Ehsan Khazaei, Cultural Counselor of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Pakistan while congratulating the birthday of the pious Imam Ali (as) said the poems of every poet should awaken the people just like the poems of Iqbal.
He further added if there is no poet or writer in the society then it means the society is empty and soulless.

Ehsan Khazaei added this book has been compiled using verses, narrations and hadiths of Imams (AS) with a fluent and beautiful writing style and has enhanced the literary stature of Mr. Mughal.
