With gratitude to The Winterspring Mawlid and Dr. This series will explore the different nasheeds, penned by some of the great historical Muslim figures, poets, and scholars. These nasheeds originating from all corners of the Muslim world – from West Africa to Malaysia, from Turkey to Great Britian – mirror their own culture but all carry a common thread: love of Allah and His Messenger. These nasheeds were able to reach out to those who were alienated or indifferent to the religion and the Muslim community, as well as to teach children who were too young for academic study. They were also tools to spread the message of Islam in a non-confrontational way. These nasheeds were a way for people to turn towards their Lord in joyful celebration, rather than stringent routine.

Throughout the decades and civilisations of Islam, the vocal tradition, sometimes known as nasheed or devotional songs, were penned as a way of celebrating and giving thanks to Allah for the message of Islam, as well as for the Messenger himself.

The first chapter of this poem speaks of the writer’s love and longing.
