That poetry which does not breach the Islamic code ,our holy prophet (pbuh)has given to poetry a high status and has declared poetry wisdom and has valued many poets who has worked for the up brining of islam and has used their pen for the betterment of Islam and in Quran literally knowledge is taken from poetry and companions of the holy prophet has recited many poetry and the holy prophet pbuh has never recited any poetry because in Quran recitation of poetry is considered haram but from other poets our holy prophet use to listen poetry and certainly use to praise poets. That poetry is not allowed in Islam, which transcends the barriers of Islam and results in social moral and religious degradation.
