Description

This luminous collection, Qä¿¿id wa Aby¿t li-Rab¿¿ al-Awwal wa al-Fay¿ al-A¿mad¿, gathers together the poems and devotional couplets of Shaykh al-Isl¿m Ibr¿h¿m Niasse (1900-1975), one of the greatest Muslim scholars of the 20th century. Known to millions across West Africa and beyond as the bringer of the Fay¿ah Mu¿ammadiyyah (the Muhammadan Outpouring), Shaykh Ibr¿h¿m recited these verses throughout the blessed month of Rab¿¿ al-Awwal, the season of the Prophet's ¿ birth.
The poems themselves weave together praise, history, and awe. They describe the light of the Prophet ¿ that existed before creation, his safe transfer through the noble lineages of prophets, and the miraculous events that marked his birth. ¿minah's vision of castles illuminated, the idols of Quraysh crumbling, fires extinguished, and seas stilled-all appear in vivid imagery that fills the heart with reverence.
The text repeatedly greets the month of Rab¿¿ al-Awwal with joy: "Welcome to the month of the birth, the month of exaltedness and eminence, the month of the Prophet A¿mad, the month of Rab¿¿ al-Awwal." Each stanza connects the Prophet's ¿ birth to divine mercy and cosmic renewal, reminding the believer that his arrival was the beginning of hope, the lifting of burdens, and the illumination of the horizons.
Verses also highlight the Prophet's exalted character and unique station: the one "who never wronged at all, from whom only goodness issued forth." His name is described as joined with Allah's own, proclaimed five times daily in the call to prayer. His virtues are without limit, such that any honor or praise ascribed to him only falls short of his true reality.
The poems then move into collective supplication, seeking from Allah guidance, provision, protection, and a blessed end through the status of the Messenger ¿. These closing sections underline the purpose of the Mawlid: to remind the believer that love of the Prophet ¿ is inseparable from seeking nearness to Allah.
Beyond the beauty of the poems themselves, the edition is enriched with Arabic text and facing English translation making it easy for both for devotional recitation and for study.
