This page needs serious revisions. Nationalists and bigots have been doing strange edits. Here are my suggestions. Since the word Qasida is used in at least three languages (Arabic, Persian, Urdu) to define certain style of poetry, this article should be chronologically divided into the same three sections:
FOR ARABIC SECTION
FOR FARSI SECTION
FOR URDU SECTION (as far as I am aware Urdu Qasida follows the same formula as Farsi Qasida)
EXTERNAL LINKS should similarly reflect all three different forms of Qasida.
(Is Qasida also used in Turkish? and Uzbek, Turkmen, Qazakh, etc.?)

Implicit in this page, others that refer to it, and a few other Wikipedia pages is the idea that "pre-Islam" equates to "before the prophet Muhammed" or before "the rise of Islam" (whatever that means). Most Muslims will agree that Islam is an ancient religion of which Muhammed was the last (and greatest) of prophets; in other words, Islam did not begin with the prophet Muhammed. This is important, because if care is not taken, this sloppiness of thinking leads to the great mistake amongst non-Muslims of calling Muhammed the "founder" of Islam (which can cause great offence).-- The Lesser Merlin 14:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
This and the article /info/en/?search=The_Kasidah should really be interlinked, with a brief note on the latter being a form of the former.

I have tagged its neutrality as questionable, as it is exclusively referring to this topic as "arab" and "islamic" and appears to politicize the topic with use of certain terminology. It would be nice to have some non-Pakistani editors also have a look at this article and make corrections. Also please don't use the word "Farsi" in an english language article. The language is formally called Persian in english. I generally find that people that use the word "farsi" are making not well suited to make edits on anything related to topics related to Persia, the Persian language, history and culture.

I don't know anything about Qasidas so I won't attempt to argue, but I will point out that "Farsi" is definitely in use in English. I gather from what you've said that the choice of name is politically charged, so maybe calling it Farsi would be an NPOV issue (again, I don't know what I'm talking about really, so if I'm wrong disregard this), but there are definitely communities of Persian/Farsi speakers who prefer the latter term. ❃Adelaide❃ ( talk) 06:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
