A Muslims Poet: Gender

Welcome

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Asalamualikum and welcome to you all, Brothers and Sisters what we have here is a home for Muslim poets to present their poems and have them heard or share poems of other poets they would like us to hear. All styles are welcome and Inshallah, Allah will bring from this much goodness and may we be of the righteous kalaf to the likes of Hassan ibn Thabit may Allah be pleased with him (The poet of Allah's messenger, peace be upon him). Please feel free to send in your poems written or spoken so we may post them. Become an author here and you can post them your self. We hope through these efforts to propagate Islam so that it reaches the masses, defend Islam and its people from the onslaught of those who despise it, and tread the path of those who preceded us in guidance. Please keep in mind to keep the poems in accordance to the Quraan and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf of the Ummah.

Who Are The Fools That Have Mixed These Together

Water is virtuous and has unique pure qualities

Milk is virtuous and has unique pure qualities

When mixed together,

Milk has acquired the traits of water, and the water likewise

So milk is no longer milk and water is no longer water

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

Likewise, men are virtuous and have unique qualities

Women are virtuous and have unique qualities

When mixed together,

Men have acquired the traits of women, and the women likewise

Men are no longer men and women are no longer women

So, who are the fools that have mixed these together?

The Power of Speech

Speech has a power to the point that our Messenger peace be upon him came to say of it, as is narrated in al-Buhkari in the Book of Medicine

"Surely in some Speech is Sorcery"

& "Some speech has the effect of magic"

Or as he Peace be upon him stated.
He Peace be upon him also said concerning poetry

"Verily in (some) Poetry is wisdom"

And he May Allah's salutations be upon him used it as a means to propagate Islam by encouraging the Muslim poets to go forth and use it as a tool of Dawa'a, and in defense of the Muslim ummah, and it is this path we tread.

We plan to use this power of words for good. To be like the poets of the Sahabah and the Tabeen, and the Scholars and Muslims from after them. To use it as a media to spread al-Islam, propagate it, defend it and teach it. Likewise to give the Muslim poet an outlet and forum to express his/her creativity in all aspects of life, so as to make the Muslim view more prevalent in society.

The Muslim way of life is attacked from all angles today yet we believe that Islam is not just relevant to any time and place but rather makes any time or place better and brings forth the complete solutions to all problems. So we will go forward living it and call to it actively. Thus we will use our words to this ends. Wa Billahi at-Tafeeq
