To celebrate the BCJ Eid Milan 1438 (2017) presents “Balaghal-Ula Bi-Kamalihi” Taha delivered with heartfelt emotion and melodic panache. “Balaghal-Ula Bi-Kamalihi” is a popular is a multilingual Naat (praise of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ) that centers around a famous Arabic quatrain (Verse,rubai) by the Persian poet Saadi Shirazi (1210-1292). This qawwali most famously performed by the late Sabri Brothers, Ghulam Farid Sabri (1930-1994) and Maqbool Ahmed Sabri (1945-2011), The main poem is: “Balaghal-ula bi-kamaalihi / Kashafad-duja bi-jamaalihi / Hasunat jameeu khisaalihi / Sallu alaihi wa aalihi”. (This is in Arabic) Much of the rest of the qawwali focuses on the story of the “MIRAAJ” (“ascension”), an event in Muhammad’s ﷺ lifetime during which he is said to have ascended to heaven and beyond (to the Placeless Origin to visit the throne of God) on a winged creature named Buraq. The entire trip is said to have occurred in one night.
