Poem on Paradise.
We’ve seen many of those. Perhaps too many. Yet this particular literary work strikes a delicate balance of repetition, truth and imagination. I must say, this is probably my favourite Islamic poem. Favourite. Ever.
“Masha’Allah Tabarak’Allah,” as Sheikh Muhammad AlShareef would say!
A young Muslim and resident of New York City, Ammar Al-Shukri wrote this poem fairly recently and, upon its release, was immediatel circulated all throughout the Muslim community, astonishing many.
How’s that for a Jannah poem? Allahu Akbar, this brother [Masha'Allah] “spits out rhyme like it’s his mother tongue.” May Allah preserve him for our Ummah. Ameen.

I would agree have to agree, this is my favorite Islam poem.
Also best Islamic poem I have heard in English.
Yesss!
I think many would definitely agree… =)
Sweeter inspiration than the scent of morning dew,
I don’t tire as I respire with voices so true,
words that lift and wisdoms that drift,
from person to person to person
immersed in darkness remiss till this alchemists sayings break the rift
unkempt and hopeless and bent towards an abyss
darkness darkness darkness
gone, for now, with words of light that glow somehow
someday, I pray, his words grant him the pay
of ceaseless peace and a potent paradise
Jazakallhu khairun, keep it up insha’allah.
To a blogger like myself, comments like yours are a rare treat–so Jazakum Allah Khayr! A lovely poem, I must say. May Allah increase you your talent. Ameen.
