Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Does the Qasida Burda Contain Shirk

According to,

to some qasida Buddha is Shere Khan goes against the arcade of

the Allisonville GEMA. Certain verses are problematic, according

to critics, for instance, what these critics don't understand is

that qasida Buddha is a poem. And poems have poetic license. And

everybody understands that exaggeration takes place in

poetry. And it is to be understood in that, you know, it's to be put

into context like that. And that's the case with all poems.

And then other things is that what you have to look at is that

whenever somebody has said something that seems to be

strange, because there's nothing in qasida, Buddha, according to

anybody that is straightforward, clear, shirk, what they've taken

is there's one or two verses in the lines in there, which can be

interpreted in an exaggerated extreme manner, to be slightly

problematic. However, we have to have always a good opinion about

people, and expect that if it's such a great scholar as the poet,

then he would not have those kinds of meanings in mind. Because

Nowhere has he said it clearly. Now, if he had in another work of

his clearly stated some kind of shift key point. And now he stated

an ambiguous point in this in this poem, then we would assume that we

know what he means. We know that in another place, he said it

explicitly. So that's why he must also mean the shared care.

However, when he hasn't done that, and it's ambiguous, right. And

it's ambiguous, and so many people have benefited from benefited from

the entire poem, and it's filled with great gems and so on, then,

why should you discount it when the Ummah has celebrated it now?

One, is that, okay, it just came out, and we rejected it, that's

one thing, but when it has stood the test of time, and now somebody

comes up to me and starts criticizing it, and it's always

been a minority of the alumni have criticized and never the majority,

then we we have to look at it more wholesomely like that, and more

practically like that. So yes, if it's something which the majority

have rejected, and only a minority accept, then obviously I would

avoid that, because I would go with the majority when the

majority have accepted it to such a degree that it's actually

written in the row that of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi

wasallam and all these ornament of the past they never the majority

of the aroma of pass never protested against it, then why

should anybody else have an issue with it?

I think one needs to just be educated about the good the good

interpretations of it as opposed to the negative interpretations

that they may come about with. We are obviously going through the

task of the Buddha and we haven't come to those verses yet

Inshallah, when we will, will will give a full thorough inshallah

discussion about them. Bla
