"Qad Kafani `Ilmu Rabbi" (My Lord's Knowledge Suffices Me) is a powerful statement of reliance and trust on Allah, authored by Imam Abdullah b. Alawi al-Haddad (1634 CE [1044 Hijri] - 1720 CE [1132 Hijri]), the great Islamic scholar and spiritual guide from Hadhramawt, Yemen. Imam al-Haddad was a distinguished poet, and this particular qasida (devotional song) is one of his most-recited poems. A brief bio of the Imam may be found here:http://www.alhaddad.org/blog/?p=382. Information taken by Nader Khan.

The Qasida was sung on the bus route to Dar al Mustafa by Belal Nikro (AUS) and brothers who attended the 2013 annual dowra. Picture taken by Belal Nikro.

(the lyrics in Arabic, along with the translation, may be downloaded from:http://www.halaqa.org/Media/Docs/Qad%20kafani%20english.pdf)

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me 
 from asking or choosing 
For my du’a and my agonising supplication 
 is a witness to my poverty. 
For this secret (reason) I make supplication  
in times of ease and times of difficulty 
I am a slave whose pride  
is in his poverty and obligation 
---------- 
O my Lord and my King 
 You know my state 
And what has settled in my heart  
of agonies and preoccupations 
Save me with a gentleness  
from You, O Lord of Lords 
Oh save me, Most Generous  
before I run out of patience (with myself) 
---------- 
O One who is swift in sending aid 
 I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly 
It will defeat all difficulty  
and it will bring all that I hope for 
O Near One Who answers  
and All-Knowing and All-Hearing 
I have attained realisation through my incapacity,  
my submission and my brokenness 
---------- 
I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord 
 have mercy on my standing 
And in the valley of generosity, I am in i’tikaf (solitary retreat)   
So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent 
And I’m abiding by good opinion (of You) 
 For it is my friend and ally 
And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company  
All day and night 
---------- 
There is a need in my soul, O Allah  
so please fulfill it, O Best of Fulfillers 
And comfort my secret and my heart 
 from its burning and its shrapnel 
In pleasure and in happiness  and 
as long as You are pleased with me 
For joy and expansion is my state  
and my motto and my cover 
----------

Qasida Imam Zain Al-Abedin (a.s) - Ya Sayyidi Irhamlana

Qasida Muhammadiya, East African style.  This is not my recording - I haven't recorded it, nor do I claim ownership.  I found this file in an old folder that I was cleaning out on a very old hard drive.

I don't know who the group is, or exactly where this is being performed.  All I know, is that *THIS* is what a mawlid should sound like.

This is Chapter 4 of the famous work, known as The Burdah, sung by Manaqib Nasheeds.

Al-Busiri narrated the circumstances of his inspiration to write the Burdah:

...I had composed a number of praise poems for the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, including one that was suggested to me by my friend Zayn al-Dīn Yʿaqūb b. al-Zubayr. Some time after that, I was stricken by fālij (stroke), an illness that paralyzed half of my body. I thought that I would compose this poem, and so I made supplications to the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, to intercede for me and (and ask God to) cure me. I repeatedly sang the poem, wept, prayed, and asked for intercession. Then I slept and in my dream, I saw the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace. He wiped my face with His blessed hands and covered me in His Mantle (Burdah). Then I woke up and found I was able to walk; so I got up and left my house. I had told no one about what had happened.

I encountered a Sufi (faqīr) on my way and he said to me: “I want you to give me the poem in which you praise the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace.”

I said: “Which one?”

So he said: ”The one that you composed during your sickness.”

Then he recited the first verse and said: “I swear by God that I heard it in a dream last night being sung in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace. I saw the Prophet, Allah bless Him and salute Him with peace, was pleased with it and covered the person who sang it with His Mantle.”
So I recited the poem to him and he memorized it and related his vision to others. 
— Imam al-Busiri

The Burda is divided into 10 chapters and 160 verses all rhyming with each other. Interspersing the verses is the refrain, "My Patron Deity, confer blessings and peace continuously and eternally on Your Beloved, the Best of All Creation" (Arabic: مولاي صلي و سلم دائما أبدا على حبيبك خير الخلق كلهم). Each verse ends with the Arabic letter mīm, a style called mīmīya. The 10 chapters of the Burda comprise:
On Lyrical Love Yearning
On Warnings about the Caprices of the Self
On the Praise of the Prophet
On His Birth
On His Miracles
On the Exalted Stature and Miraculous Merits of the Qur'an
On the Ascension of the Prophet
On the Struggle of Allah’s Messenger
On Seeking Intercession through the Prophet
On Intimate Discourse and the Petition of One’s State.

يـامـن إلى رحمتــه المـــفر * ومن إليـــه يلجـأ المضــطر
ويا قـــريب العفــو يامولاه * ويا مجيب كل من دعـــــاه
بك استغثــنا يا مغيث الضعـفا * وحسبـنا يا رب أنت وكــفى
فلا أجل من عظيم قــــدرتك * ولا أعـز من عـــزيز سطوتك
لعــز ملكك الملــوك تخضـع * تخفض رغما من تشاء وترفـــع
والأمـــر كلـــه إليك رده * وفي يديــك حلـه وعقــده
وقد رفعــنا أمــــرنا إليك * وقد شكــونا ضعفــنا عليك
فارحمـنا يامن لايــزال عالمــا * بضعفــنا ولا يـزال راحمــا
وانظر إلى ما مســنا بين الـورى * فحــالنا من بينــهم كما ترى
قد قَــلَّ جمعـنا وقَـلَّ وفــرنا * وانحط ما بين الجـموع قــدرنا
واستضعفونا شوكــــة وشدة * واستنقصــونا عَــدَّةً وعُـدَّه
فنحن يا من ملكــــه لايسلب * لذنا بجــاهك الـذي لايغـلب
إليك ياغوث الفــــقير نستند * عليك يا كهــف الضعيف نعتمد
أنت الذي تدعى لكشف الغـمرات * أنت الذي ترجى لـدفع الحسرات
أنت العنايـــــة التي لا ترتجي * حمايــة من غـير بابهــا تجي
أنت الذي نسـعى لباب فضــله * أكــرم من أغـنى بفيض نيلـه
أنت الذي تهــدي إذا ضللــتنا * أنت الذي تعـــفو إذا زللــنا
وسعت كل ما خلقت علــــما * ورأفــة ورحمــة وحلــما
وليس منا في الوجــود أصــغر * ولا لمــا عنـدك مـنا أفــقر
يا واسع الإحسـان يامن خــيره * عم الـورى ولا ينـادى غــيره
يامنقذ الغــرقى ويا حنـــان * يامنـجىَّ الهلــكى ويا منــان
ضاق النطـــاق يا سميع يا مجيب * عـزَّ الـدواء يابصير ياقــريب
وقــد مــددنا ربنا الأكــفا * ومنك ربنا رجــونا اللــطفا
ألطف بنا لمـــا به قضيـــتا * ورضِّنـا لما بــه رضيـــتا
وأبدل اللهم حـــال العــسر * باليسـر وامـددنا بـريح النـصر
واجعل لنا على البغــاة الغلبــه * واقصر يد الـشر على من طلبــه
واقهر عدانا ياعــزيز قـــهرا * يفـصم حبلـهم ويفني الــدهر
واعكس مــرادهم وخيب سعيهم * واهــزم جيـوشهم وأبدل رأيهم
وعجــل اللهم بهم نقمـــتك * فأنهــم لايعـجزون قــدرتك
يارب يارب بــــحبل عصمتك * قد اعتصـمنا وبــعَزِّ نصـرتك
فكن لنـــا ولاتكن عـــلينا * ولاتكــلنا طرفــة إليـــنا
فما أطعنا قـــوة للــــدفع * ومااستطـعنا حيلــة للــنفع
وما قصدنا غير بابك الكــــريم * وما رجونا غير فضلك العظــيم
أما رجت من غيرك الــــظنون * بنفس ما تقــــول كن يكون
يارب يارب بك التوســـــل * لما لـــديك وبك التوصــل
يارب أَنْتْ وكيلــنا الرفيـــع * يارب أنت حـصننا المنيــــع
يارب يارب أنلــــنا الأمــنا * إذ ارتحلــــنا وإذا أقـــمنا
يارب وأحفظ زرعــنا وضرعـنا * وأحفظ تجَّـارنا ووفـق جمــعنا
واجعـل بلادنا بــلاد الــدين * وراحـة المحــتاج والمســكين
واجعل لما بين البــلاد صولــه * وحُرمـة ومنعـــة ودولــه
واجعــل من السر المصون عزهـا * واجعل من الستر الجميل حـرزها
واجعــــــل بص وبق وبن * ألف حجاب من ورائها يــكون
بجـــــاه نور وجهك الكريم * وجاه سر عــرشك العظــيم
وجـــــــاه لااله الاالله * وجاه خير الخلـــــق يارباه
وجـاه ما بـه دعـاك الانبــيا * وجاه مابــه دعـــاك الاوليا
وجــــاه قدر القطب والأوتاد * وجاه حال الجــــرس الأفراد
وجاه الأخيــار وجاه النجــبا * وجاه الإبـدال وجاه النـــقبا
وجـــاه كل عـــابد وذاكر * وجاه كل حامـــــد وشاكر

La Inn Azzani by Sh Ibrahim Niass

3- Al-Qasidah Al-Muhammadiyyah

A resource for traditional qasidas (poems, odes), naats and nasheeds taken from around the world, most of which are written by various spiritual masters of the sacred path of sufism (tassawuf - the Islamic science of spirituality).

'The aim of qasidas or spiritual odes is to worship the creator, by turning the hearts to the Divine, who says 'And when My servants ask you of Me, truly I am close' (Quran 2:186).

The purpose of qasidas in the Sufi path is to convey the experiential gnosis of forebears to subsequent generations, for what comes from the heart goes into the heart, and most of the poets who wrote them where Shaykhs of the spiritual paths (tariqa) who addressed their words to those with experiences like themselves or to aspirants.

The person who can benefit from such qasidas is someone whose way lies with the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), and whose heart lies with Allah'

Source: Echoes from Eternity (Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller)

The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Truly, in some poetry, there is wisdom.” [Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud]
