him. Poetry has always been enhanced by music. The Burda is like Africa: it is as deep as the oceans that surround her, as powerful as her Nile, as vast as her Sahara, and contains as many celestia
Written between 1260 and 1268 CE in Mamluke Egypt by the poet, scholar, and spritual master, Imam Sharaf ad-Din al-Busiri, the poem is sublime in its Arabic. The Poem of the Cloak, known as the Burda in Arabic, is argubly the most memorized and recited poem in the Muslim world. The rarified and celestial Arabic language provided its author with a lingusitic vehicle for its subtelty and loftiness. Its subject is the mertirious character and exalted rank of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him blessings and peace
