Poets And Poetry In Islam
Every Prophet May peace be upon them were given the miracles by Allah ST having the extreme qualities of the things people of their nations were expert in. Like magic (Musa), medicine (Isa), etc. When our beloved Prophet MPBH came, poetry was at the peak in Arabs of that time. That is why Quran is called a miracle and Allah SWT challenged to them to bring a Surah, then few ayahs and then an ayah like this. Poets of that time tried to make something but they failed and even they admitted that they couldn’t make even one single ayah like Quran. In Surah Shu’arah Allah is mentioning those. And if there is فحاشی in poetry, which is very common, then it comes under the rule of prohibition of فحاشی.
