Nahnu Fi Rawdah  / Allahumma Salli

"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.

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 
----------

Qasidah Al Burdah

Chapter 5: The Prophet's Miracles

21 Track 04

Our beloved Muhammad upon him peace. Our beloved Muhammad upon him peace. 

What power do I have over myself? What about me is from me?
 
Why about rizq for what? When the Creator is sustaining me 

He continues to cover me always. so glory to Allah, the Wise, the Knowing. 

I have no power or strength. Except by the Great and High Lord.

I was born completely naked. Not knowing this or that. 

The protection of Allah the Very Generous. And He gave food to my soul. 

Milk running constantly. We eat and drink. 

And He made the earth a spread. And the sky a ceiling built above. 

What power do I have over myself? What about me is from me? 

Why about rizq for what? When the Creator is sustaining me

Glory be to the One who engulfed us with His bounty. Upon us to Him, praise and gratitude is obligatory. 

He is ever generous with us with His goodness, giving us from the heavens and the earth. 

The earth is the spread of Allah. And I am in the Kingdom of Allah. 

The creation are the dependents of Allah. And I am one of the creations of Allah.

Sustenance is on Allah. We eat from the sustenance of Allah. 

What should I be worried about? My portion will doubtlessly reach me.

M Zain Ul Abideen - Qad Kafani Ilmu Rabbi

Shaykh Yahya Rhodus- La Ilaaha Illallah Dhikr

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'

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

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