Abstract
This study aims to discuss the concept of Qasidah AlBurdah and its literary study. The objective of this study is to give
a general idea about Imam Busayri and Qasidah Al-Burdah with a
statement of its value in Arabic poetry. The study resulted that,
the Qasidah Al-Burdah is one of the greatest poems written in
praise of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The poet himself says
that he wrote this poem after he was attacked by paralysis. He
then sought Allah's mercy at the intercession of the poem. He
recited it time and again, prayed and asked for the intercession of
the Prophet (PBUH). After that he saw in his dream
the Prophet (PBUH) who touched and swabbed his face with his
blessed hands and wrapped him in a mantle after which the poet
recovered from paralysis. The thought of poem is derived from the
poet's knowledge about the Prophet, his culture
and Arabic and Islamic environment, along with some traditional
concepts such as; Al-Ghazal and skill of eloquence. We find in
this Qasidah the concept of the Islamic preaching and it purity, supreme respect for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), his
Biography and most beautiful character. Busayri begins
his Qasidah following norms classical Arabic poetry and warning
himself about following Nafs and its desires before moving on to
talk about the ethics of the Prophet and praising his
qualities (PBUH). Then he praises the qualities of the Prophet and
his congenital merits and sings of the birth of the Prophet and his
miracles. He also describes the guidance of the Quran, and the
Prophet's jihad. Then he pleads to the Prophet and seeks
intercession from him. He concludes the Qasidah with a
supplication and humble submission, presentation of needs, the
recitation of Durood on the Prophet (PBUH) and the prayer for
the Satisfaction of the four Caliphs, Ahle Bait, the Companions, AlTabein and the Pious. All this stylistic beauty indicates that the
Qasida Al-Burdah is one of the highest poems in the Arabic poetry
according to the views of most scholars and literary figures. But
some defendants accused Busayri of hyperbole in his praise of
the Prophet (PBUH) in his Qasida.
