Inspiring Poems About The Holy Quran

Bismillahi rahmani raheem,
Yesterday I stumbled upon two inspiring poems about The Holy Quran (Koran) in this lovely website called, Sparkly Water.com. They are not only beautiful but very evocative. So I thought I’ll share them with you through my blog.

This first poem is almost like a poetically written introduction to The Holy Quran.

The Miracle of the Quran

Brothers and sisters, to increase your Iman
Read the Miracle – read the Quran
Recite it everyday and to recite it be proud
For the word ‘Quran’ means to recite aloud
And this is to know – for those who are keener:
Around 28 Surahs were revealed in Madinah
The Book from Allah – the Lord of the worlds
Over 6000 verses / 77,000 words
Read it with respect – notice the auras
Al-Fatiha to An-Nás – all 114 Surahs
In this Book, 25 Prophets are mentioned by name
Came at different times, but the message the same
The verses revealed over a 23 year span
Sent from Allah, through an angel to man
He gave us a message and this is Islam
So read the Miracle – read the Quran

This second poem called, “The Holy Quran,” made me very sad. It’s a reflection about the way we treat the world’s greatest treasure…

The Holy Quran

I am a Book in elegant prints
To know my name, here are some hints:
Rich in cover and nicely bound
In hearts of Muslims I am rarely found
High on a shelf I am usually kept
Forgotten and neglected, I am left
With respect I do get lots of kiss
My main point is what they always miss
At times I am used for phoney swear
My true use though is very rare
A Miracle I am that can change the world
All one has to do is heed my word
I am your saviour, I am your guide
So come and take heed, come and abide
I have wisdom, I have treasure
So much so, there is no measure
Right from wrong is my fame
Holy Quran is my name
