Mullah Attiya al Jamri

Mullah Attiya al-Jamri (Arabic: الملا عطية الجمري‎‎, b. 1899 – 29 August 1981) was a famous 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 means that the short story was read by over 330,000 students. 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.
