A NEW TYPE OF POEM, THE FIRST IN ENGLISH LITERATURE: Prophiem is a new type of poem innovated by the poet himself. Earlier, there was no such trend in English poesy like a poem denoting the praise of the prophet MOhammad,peace be upon him, although it was in vogue in nearly all those languages spoken and read and known by Muslims all over the world such as Arabic, Urdu, Persian and many other languages where Muslims live in notable numbers and they have their own language and literature. NATURE OF PROPHIEMS DATES BACK TO FIFTEEN CENTURIES : It is a type of poem, being written for about fifteen hundred years.

Mr. Khan Hasnain Aaqib has got his first book of Urdu poetry published in 2013 with the title RAM-E-AAHOO which became an instant hit and within months, its second edition was due.

Khan Hasnain Aaqib's second collection of Urdu religious poems, which is a collection of HYMNS AND PROPHIEMS, is soon to get published in a couple of months. A prophiem, how it is coined, is explained in the following poems entitled as PROPHIEM. A PROPHIEM Most people ask me, what is a prophiem? Will you tell us, from where does it stem? To praise God is to pray Him, I believe So is about His prophet, you may perceive Abraham, Moses and Jesus, for their age? Were god’s prophets and delivered His message To the world, and its people that were astray. Then the last prophet, in Arab, let me say That sun rose over the hills of Faaraan And oneness of god he preached, and that is Imaan. Some words, in his praise, like many I write Taking my poetic art to its desired height Just out of love for him, in fact, passion I tread a path, by others yet not taken. For such poem in English, I attribute a word This word, I am sure, no one may have heard. ‘Proph’ is for prophet, ‘em’ is for poem, joined by ‘i’ I am telling all this, before you ask me ‘why’. A prophiem wades through the life of prophet His deeds, teachings, his person, and events he met. Although on island of knowledge I am an elf, The coinage of ‘prophiem’ I owe to god and myself. http:// www.poemhunter.com/poem/a- prophiem/ There is another Prophiem taken from another source. PROPHIEM 4 OF HIM, WHAT THEY SAID! For about one and a half thousand years Saints and sages and kings and seers, Have been defining the last prophet’s profile, In their own way, and in their own style. Out of that, here I put up a few What they think of him, how their throughts grew! To him, full attention most people paid I just sum up, of him what they said. In “Heroes and Hero Worship”, Thoman Carlyle said, “As a true prophet, he, to me has stayed”. “ Most influential man in human history”, said Thomas Carlyle, When he studied his life, and thought for some while. “And His was a voice from unknown deep”. In good faith, Carlyle’s words we should keep. “Of all sacred religions”, Leo Tolstoy says, “In prophet’s teachings, lies the essences. “                            In “Voltaire and Islam”, goes Voltaire’s saying “Prophet was a mighty conqueror, and a just king, And a wise legislator and a pious prophet, He fulfilled great role before people of this planet.” In “The Genuine Islam”, G.B.Shaw writes with heed, “For the future Europe, accetaable will be Mohammad’s creed. In the new world era, if he takes absolute lead In solving it problems, with peace and happiness he would secceed.” Encyclopedia Britanica does honestly write “The prophet was a man with great insight, And he wa a man honest and upright, Winning loyalty of those, like-wise honest and upright.” “The prophet was”, as his view Lane Pool made, “Most faithful protector of those he protected.” In “Biography of Prophet”, Karen Armstrong made it clear, “Non-violence was the culmination of his prophetic career”. In “Life Of Mohammad”, Sir William Muir wrote, And his candid words, I must really quote. “Modesty and kindliness, generocity and patience, In prophet’s conduct , pervaded this essence”. .                       Keeping his faith solemn, sincere and dart, In “The 100”, thus put in Micheal Hart, “Supremely successful for religious and secular cause, The only man in human history, the prophet was…” In “Life And Teaching Of Mohammad”, Annie Besant says, About the messenger of Supreme, his character and his ways, “It is impossible for anyone, studying prophet’s life, To feel anything but revernce towards Him and his strife.” What I wrote here, is truth bound And in books and on web, all can be found. In this work, I said nothing without reference And all that you read here, makes positive sense. http://www.poetry.com/
