Inspired by Qur’an 24:24 and the theology of language, art, and testimony
“The Day their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them concerning what they used to do.”
Qur’an, Surah an-Nur (The Chapter of Light) #24, Verse 24
Ink is not mute; it lives in the air,
A poem can pierce where swords would not dare.
The witness is not always clothed in flesh,
Sometimes it is syllables burning afresh.
O Lord, bear witness that I stood with Husayn.
