The first poem I wrote was in class 7 probably which was on My Mother. I remember my school’s principal called me and asked me if I had really written it myself. After that I didn’t care about it until I went to University and then I realized Allah had given me a gift which I could use for spreading His Deen as well. It’s been more than 2 and a half years now Alhamdulillah that I’ve been writing poetry. I also started making Spoken Word videos. It was this late realization of the Gift Allah SWT had blessed me with that led to this name.
