synopsis:
This is Part-1 of a 2-Part show, where we shall be listening back to a very special ‘Live Poets for Peace’ event which took place online, that we just could not keep to ourselves. And where, by the grace of God, 14 very acclaimed Muslim poets took part, who were from various backgrounds, with various styles and shared their poetry on various aspects of their belief in Islam. This was a live event, so apologies are in order in advance if at some times the sound isn’t as perfect as it usually is on this show. However, we are sure you are going to forgive and forget about that, and will be focusing on the inspiring poetry itself.
During this show we shall be first hearing from Imam Raza Ahmad who shall be providing a brief introduction on poetry in Islam and its relevance, followed by a beautiful recitation by Imam Imran Khalid on a particular verse of the Holy Quran which mentions poetry and its purpose.
Thereafter we shall introduce and hear from the first 6 of the 14 poets on this show, who shall be presenting an assortment of poetry, each with their own styles which we hope will give you their poetical and inspiring insight into Islam and some of its beautiful teachings which have affected their lives.
Don’t forget to listen in to Part 2 of this live event.
