The annual Cambridge recital of the Rawdat al-Shuhada by Imam Husayn Kashifi. Kashifi, who died in 1504, was the preacher at the Friday Mosque of Herat, now in Afghanistan. A major jurist of the Hanafi school, he wrote several tafsir works and a famous commentary on Hadith. His Rawda is recited today in many places in the month of Muharram, to recall the sorrows of the Prophetic family, and to remind us of the Islamic virtue of patience in adversity. In Turkey it is popular in a well-known translation by Fuduli (d.1556).
Our Cambridge version is a strongly abbreviated version of the original, with many recitals and songs in English, to benefit the audience. The melodies are taken from Celtic originals.
The text of this version is available from bookshops and online.
