An analytical study of the features of religious commitment in the Diwan of Syed Reza al-Hindi

Abstract

The poets of Islam, from the time of the first generation until today, have recorded the verses of loyalty and love that their hearts and consciences feel and throb in their chests towards the Chosen Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family and his pure progeny (PBUH). Commitment is the poet or writer's participation in people's social and political concerns and their national stances, and standing firm to face what this requires, to the extent of self-denial for the sake of what the poet or writer has committed to. Sayed Reda al-Hindi dealt with poetry for its various purposes. He possesses a soul full of faith, when we see him turning to God, Glory be to Him, asking forgiveness and pardon from Him, and hoping for the best of this world and a good reward and outcome. Sayyid Reda al-Hindi more than mentioned the Ahl al-Bayt () in his divan until he made a large part of his diwan in praising them. This article, which has relied on the descriptive-analytical method in its research, has reached important results, including: Sayed Reza Al-Hindi expressed his friendliness and sincerity towards Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) and their attitudes. He also referred to their merits and virtues. The adherence of Sayyid Reza al-Hindi to the people of the house of prophecy in general and to the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) in particular indicates his commitment to these honorable and righteous people. The poet longed to visit their shrines and sympathized with their misfortunes. He has always been a devotee of visiting the shrine of the Prophet (PBUH), as he believes that visiting his shrine is a great happiness for every Muslim.
