Ya imam  Rusli Ya Sanadi

the ode of imam abdullah al hadad

The Qasida Muhammadiya is one of the most famous shorter compositions by Imam Busiri, in praise of The Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless him and give him peace.

This recording is from the weekly gathering of celebrating The Prophet, at SeekersHub Toronto [http://www.SeekersHub.org], on September 15th 2011.

I've used an Edirol R-09 recorder, mounted on a tripod about two feet away from me. The microphone on this was excellent at capturing the feel of the gathering in stereo sound. In post-production, I've just added the "Live Performance" effect in GarageBand.

Nader Khan: The Muhammadan Ode ("Qasida Muhammadiya")

This poem in praise of The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, is one of my favourites.  This past Thursday (October 6th, 2011), we sang it again at SeekersHub Toronto, in an East African style.

NaderKhan: The Muhammadan Ode ("Qasida Muhammadiya") in an East African style

As a blinding light you came to us,
And just as suddenly you went away.
The universe still resonates,
With echoes of "Sall Allah ‘alaih”.

O flash of light, in the flow of time,
O sweet Medinan beloved of mine,
I speak with you in broken words,
With a broken heart, and a broken rhyme.

My life is you, and my love is you,
My connection to The Lord Above is you,
My means to earn His love is you,
My cure from distress and dismay.

As a blinding light you came to us,
And just as suddenly you went away.
The universe still resonates,
With echoes of "Sall Allah ‘alaih”.

More generous there's never been, 
More beautiful was never seen,
I surrender at your doorstep
All my dunya and my deen.

O one who came in The Merciful's sight,
With His words "Let there be light",
Convey my broken-hearted plight,
That a glance of Mercy be cast my way.

As a blinding light you came to us,
And just as suddenly you went away.
The universe still resonates,
With echoes of "Sall Allah ‘alaih”.

No eye has seen such beauty as thine
No dame has borne such a one so fine
You’re created free of flaw
As if by your own design

May The Lord, upon you, send His peace,
Salutations, blessings, that never cease,
And to us a gentle breeze,
That makes us weep our nights away.

As a blinding light you came to us,
And just as suddenly you went away.
The universe still resonates,
With echoes of "Sall Allah ‘alaih”.

Nader Khan- Echoes

8- Ya Shafi'al Wara

The Nasiri Dua is from the pen of the renowned Susi Shaykh of the Shadhiliyya Tariqa. Shaykh ibn Nasir (d. 1085 AH) was a Shaykh of instruction who made an important impact not only on his time but ever since through his baraka(blessings), his learning, his writings and the great Zawiya(the Sufi place of worship) and Madrassah (Muslim School). His Zawiya in Fez became the fountainhead of the national awakening which led to the liberation of the entire Maghrib from French colonialism. Faced with the massive military strength of France, its trained and technologically equipped army as well as its air force, the ulama (the Muslim Scholars) recognised that in military terms there was no chance of victory. It must be remembered that during this time French planes were indiscriminately bombing and machine-gunning those villages and settlements that resisted the occupation. The French bombing of the Moroccan Muslims was the model which the fascist forces of Germany and Italy were later to use in the bombing of Guernica and, then, across Europe. It was in this situation that Shaykh ibn Nasir adopted his position of the most powerful resistance to the enemy. He created a Dua (Supplication)  which adhered to an uncomprimising Tawhid (The oneness of Allah), and at the same time that it declared the Muslims' utter helplessness, it confirmed the absolute, unrelenting and inescapable power of Allah, glory be to Him. He then embedded this declaration of absolute dependence in the luminous and dazzling confirmation that Allah, glory be to Him, was the Answerer of supplications. The Shaykh, being the true voice of the Muslims, called Allah, glory be to Him, to rescue the Muslim people from the tyranny of the French hordes. In the shortest time the Dua swept across the Maghrib until it was being recited in almost every Mosque. The decadent French provincial governors began to sense that a new wind of defiance and hope was lifting the Moroccan people into a pride and defiance they had not seen. Despite the alcoholism and depravity of the French High Command their intelligence forces quickly traced this new spirit to the recitation of the Nasiri Dua. In desperation they informed Paris of this new problem. An order came from the President of France authorising the French forces to issue an edict banning the public recitation in the Mosques of the Nasiri Dua. When news of this reached the ulama and Sufis in the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez their hearts overflowed in recognition of The Nasiri Dua that conquered the military might of France. So it was that , from that day, an inspired people moved inexorably to independence from the French, and the restoration of a Sharifi kingship. What was the position of the Maghribi Muslims in the face of the occupation is now the position of the world's Muslims in the face of that tiny oligarchy which has swept aside national and international law, while deliberately bringing about the destruction of the planet in their ruthless control through the wealth of commodities, media and the usury finance system. It is important that the Muslims spread this Dua until its reverberation undermines the foundations of the current tyranny. It is not, however, a pyramid letter the spreading of which alone will secure success. The value of the Nasiri Dua is that, once understood and recited, the modern Muslim begins to think and plan and act in the clear recognition that the enemy are not strong, that their money is worthless, that their systematisation creates chaos and not order. By this Dua, we become the ones who can construct the future on the ruins now strewn across the deserts of humanism.

more than he gave during his life
