|a This manuscript contains various items. The MS opens with a Dua, religious admonition, in Arabic. This is followed by the famous poem ‘WajiWaji’, which a waadhi, religious poem where the author laments the human tendency to struggle against God and urges adherence to the duties and principles of Islam. He writes of the self-interest of relatives on burial day and describes the events of the Day of Judgement. Each verse uses as ending syllables each letter of the Arabic alphabet in sequence. The Wajiwaji is followed by the Kasida ya Burdai in Arabic and Swahili, i.e. a line in Arabic and the following line is the translation in Swahili. For more information about the Kasida see MS 304, 279888-vol.2 (Allen). After the Kasida, thre is the common Islamic wedding speech in Arabic called ‘Khutbat Nnikab’, usually made by a religious minister, a Qadhi or a Sheikh, when sealing the wedding. The manuscript ends with a further short Dua, religious admonition. |
