Author Noor Yusuf and Shaykh Dr. Asim Yusuf explore The Soliloquy of the Full Moon - the first English language Mawlid of its kind.  

 Written by Yusuf, at just 15, The Soliloquy of the Full Moon is an epic poem composed over twelve nights in Rab al-Awwal 1436H. The poem spans over a thousand lines, celebrating the life and virtues of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ﷺ. 

With its Barzanjian form and Shakespearean rhythm, the work weaves classical style with spiritual depth. Yusuf will reflect on the poem’s significance, highlighting themes such as the Prophet’s birth, early signs, revelations, and the night journey, offering a fresh lens on prophetic devotion.
