Description
The Poem of the Cloak, known as the Burda in Arabic, is argubly the most memorized and recited poem in the Muslim world. Its subject is the mertirious character and exalted rank of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him blessings and peace. 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 rarified and celestial Arabic language provided its author with a lingusitic vehicle for its subtelty and loftiness - from Amzon
