The qasidatu-r ra’iyyah fi kanji sawa’iyyah is an ode of ten quatrains extolling the virtues and miraculous exploits of Al-Sayyid Shahu-l Hamid al-Qadiri al-Naguri, may Allah illuminate his mausoleum. He is widely acclaimed as the patron saint of the South Indian Muslims.
The ode was composed by the eminent South Indian reviver [mujaddid] of the 17th century and a spiritual guide of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir, Al-Shaikh Sadaqatu-Llah ibn Sulaiman al-Qahiri, may Allah be pleased with him.
This ode features prominently in Mawlid compendiums that originate from South India. One of the unique features of this composition is that each of the 40 lines of the ode end with the Arabic letter “ra” – hence the name ‘ra’iyyah‘.
It being the month commemorating the anniversary of the noble saint, TAQWA.sg is honoured to present this ornamented version of the beautiful ode.
Success is from Allah.
