“There was something about the poetry of Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore that was viceral and real. It was never esoteric or out of touch with the human condition. He was deeply in touch with his own self and how he was feeling. He was always very interested in what was going through the people around him. In the 20 years I knew him, I never spent time with him without feeling loved, listened to, supported and at times questioned and probed but in the most gentle, loving and beautiful of ways.”

Abdul-Rehman Malik
Radio Broadcaster and SeekersGuidance Global Programs Director
