Taniya - Tahni'atu ar-Rabi'

Taniya — Tahni'atu ar-Rabi' (تَهْنِئَةُ الرَّبِيعِ) Taniya brings you the complete text of "Tahni'atu ar-Rabi'" (The Felicitation of Rabī' al-Awwal), the beloved devotional poem collection composed and recited by Shaykh Ibrahim ibn al-Hajj Abdullah al-Khulakhi at-Tijani — known to many as Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (Baye Niasse) — during the blessed nights of Rabi' al-Awwal, in honor of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
