Each couplet is deeply rooted in Islamic history and tradition; symbolising Islam's universal message of love, peace, and diversity by contextualizing the importance of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, whose mercy, compassion, kindness, and perfect character is the moral compass of all Muslims. Artists come to life when calamities call and Imam al-Busiri's greatest poem was a result of a powerful tribulation when he awoke to find he was paralyzed. Suddenly, this man - whose erudition and art had elevated him to the status of the prince of poets - was reduced to an invalid who was unable to rise from his bed. Within this state of affliction is the key to the Burdah's legacy. Reading, singing, & reciting the Burdah is a means for us to strengthen one’s love for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ & connection to him. And connection to the Prophet ﷺ is, of course, one of the best means of seeking the forgivenes
