   1st Annual International Praise the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) Poetry Competition (Submission Deadline is August 31st, 2006) 

In light of recent conscious acts of denigration and subsequent reactions we, at IslamicPoetry.org, would like to invite Muslims and non-Muslims of all ages to take part in a contest of English poetry in praise of the most praiseworthy creation, the beloved of God Almighty, His messenger and prophet, Muhammad, Allah bless him and given him peace. 

Another reason behind this is that we hope to encourage people to address themselves to an aspect of Islamic literature, which has to a degree been neglected in the West. We all know that poems in praise of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, are found in abundance in the lands of Islam: in Urdu, Malay, Senegalese, Dari, Pashto, Chinese, Arabic, Punjabi, Turkish, and many more. 

It is our intention to help spark a conscious effort to promote this tradition in the English language and therefore pray that you will join us in this effort.
