Introduction


Numerous poems have been and still being written praising the Prophet peace be upon him. However, Al-Burdah by Imam Al-Busiri (696 H / 1296 G) is the most popular poem. Beside being often read by individuals, it is common for groups of people to gather and recite it across the Islamic world. That happens throughout the year, and most frequently in the month of Rabi' Al-Awal - the month in which the Prophet peace be upon him was born.
