ok people, any poets who post work here, how do you feel about compiling work for a book and giving proceeds to an islamic charity. if any one can offer ideas for getting published or funding it etc please help. lets use what talents Allah bestowed on us to help others. need anyone who knows about marketing, copyright and distibution also. Insha'Allah we can do this
"O ye who belive! Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed"
share it sis, Im winging it but sure we can do it. Tried to go to islamic poetry.org and muslim writers but having difficulty posting there etc. Maybe we could all just donate, get people to pick ones they like and print ourselves. Anyhow we started it now
Umm.. well, I didn't realise you meant getting a book published. I thought we were talking about more of a booklet, in which case we could print it ourselves. But now that you've mentioned a book and I know where the printers are.. why not? We gotta aim high rite?

Great idea mashaAllah!! InshaAllah, with the help of Allah, it will bro. Have you thought about marketing strategies?
Br. Tony: I am not sure as yet how we will set up any payments when people buy it, but I am hoping it will go directly to the charities involved.
Perhaps the charities might take responsibility of marketing/selling the books themselves and that way money goes directly to them. They can advertise the book on their websites for starters.

Here is what I think about the guidelines:
Has to do with Islam.
Could be anything like a couplet.
You should not be disappointed if your poems are not accepted.
And thats about it from me. Perhaps you can try to get more.

thats good bro, think we should maybe limit it to praising Allah and demonstrations of how people sacrifice or do deeds for Him. exciting this ennit

I have one suggestion before i go to see the other thread, Maybe you should have a general theme? One that isn't too narrow or broad, that way all the poems have something in common?
Learn silence as you have learned speech.
Speech will guide you, and silence will protect you.
