“We are colourful; no errors”: Alie Islam releases colours

Alie Islam has released yet again another soul-teaching poem, titled ‘Colours,’ following the publication of his last spoken word album. In this release Islam speaks about the beauty of Allah (God) and how He created colour to beautify His creations. “Only God knows the colour that he gave to a white man that is not white; the colour is melanin” a line from the poem reads.

The sensational writer also lamented the growing hostility against muslim women as a result of the islamophobic climate around the globe. He lashed out at the decision by some employers who deny muslim women opportunities because of their hijabs.

“You said I’m not getting the job because of my hijab! As a matter of fact I don’t need this job because of my hijab”

Islam’s poems are designed with multiple rhymes, wordplay, and syllables. He continues to make a profound impact in the spoken-word poetry world, and is accorded so much respect for his talent and dedication to his craft. There is an already ongoing debate on social media regarding which of the poems he released this year should be nominated for the National Islamic Awards. 

Listen to ‘Colours,’ now on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
