Qaṣāʾid wa Abyāt li-Rabīʿ al-Awwal wa al-Fayḍ al-Aḥmadī gathers the devotional poems of Shaykh al-Islām Ibrāhīm Niasse (1900–1975), revered across West Africa as the bringer of the Fayḍah Muḥammadiyyah (Muhammadan Outpouring). Recited during Rabīʿ al-Awwal, they celebrate the Prophet’s ﷺ birth with vivid imagery: castles illuminated, idols collapsing, fires extinguished, and seas stilled.

The verses trace the primordial light of the Prophet ﷺ, his passage through noble lineages, and his exalted character—“the one who never wronged at all, from whom only goodness issued forth.” His name, joined with Allah’s, echoes daily in the call to prayer, affirming his unmatched station.

Closing supplications seek guidance, provision, and nearness to Allah through the Prophet ﷺ. Presented with Arabic text and English translation, this edition invites both heartfelt recitation and study.
