Poets needed for book compilation for charity (OP)
The aim is to provide a poem that may go into a book which will then insha'Allah be published and the proceeds given to an Islamic charity.
The poems will be in praise of Allah and this project is strictly for His sake alone.
We make dua for the idea, and are asking for any other help with the book being published from members of this forum. So even if you have never written a poem, give it a go and post it here.
The poem will need a title and your forum name, unless you want to give another name. Please do not post comments here it is just a recepticle for the donated works in order that we can compile and collate. Many thanks to all who want to take part. And remember it is all for the good of Allah.
Eventually we will end up with a real book, 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. My next step is to approach the charities with the idea and see if we can get the ball rolling.
I will keep you all posted here, if there are any queries atc, please either post in poets thread under Creative Writing or pm myself or Alpha Jr.
Alhamdulillah

All the charity that the mosque raises is usually spent on funding the mosque. The mosque is usually filled with men who come from work,most would not wish to waste their precious money making time for charity causes when they themselves do give charity. Though the idea is worth a thought,brother Tony can you possibily speak to a high ranked member of the local mosque about this. We need to have charity ideas some way or another and the worst that could happen with this idea is that no one donates when that is really rare. We need to publish this book because the time already dedicated to this book should not go un-noticed. But then again for whatever reason if it does not get published Allah has already seen our intention and that will be enough. I really want to do something for charity. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

yeah i need a motivational kick in the pants, will do something about it next week. my advice to you is volunteer at a hospice, u and the patients will get so much from it

I cannot volunteer at the local hospital because they are in need of pro proffesionals and they would doubt me if I am upto something when I am indeed just trying to do the best,but how would they know? Volunteering here is not welcomed,you either train fully and work or just leave it to be. Training to be a ward boy at the age of 14 will look strange and wierd along with that most medical careers require some knowledge in it while I dont have the closest hint of what is it. That is the reason why I cannot volunteer in the hospital...

how about trying to get it published by Dar Al Bir Society (UAE) founded by brother Osman Barry. it's a charity organization that publishes Islamic books.
