Rivers of Resilience: Asma Rashed's Journey from Syria to Jordan

As conflict and war escalate in many parts of the world, the number of refugees continues to rise—and so do polarising views on migration. In response, we bring you Rivers of Resilience, a powerful new series exploring migrant lives, art, and advocacy as part of Season 4 of RawPods.


In this episode, we meet Asma Rashed, who fled the war in Syria, found refuge in Jordan, and eventually resettled in France. While in Jordan, Asma launched a grassroots reading and education initiative for girls, driven by hope and determination amidst displacement.


This episode focuses on the beginning of her journey—why she left Syria, and her immediate experience as a refugee in Jordan. Asma's story is one of courage, resilience, and resistance, and we’ll continue our conversation with her in future episodes.

Spiritual Reflections: Mercy, Forgiveness, and Salvation - The Essence of Ramadan

In this special Ramadan episode of community reflection, we explore the profound themes of mercy, forgiveness, and salvation - both as Divine attributes and as human experiences.

The reflections are guided by an understanding of Allah’s names that speak to these traits (as based on Al Ghazali’s work) and based on other texts.

Through discussion and reflection, we consider how an understanding of these traits shape our spiritual growth and personal journeys.

Tune in to listen, reflect, and find inspiration in this sacred season.

Voices for Humanity: Against War & Against Inequality (Poetry)
First published: Mar’22, republished: Oct’23; This episode is a special edition of poetry, "Voices for Humanity" put together under the sad backdrop of war, in March’22. As the world reels from news of the past week, we have put out a call for voices to express support for humanitarianism - to promote peace, and to promote equality.  The poems that we have received from members highlight the sadness and tragedy of war, and also of an inequitable attitude to war that some regions of the world face, and have been written with the intention of increasing awareness and understanding  to promote peace and equality - for everyone in the world.  Updated note, Oct’23: 1.5 years back, our community shared poetry in a podcast episode- Voices for Humanity, against war and against an inequitable attitude to war. Sadly, this is again relevant in a different context & we have re-published this episode. We stand for everyone’s right to peace. Poems and recitations by: Rafey Zuberi: “War Flows Out From the Eyes”  Abid Siddiqi: “Afghani Kid to his Ukrainian Friend”  Shaheryar Ali Mirza: “Blue eyes, blonde hair” Nadir Feroz Khan: “Do I?” Muniba Mahmud: “Of war”, “We heard you say all lives matter”, “All of Humanity”  RawPods are conversations that celebrate creative ideas and expression, and are hosted by Rawanee.

Celebrating Beginnings - Ibtida: Mehfil, Feb’22 (Poetry & Conversation)
In February 2022, Rawanee's members got together for another poetry recitation event as part of our "Mehfil with Rawanee" series. Our first session at the start of the year and at what we hope is the beginning of the end of the pandemic, was themed to "Beginnings"; called "Ibtida" in Urdu. Fittingly, we started the session with Iqbal's famous lines capturing his thoughts on "ibtida" and "inteha" (extent), and our members' recitations reflection an array of poetry reflecting on beginnings and beyond..

Poetry of Resilience: Mehfil, Dec’21 (Poetry & Conversation)
"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same" What is resilience, and what cultivates resilience? How does poetic expression contribute to acknowledging and strengthening resilience? In December 2021, Rawanee's community got together to share poetry and some prose, alongside some heartwarming and meaningful conversation on the subject. We heard a lot of original poetry and some classics, and were inspired by the words, talent and thoughts of our community - words that lent strength and resilience to us.  With a special thank you to Akbar Khan for the opening recitation.

PAKISTAN: ZINDA HAI This is another special edition podcast put together by Rawanee’s members in light of current events.

Creative Authenticity & A Dialogical Identity with Qudsia Akhtar (Conversation & Poetry)
For Qudsia Akhtar, the higher self is worth pursuing. Her latest sequence of poems is rooted in the journey and the search for the many truths that may appear in various experiences such as the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the myth of the Churail. The voices guide. The image of the lote tree often found in Islamic Sufi thought comes to represent the highest form of self-knowledge, which is also key to Iqbal’s Khudi, first outlined in his poetry/philosophy book ‘The Secrets of the Self’. The plurality of those ‘secrets’ suggests a multiplicity. Akhtar considers how in the post-colonial age, our selves, spirituality, and sense of unity is fractured. About the speaker Qudsia Akhtar is in the third year of her Creative Writing Ph.D. at the University of Salford exploring British-Pakistani experience. Her poetry has appeared in the Acumen, Tower Poetry Anthology, The Ofi Press, Poetry Birmingham Literary Journal, and Wildness. Her work has been commissioned by the New Creatives scheme and commended in the Forward Book of Poetry 2023. Her debut collection of poems Khamoshi is out with Verve Poetry Press. She explores the concept of a dialogical self: exploring multiple selves, is intrigued by the concept of Iqbal’s sense of the higher self, and the journey of self-discovery. The voice in her poems remains questioning, critical, and intimate. She has written poems about belonging, the injustices surrounding the female experience, the sorrow of the Partition, the loss and distorting of the 1857 Rebellion in India, and quite recently, a new section that explores the myth of the Churail and womanhood. #identity #creativeauthenticity #creativerepresentation #breakingstereotypes #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #creativecommunity
