Mahmoud Sami Al - Baroudi is one of the pioneers of modem Arabic poet1 He is one of those poets who endowed a new life to classical poetry and gave it a new strength and life. He peifectly understood the duty of poetry towards the time and the society As a result, he introduced the social topics such as justice, equality and consulation in poetry This innovation paved the way for young poets such as Hafiz Ebrahim and Ahmad Shoughi and others. Al - Baroudi’s life and poetry is and indication of his strong Faith and absolute surrender to God. In his thought real reform in different dimensions, especially in poetry is only possible with regard to religion. Thus in his Divan we can see few Qasidas in which there is not different allusions to religion and religious concepts. He was a teacher of the Holy Quran a he has expressed and reflected his Quranic learning in his poetry, especially on occassions that he is praising God and enumerate his attributions.
