Between Rubble and Prayer is a collection of deeply personal poems inspired by the lives of ordinary people enduring the devastation of war in Gaza. Told through imagined first-person voices, each poem explores a different story-a grieving parent, a frightened child, a lone survivor, a devoted believer, a doctor, a neighbour, or someone clinging to hope amid unimaginable loss.
These poems are not intended to document any one person's experience. Instead, they seek to honour the resilience, faith, love, grief, and humanity that can endure even in the darkest of circumstances. Through themes of family, loss, remembrance, patience (*sabr*), and unwavering trust in Allah, the collection reflects on what it means to hold onto hope when everything else has been taken away.
From the silence left by empty homes to whispered du'as beneath broken skies, every page invites the reader to pause and remember that behind every headline are people with names, dreams, families, and stories.
Between Rubble and Prayer is a poetic meditation on suffering and compassion, and a reminder that even in the shadow of destruction, faith can remain unbroken, love can outlive loss, and the human spirit can continue to bear witness.
