Poetry recital in Islam

Hadhrat Mohammed Abdul Qadeer Siddiqui ( رحمة لله عليه )

The book 'Poetry recital in Islam' (سماع) is related to the recitation of Naats and priase of Sahabah and Awliya Allah which is a very virtuous deed. Some deviant sects have tried to create doubts among Muslims about its permissibility in Islam. Shaikh has proved from Quran, Sunnah and the practices of Sahabah, their followers and Awliya Allah that, not only Sama with musical instruments is allowed in Islam, but it is an important virtuous deed.
