Common misconceptions about Islam - help needed
-
Raaajah,
Firstly it refers to those who follow them. Secondly, a "poet" in Classical Arabic and especially in The Quran's terminology/portrayal is not just a reference to a person who rhymes words or perhaps even sings. The Quran regards "poetry" of a different genre to itself, as The Quran is based on reality/truth/righteousness etc. Study all other occurrences of this term in The Quran, you will soon see The Quran differentiating itself. Or alternatively read the works of Toshihiko Izutsu or Neal Robinson in which these terms are reviewed and contrasted.If it was simply about rhyming words, or recitation of melodic sounds, then The Quran has this itself. Please re-read the misconception and reflect.

You are correct, Quran cannot ban something creative, but actually who are those Shura and Ishra that Quran distant itself from.

here the word poetry,
l-shi'ra is used here it says "And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an,"So I am actually looking for that Ishi ra that Quran says is not befitting for Muhammad Peace is upon him.

Yes very right, Quran does have lots of these rhyming words, but Allah calls Quran different from poetry, this causes bit of confusion.
There is Rawaaya quoted
Aishah narrated that during the days of Mina, on the day of 'Eid al-Adha, two girls were with her, singing and playing on a hand drum. The Prophet peace is upon him was present, listening to them with his head under a shawl. Abu Bakr then entered and scolded the girls. The Prophet peace is upon him, uncovering his face, told him, "Let them be, Abu Bakr. These are the days of 'Eid." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) -
Dear Wakas, I will be grateful if you provide some other links of your articles/study for a comprehensive study of the above in addition to the link you provided. The link you provided was useful but still one feels thirst.
like the ones for Toshihiko Izutsu or Neal Robinson .

Any work would simply be a study of the Quran occurrences, thus one can simply study the occurrences themselves.
I dont know if he discusses the word here, or in his other book "God and man in the koran", but you can find it here

Salaam brother Wakas,
I humbly suggest you to add Arabic text to misconceptions-about-islam.com where ever the aayaats are quoted as it is really important as per my understanding.
AlQuraan is sent in Arabic language, so when we are quoting it, the original text must be added with the translation.
May Allah guide us all to His only path pr
