| Burdah Sharif |
Qasidah Burdah Shareef (Arabic: قصيدة البردة, "Ode of the Mantle"), or
Al-Burda for short, is a thirteenth-century ode of praise for the Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad composed by the eminent Soofie Imaam al-Busiri of Egypt.
The poem whose actual title is al-Kawāakib ad-durriyya fī Madḥ Khayr al-Bariyya
الكواكب الدرية في مدح خير البرية,
"The Celestial Lights in Praise of the Best of Creation"), is famous mainly in the Sunni Muslim world. It is entirely in praise of Muhammad, who is said to have been praised ceaselessly by the afflicted poet, to the point that the Prophet appeared in a dream and wrapped him in a mantle or cloak; in the morning the poet discovers that God [Allaah] has cured him.
