Mangalore, December 10: The religious sentiments and introspection marked the Beary poets' meet organised as part of 'Beary Sammelana-2011' at Town Hall in the city on Saturday.
Even though Beary Sahitya Academy president M B Abdul Rahman maintained that Beary Sammelana will not focus on any particular religion, all the nine Beary poets participated in the session not only appeared to be strictly maintaining the Muslim religious restrictions, but also urged the Beary community through their poetry to lead a God-fearing life.
Presiding over the evening session, writer Aisha UK, lauded the poets for “conveying the religious and spiritual message” to the people in a poetic way.
“As pointed out by earlier speakers, literature is the developed form of a language. However, literature should grow within the purview of religion”, she said.
Mentioning that holy Qur'an has cursed those litterateurs, who violated the boundaries of religion and indulged themselves in spreading lies and vulgar thoughts, Ms Aisha said: “We should be among those whom the holy Quran praised for their piety.”
She also called upon the budding poets to use their pens as swords to fight against the enemies of society such as dowry system.
Fathima Bi, U A Kasim Ullal, Haneef Perlia, Abdul Rahman Kuthethur, Abdul Azeez Haqq, Basheer Kinya, Jaleel Mukri and Shareef Neerkaje presented their poems in front of the audience.
Azeez Baikampady compered the programme.
