about

An adaptation/condensation of a Sufi piece heard on Radio Medi 1 broadcasting from Casablanca.The original title is unknown to me.A description the Buraq'Then he [Gabriel] brought the Buraq, handsome-faced and bridled, a tall, white beast, bigger than the donkey but smaller than the mule. He could place his hooves at the farthest boundary of his gaze. He had long ears. Whenever he faced a mountain his hind legs would extend, and whenever he went downhill his front legs would extend. He had two wings on his thighs which lent strength to his legs.The prophet Mohamed is said to have ridden this creature to the Seventh Heaven.
