In Praise Of The Messenger: Selections From Al-Burda

Imam al-Busiri's Burda is the best-known poem in praise of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Its third chapter is the one devoted to that praise. This book presents what the scholar Ahmad Ibn 'Ajiba wrote in explanation of the key verses of that chapter.

The selections come from Ibn 'Ajiba's commentary, Al-'Umda fi Sharh al-Burda, in a new English translation from Al-Madina Institute. The publisher left out his analysis of the Arabic language to keep the focus on the spiritual meanings of the verses.
