Al-Tarānīm al-Mughannāh

Taranim al-Mughanah: Birds' Melodies is a spiritual masterpiece written by Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, an eloquent and profound tribute to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Spanning 160 lines, this poem flows with beauty and elegance, covering themes of love, yearning, description, and miracles—all framed within the deep spiritual connection between the author and the Prophet. The poem explores the Shamail (noble characteristics) of the Prophet, shedding light on his divine qualities, and emphasizes the duties and adab (etiquette) we owe to him as his followers.

In Taranim al-Mughanah, Shaykh al-Yaqoubi takes the reader on a journey of devotion, starting with the pilgrimage to Hajj. He paints a vivid picture of a traveler who, retracing the footsteps of the Prophet, walks along the same paths the Prophet took—through the lands of Tabouk and back to Madinah al-Munawwarah. Each place, each step, evokes the Shaykh’s profound attachment to the Prophet and his yearning for the blessed locations the Prophet himself once graced.

The verses are filled with rich descriptions, capturing the emotions of a traveler who feels a deep connection to the places where the Prophet once walked, fought, and lived. As the Shaykh expresses his love and longing, he masterfully intertwines the historical events with a spiritual reflection on the Prophet’s miracles, compassion, and the divine light that radiated from him. This sense of profound love for the Prophet shines through every line, and the reader is invited to experience that same longing.

A significant feature of this work is how Shaykh al-Yaqoubi seamlessly connects classical Arabic poetic style with a modern spiritual vision. His elegant language and lyrical flow resonate with deep emotional and spiritual depth, making it a work that not only praises the Prophet but also invites the reader to reflect on their own relationship with him. The Shamail (characteristics) of the Prophet are brought to life in such a way that each verse becomes an act of worship, each line a deeper connection to the light of the Prophet.

Taranim al-Mughanah has been performed by some of the finest singers from Morocco, whose beautiful renditions have given the poem a new dimension of musical elegance. These performances, paired with the Shaykh’s verses, bring to life the spiritual essence of the work and evoke a powerful emotional response from the listener, making this work a truly unique and unforgettable tribute to the Prophet.

This jewel of a book is more than just a poetry collection; it is a spiritual journey that stirs the heart and soul, deepening the reader's love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). For those seeking to enhance their love and understanding of the Prophet and his divine attributes, Taranim al-Mughanah is an essential read, a perfect blend of poetry, devotion, and reflection. A must-have for any lover of the Arabic language, classical poetry, and the timeless beauty of the Prophet’s legacy.
