DIYN Mawlid Fund

Every Rabi al-Awwal, communities across the globe unite to celebrate the birth of the Best of Creation ﷺ through sacred gatherings of Hadith, devotional poetry, and deep study of the Sira. The poetry and scholarship of luminaries like Imam al-Busiri, Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani, and Imam Ahmad Rida Khan are timeless treasures of our heritage. We invite you to carry this celebration forward into lasting knowledge and transformative spiritual practice.

AlhamduliLlah, we are honoured to introduce the Mawlid Fund. Each year, our global community comes together to critically edit, print, and distribute distinguished classical works dedicated to the life, miracles, teachings, and blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ. Join us in building an enduring legacy of devotion and sacred learning for generations to come.

MAWLID FUND 1448 A.H.

The Burdah of Imam al-Busiri

For the blessed season of Mawlid 1448 A.H., Supporting Sunni Scholars proudly announces its Mawlid Fund project: the crown jewel of prophetic panegyrics, Al-Burdah, formally titled Al-Kawakib al-Durriyya fi Madh Khayr al-Bariyya ﷺ (The Resplendent Stars in Praise of the Best of Creation ﷺ).

Composed by the prince of poets and foremost scholar-poet, Imam Sharaf al-Din Muhammad ibn Sa'id al-Busiri (d. 696 A.H.), the Burdah stands as the undisputed bride of devotional poetry. For centuries, its radiant verses have illuminated gatherings across the Islamic world, embraced by generations of scholars competing to serve its lines to gain proximity to the Beloved Prophet ﷺ.

This special edition presents the text with the meticulous vocalisation, textual corrections, and analytical marginalia (Hawashi) of the eminent twentieth-century polymath and defender of the Prophetic tradition, Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani. By pairing al-Busiri’s timeless verses with al-Nabhani’s scholarly precision, the Mawlid Fund 1448 A.H. delivers an authoritative, illuminated volume designed to revive and elevate devotional study and recitation in gatherings worldwide.

If you become a means for disseminating books on invoking prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ, then you will be blessed and enveloped in Allah’s prayers for as long as these books continue to be read and circulated—perhaps even until the Day of Resurrection.

Thus, whenever you aspire to receive immense spiritual aid from the Prophet ﷺ, let your share be significant in spreading these books and these invocations among people, as a means of drawing closer to the noble presence of the Prophet ﷺ.
