The Mantle Adorned

Verse 55. As a flower in delicacy, as the full moon in honour, like the sea in bounty, as persistent as time itself
Verse 56. Such is his splendour that even alone in his glory superb courtiers and guards seem to stand around him
Finally, ‘The Mantle Adorned: Imam Busiri’s Burda’ translated by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, is available at Wardah Books. It is a breathtakingly beautiful book filled with praise and love for the Noble Messenger of God, s.a.w.
Each illuminated page bears a verse of the Burda, its translation, and a related poem by another poet echoing the same expression. The echoing poem on the photographed page here is by the famous Nusantara Sufi, Hamza Fansuri.
All are welcome to Wardah Books to peruse this immaculate volume.
