Mullah Attiya al-Jamri

Mullah Attiya al-Jamri (Arabic: الملا عطية الجمري, c.1899 – 29 August 1981) was a Bahraini khatib and poet.

Researcher Clive Holes translated two of Al-Jamri's poems into books, one of which was distributed to 11,000 teachers from different schools in the UK which meant that the short story was read by over 330,000 students.

[1] Al-Jamri is well recognized in Bahrain, the Gulf and Iraq for his poems about Imam Hussain and for his unique methods of reading lamentation poems during the month of Muharram.
