Content<\/td>\nThe document is a poem written by Serigne Mor Kayre (also known as S\u00ebri\u00f1 Moor Kayre, 1869-1951), one of the earliest Murid Ajami scholars and poets. In the poem, he praises Prophet Muhammad and celebrates his miracles. The poem describes the contexts and circumstances in which he enacted those miracles. These include healing the sick and the crippled, talking to rocks, leading a metaphysical fight against his enemies, foretelling the future, and blessing his supporters. The poem also celebrates the Prophet Muhammad for focusing on the teachings of the Quran in his mission and helping lost persons to follow the right path. It retraces the obstacles that he faced, and lists the names of famous leaders who fought him and questioned the truthfulness of his mission.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
