“The tradition of Islamic poetry, spanning from Saidina Ali to Sir Muhammad Iqbal, continues to address existential inquiries. Aadil Farook’s poems resonate with contemporary Muslim dilemmas, influenced by both religious and modern challenges. His work parallels Muhammad Iqbal’s, exploring spiritual and intellectual themes. Farook successfully integrates profound spiritual doctrines into beautiful poetry, reigniting Islamic intellectual tradition in today’s discussions. His efforts in merging tradition with modernity are commendable.”
