Ahnaf Jazeem is a 26-year-old Muslim poet from the remote village of Chilawathurai in the Mannar District. In another poem in the book “Navarasam” published in June 2017, Ahnaf had said that he will only celebrate Eid al-Fitr (the end of the Ramadan fast) when there is a new world free of war as Muslims all over the world are suffering due to the hate and fire spread by the black-clad Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
