Sultan bin Ahmed attends "Asmar" podcast meeting at SIBF

The podcast was hosted by Dr. Faisal Al-Shahrani, along with poets Abdul Latif bin Yusuf Al-Mubarak and Abdullah Al-Anzi, who discussed the impact of poetry in Arab history, touching on themes of love, romance, elegy, praise, invective, and the power of poetry to elevate or diminish individuals and communities.
The speakers emphasized the significance of poetry in Arab life and its central role, noting how poets held a unique status among tribes due to their ability to immortalize events and moments through their verses. They explored the themes of emotion and love among poet-lovers, highlighting how poetry has preserved their stories and experiences, enriching the Arab imagination with profound, pure emotions that people share among themselves.
During the discussion, numerous stories and examples of poetry from the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions were mentioned, illustrating their relevance throughout Arab history.

The session concluded with beautiful poems recited by the poets themselves.
