Having participated in this poetry contest last year, my girls are eager to use creative words to share their love and admiration of our beloved Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) again this year. It should be more interesting this year too, because we’ve been studying the various types of poetry. So, this is a perfect Language Arts and Islamic Studies/Deen project to join in.
