Beauty in Islam: Dr Jason Idriss Sparkes
Scholarship · Journeys · Poetry & Song
A meeting place for Islam, beauty, tradition, and seekers of the Real.
This space is for seekers, travelers, and artists inspired by Rumi, Rābiʿa, Malcolm X, Abdal Hakim Murad, Hamza Yusuf, Zaid Shakir, Ingrid Mattson, Anse Tamara Gray, Wael Hallaq, and Dawud Walid—alongside the Firdaus Ensemble and Baraka Blue.
Canadian Muslim poet and scholar Dr. Jason Idriss Sparkes shares contemplative videos on Islamic beauty, iḥsān, and the good life: poetry, song, soulful tours of Islamic spaces, and reflections on tradition and decolonization. He specializes in Islam west of Mecca—North and West Africa, Western Europe, and the Americas. The channel blends scholarly insight and street-level spirituality—not about Muslims, but with them.
