The mawlid of Imam Ja’far al-Barzanji (d.1764) is one of the most popular recitals celebrating the Prophetic birth, and is traditionally recited on the anniversary of his birth. This recording of the mawlid was made in Cape Town with the celebrated Mawlid Jama’at of the Al-Zawiya Mosque under the direction of Sh. Seraj Hendricks.
