Synopsis

In a world where Qur'ans gather dust on shelves and the divine command "Iqra"-"Read" reverberates across centuries, Echoes From The Divine: An Anthology of Poems on the Qur'an emerges as a luminous response to the call that first descended upon the Prophet Muhammad. This profound collection of 30 poems-crafted for the 30 parts of the Qur'an-represents a sacred reunion between the pen and the Divine Word, mending the fractured bond between reading and writing. Each poem is a spiritual pilgrimage through the Qur'an's luminous landscape, serving as a "devotional murmur, a contemplative echo, a gesture of nearness," inviting readers to sit with the Qur'an rather than merely explain it. The collection transforms poetry into a "mihrāb of contemplation," where the inward self turns toward the Divine and the soul's deepest longings find expression in the rhythm of revelation.

Born in the sacred month of Ramadan, this book embodies the belief that writing, alongside the art of listening to what the Divine conveys through the receptive heart, is a spiritual practice. The poets, guided by House of Amal's vision of a faith-centered Muslim writing community engaged in honing their craft, have used their pens to etch contemplations and findings onto the page, creating vessels of renewal in an age of fragmentation and noise. This endeavor carries a dual mission: to rekindle spiritual connection through creative expression, and to embody Qur'anic justice by sending 100% of proceeds to Al-Furqaan Foundation, placing Qur'ans in the hands of incarcerated individuals who seek its guidance.

Echoes stands as a testament to the enduring intimacy between revelation and the receptive heart-a quiet yet resonant act of devotion that silences the clamor of forgetting and reminds us that the Qur'an is not a relic to be revered from afar, but a living voice calling us near. In these pages, the poets reply to the first command with a resounding declaration: "I am one who reads."
