The Legendary Arabic Poem: Laamiyah Al-A...

ISLAMIC PODCAST
About this episode

This classical Arabic poem isn’t just eloquent — it’s dangerous. Laamiyah al-Arab is the voice of Shanfara, a man betrayed by blood, raised by the one who killed his father, and driven to the wild. He swore vengeance. He lived with wolves. He wrote verses that shook Arabic literature.

Something to wonder: Why are scholars of our religion teaching his words?

Because this poem is a map of the Arabic language. Every line, explained here by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan, reveals meanings buried deep in the Qur’an and classical texts.

This is not entertainment. It’s training. For the one serious about Arabic. For the one serious about understanding revelation.

What made a savage poet essential for students of Islamic knowledge?

Watch and find out.
