Format:Hardcover
The arabic calligraphy and the page design is exquisitely done. The commentary by other authors for each line really helps contextualizing the meaning for the non-arabic reader. One thing though, is that it does not seem to follow the traditional sections in which the burda is separated.

The book is beautiful, this includes the cover, the arabic calligraphy, the decorative borders, the poetry itself and the praise of the Prophet's qualities that a beleiver would hope to emulate. As the book mentions, 'How can his reality be grasped by people who are asleep, distracted from him by dreams'
While for me the Qasida Burdah's spiritual benefit sags in some parts, the addition of other poetry of a similar theme to every line of the Qasidah burda means that almost every page is delightful.
This is a book to feed the spirit with love, for those thirsty from mechanised/politicised forms of islam.
It infuses the remembrance and love of the beloved into every day life;
'And I never resolved to drink water,
when I was athirst
But I saw an image of Thee
in the cup'.

I was expecting a high quality product, but this compilation has blown me away! Abdal Hakim Murad deserves congratulating! A beautiful compilation of poems that elaborate the most famous Islamic poem - The Burda of Busiri. Every page contains a stanza of the Burda with another poem from another of the myriad of those who have written in praise of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). What fascinated me was not the calligraphic nature of the book, the colour, the artistry or the simple compilation but the poems themselves below each verse and how aptly they explained the lines above.
A spiritual journey for someone seeking comfort. It soothes and explains at the same time. It is not concise but it keeps your attention. I would recommend reading each page with the accompanying poem and then move on. Reading it out of order will not really keep the continuity, as with the original Burda, which this book was written to compliment.
To all, peace and blessings

I felt like I should have paid more
This book is worth every penny, and more. At its core is a poem, the "Burda" (i.e. mantle) that was written by a Muslim of the 13th century (Imam Busiri) as an act of devotion and... Read more
