Tala‘ al-Badru ‘Alaynā (Arabic: طلع البدر علينا) is a traditional Islamic song known as nasheed that the Ansar (residents of Madinah) sang for Muhammad upon his arrival at Madinah, to welcome him after completing the Battle of Tabuk. Some claim it was first sung as he sought refuge there after being forced to leave his hometown of Mecca. The song is currently over 1450 years old, and one of the oldest in the Islamic culture.
