Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
^ u still dont get it....
ppl who have no idea of arabic, read this particular poetry in arabic, hoping it will bring blessings from them, or fulfill their wishes....

ppl dont even know what they r reading and think they'll get blessings from it!!!!
this is not Quran that u will get blessings even if u dont understand the meaning....
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
if u think shirk is limited to doing sajadh in front of a particular thing other than Allah then its not me but u who has never known the meaning of Tawheed of Allah…
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
You know the history very well behind Imam Sharafuddin Muhammad Al-Busiri (r) and that he suffered from a stroke which left him partially paralyzed. He prayed to Allah (swt) for a cure and fell asleep, and in his dream he saw himself reciting the Qasidatul-Burda to the holy prophet (saws), who touched the paralyzed part of his body in his dream and the prophet (saws) threw his burda (mantle) on top of him. From this incident, after awakening, Imam al-Busiri (r) was cured.
Now keep in mind that Imam al-Busiri (r) prayed to Allah (swt) for a cure and received the cure through Allahs' beloved Rasul (saws) being sent to provide the cure from Allah (swt).
If you cannot understand that, then you will never understand.
Keep in mind that Rasul-Allah (saws) said that if you have a dream with him in it, that it is genuinely him, because Shaytan cannot take the form of Rasul-Allah (saws).
Keep that in mind in your response.
If someone is reciting Qasidatul-Burda, don't judge them. Hold your tongue and say something worthwhile instead of spitting venom.
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
Boasting of your own ego to be a self-claimed scholar is encompassed in shirk, armughal.
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)

Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
^ Praising Rasool Allah (SAW) and getting blessings out of it and worshipping Idols ..wat a senseless comparision.. what are u upto armughal??
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
Praising Rasool Allah (saw) is shirk? I think...ive heard it all.

Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
If we all tried following Rasool Allah instead of finding new ways to praise him, we would be much better off, and Rasool Allah would be much more pleased. But then singing is so much easier than following isn' it?
According to Quran and Sunnah, the durood shareef is the way that we have been ordered to bless the Prophet (PBUH). Why stop there, we can come up with new prayers and replace the original salah, after all we are praising Allah, what's the difference?
If the Sahaba (swt) didn't follow it, then who are we? Silly retorts regarding modern inventions are not applicable as they were not available at the time to the Sahaba. But such poems were prevalent in their time but never practiced by them.
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
That’s a news to me for I’ve learn from credible sources that Syedana Hassaan Bin Thaabit:razi: praised Rasooululah:saw: in his poetry.
1400 years ago, the young girls of Yathrib sang a similar poetry on the melody of “Duff” to welcome the most perfect man ever to come:
Tala Al Badr-O-AlaYina
Min Suni Yaatil Widaai
Wajaba Shukro AlaYina
Ma’da aa Lillahe Da’ai
Kindly, translate for me the above as I am not very good in Arabic.
Has anyone heard of the following and can some one tell me who is the poet?
Balaaghal OolaabaY Kamaalehi
Kashaffa daujaabaY Jamaalehi
Hasonat Jamee’o Khisaalehi
Sallu AlaiYeheY wa Aalehi
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
Ta’ala al-Badru 'alayna = The White Moon Rose Over Us
Min Thani Yatil Wa’da = From the Valley of Wada
Wajaba Shukru Alayna = We are compelled to give our thanks
Ma’daa Lillahi Da’ai = As the Call is to Allah
This was sang by Ansar and the rest of the prophet’s companions present at the time, upon Rasul-Allah’s (saws) arrival into Madina during the beginning of the Hijra. The rest of this song is even more beautiful, and as the brother duly noted above, was sung with the playing of the 'daf, which is a musical instrument like what you would call a tambourine, with small percussion chimes on the ends, and a small drum in the middle.

It's so funny how this brother is talking about replacing Salah...no one has ever even thought about replacing salah, lol....
Rasul-Allah's (saws) name means the praised one (it means Muhammad)
Also so do his other names
(Ahmed means most praised)
(Mahmud means to be given praise)
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
u r very poor in drawing conclusions if this is what u have learnt from the thread…
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
Ma Mooli, rather the conculsion is keep rejecting HAQ cuz it doesnt fit into the dumb heads and stonned hearts.
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
What is HAQ? Is HAQ the truth? And what is Truth? Is it Islam? And what is Islam made of? The Quran and Sunnah? And if following the Quran and Sunnah means not adding anything and deleting anything from it, then is the belief that reciting poetry about the Holy Prophet :saw: has spiritual benefits part of HAQ?
You yourself are destroying the HAQ by introducing matters into it like the Jews and the Christians…
The Christians have hymns and choirs which they consider a great blessing…Were those things taught by Isa :as:? No…That means they are innovations in Christianity…
But you guys also wish to make Islam the same way by introducing hymns and choirs in a way that it becomes beneficial blessing…
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
Ya_Sultan_e_Madina, don't worry there are a lot of wahabi wanabies here.
To all those who are against Tawassul and against the love of the Prophet:
Tawassul is a good thing in Islam.
Prophet Muhammad is himself a blessing and so are his traces
If something is not mentioned in the Qur'an, it does not mean it's haram. Where does it say in the Qur'an that it's sunnah to do so and so in prayers? It was said by the Prophet. How did you know it was said by the Prophet? You followed the scholars. May Allah reward them.
All scholars of Ahlusunnah agree that the Prophet is a blessing, making salat on him will gain you blessings (like in burda), touching his traces is a blessing, visiting his grave is a blessing and will gain you blessing, just like drinking water zamzam and touching the Ka^bah is a blessing, and not shirk as the najdi wahabies say.
Beware of wahabies who are against the hundreds of Millions of Muslims whom are in love of our honorable Prophet.
Re: Blessings of Qasidat al-Burda (Poem praising the Prophet)
There is not one valid Islamic proof that denies the Islamic permissibility of:
*Tawassul - asking Allah by others *
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: Prophet Muhammad taught a blind companion to make tawassul. (Sahih hadith classified as Sahih by 16 Huffath, among them is Hafith al-Bayhaqiy, al-Hakim, at-Tabaraniy in his Mu^jam)
Sahfa^ah - Intercession; Asking Allah by others for others
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: Allah specified it to Prophet Muhammad in the Qur’an, also Prophet Muhammad mentioned that his intercession will be for Muslims sinners of his nation. (Dara-Qutniy)
Mawlid - Celebrating Prophet Muhammad's Birth
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: Prophet Muhammad said <
*Ziyarah - Visiting the grave of the Prophet *
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: the Prophet said “whe who visits my grave will gain my intercession”
Tabarruk - Seeking blessings by him or his traces; hair, clothes
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: Prophet Muhammad spread his hair for the companions to seek barakah from it. (Sahih Al-Bukhariy)
*Madih - Praising Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam. *
Islamic Judgment: Is permissible and rewardable
Proof: Allah praised him in the Qur’an by having the best of manners.
All of these acts are Islamic acts inherited by hundreds of millions of Muslims and they based that on Islamic foundations not by imitation. The only group that denies the validity of these great Islamic acts that grants its doer reward, wahabies. They are the only sect that declares war and takfeer (declaring as blasphemers) for the Muslims who implement these great acts. They think they are knowledgeable about the religion, they are missing a lot of knowoedge about the Islamic basics not to mention the details of the rules of the religion.
For more info about wahabies, you will find them on www.alsunna.org/forum under Islam against Extremism forum.
Allah knows best.

Hmmm How is this Shirk? There are many kinds of bid'ah you know.
Bid'ah
A Bid'ah is that innovation which came into practice after the blessed age of the Prophet (salall laahu alaihi wasallam) be it worldly or religious. Some people say that to celebrate the Meelad, Esaale Sawaab for the deceased, making Fateha after the Janazah Salaah, etc. to be Bid?ah and in some cases as Haraam. They say these were not practised in the time of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).We will now list a few things, which were not during the blessed age of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) but were innovated afterwards and made part and parcel of religion:
a.of Construction Madressas,
b. Dividing the Quran into thirty parts,
c. Marking the expressions on the Holy Quran, viz. Fatha, Kasra, Dhamma (Zabbar, Zer, Pesh),
d. Printing the Holy Book and other religious books in the press,
e. The compilation of I'lm-e-Hadith and Fiqh,
f. To put down the Holy verses of the Quran in paper form, etc.
All the above-mentioned things are Bid?ahs, which were not in the blessed age of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) but are considered religious. Those who say that Moulood and Fateha are Bid?ahs because those religious affairs which were innovated after the blessed age of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) should have a look at the above list and show us which of these two things are not included in the religion and which was there in the blessed age?
The Hadith: "Whosoever invents a new thing in our religion is rejected" means that whoever innovates a new belief or whoever innovates a new action which is in contradiction with the Kitaab and Sunnah will be rejected.
The books "Shaami" and "Mirqaat" say that Bid'ah is of five categories, viz. Ja'iz, Waajib, Mustahab, Makruh and Haraam.
We will have to omit many things which are known to be part and parcel of religion but were innovated after the blessed age of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) such as the Masaa'ils of Fiqh, the four Madhabs, viz. Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali; the Tariqas, viz. Nashbandiyya, Qaderiyya, Chistiyya, Shuhruwardiyya, Alwiyya, etc.; the denominations of the Sufiyya-Ikraam; the categorisation of the six Kalimahs, Imaan-e-Mujmal, Imaan-e-Mufassal; the division of the Holy Quran into 30 parts; the compilation of the knowledge of Hadith and the categorisation of Hadiths, i.e. Sahih, Da'if, Hassan, Mu'addal, etc.; the construction of madressa and arrangement of their syllabuses; and to set a course for achieving the degree of Aalim and Qari and to present certificates on the completion of the course to the respective students, etc. will all be Haraam if we accept a statement that all Bid'ahs are Haraam and there is nothing like Bid'ah-e-Hasana. In fact, there is no act of Shari'ah or Tariqah, which is void of Bid'ah. Then how much will you try to avoid such a Haraam (as you say) when it is surrounding your whole religious activity. So, therefore, all Bid'ahs are not Haraam but only those, which contradict with the Kitaab and Sunnah.
Bid'ah Amali (innovated action) is classified in two:-
Bid'ah-e-Hasana (praiseworthy innovation) is that action which does not contradict with the Holy Quran and the Sunnah and was brought into practice after the time of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) for example, to construct religious institutions, to print the Holy Quran in the press, to hold gatherings of Meelad, to eat nice food and to put on attractive clothes, etc. Bid'ah-e-Hasana is not only permissible (Ja'iz) but at times it can be appreciable (Mustahab) and even essential (Waajib).
Bid'ah-e-Sai'iyya (offensive innovation) is that action which was not in practice in the blessed age of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and which contradicts with the Holy Quran and the Sunnah, for example to say the Khutba of Eid or Jum'a in a language other than Arabic, etc. Bid'ah-e-Sai'iyya can be Makruh Tanzhi or Makruh Tahrimi or even Haraam.
Bid'ah-e-Hasana is further divided into three categories:-
Bid'ah Ja'iz (Permissable): is that action which the Shari'ah prohibited and which is done without expecting any reward or punishment for it. For example, partaking in a variety of delicious dishes or wearing nice and attractive clothing, etc.
Bid'ah Mustahab (appreciable): is that act which is done with an anticipation for earning reward, for example to celebrate the Meelad-un-Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) or to pray Fateha for the souls of deceased Muslims, etc. If is is done with the intention of gaining rewards, he will gain reward for it, and if one does not do it, he will not be reprimanded for it.
Bid'ah Waajib (essential): is that new action which has not been prohibited in the Shari'ah but to omit it will lead to critical complications in the religion. For example, to put the expressions (I'raab) in the Holy Quran such as Fatha, Kasra and Dhumma, to constuct madressas for teaching the Holy Quran and Hadith and to learn and teach the knowledge of nahv (Arabic syntax), etc. are all Bid'ah Wajib.
Offensive Bid'ah is categorised in two:-
Bid'ah Makruh (abominable): is that innovation the performing of which will lead to the annihilation of a Sunnah. If a Ghaiyr Mu'akkidah Sunnah is annihilated then it is Makruh Tanzihi and if a Mu'akkidah Sunnah is annihilated then it is Makruh Tahrimi. For example, to pray the Eid Khutba in a language other than Arabic, etc. is Bid'ah Makruh Tahrimi.
Bid'ah Haraam (prohibited): is that innovation which will lead to the annihilation of a Waajib. For example, the introductions of beliefs which are in contradiction with the Kitab and Sunnah, such as Qadriyya who believe, that man has got all the power to do whatever he wishes, etc.
The first volume of "Ashi'atul Lam'aat" (Babul I'tisaam) says about Bid'ah Hasana and Sai'iyya under the Hadith: "Every Bid'ah is a delusion (misleading)" that any Bid?ah which is in accordance with the principles, the canons of Islamic Law and the Sunnah and has been deduced analogically from the Quran or Sunnah (through Qiyas) is Bid'ah-e-Hasana and that which is in contrasts to the above definition is Bid'ah-e-Sai'iyya.
A Hadith in "Miskhat" under Babul-I'lm says: "He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is reward for him for this (act of goodness) and a reward for him also who acts according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acts upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burdens." From this Hadith we see that to introduce a nice way in Islam which is in accordance with the Holy Quran and Sunnah will induce rewards and to do vice versa will provoke punishment.
In the preface of the book, "Shaami", under Faza'il Imam A'zam Abu Hanifa (alaihir rahmah), it is written: "The scholars say these Ahadith are the canons of Islam and that is whoever introduces a bad way in Islam, he will get the burden of the sins of all those who act upon it and whoever introduces a nice way he will get reward of all those who act upon it till the Day of Judgement".
