| Sumario: | The author of this article proposes that the Burdah of al-Busiri is
a multi-thematic poetical work with multi-functional uses. It is
first and foremost a book of eulogies to Prophet Mohammad, extending
into panegyric. But it also serves as a source of blessing
to Sufi oriented-Muslims, for whom its recitation confers spiritual
and physical therapeutic benefits. In addition, the Burdah can be
read as a versed historical narrative of the life of the Prophet, although
in a highly stylized form. And for others, it serves as a
sourcebook of Sufi doctrinal beliefs. The scholar must bear in
mind its plural significance when treating the work under any of
the above categories, as these intersect at many levels.
