The Sultanate of Pyramidal Poem by Md. Ridwanur Rahman critically presents and explains the concept of the ‘Pyramidal Poem’ that is an innovative poetic form created by Sultan Mohammad Shamrat Sheikh, inspired by the structure and philosophy of ancient Egyptian pyramids. The term ‘pyramid’ is traced to Egyptian and Greek origins, symbolizing height and shape. A Pyramidal Poem is digitally composed in a pyramid-like form, following strict rules: it must be a single-stanza, single-page poem with at least three rows, compulsory rhymes, and increasing numbers of letters from top to bottom. The poem develops downward, beginning with a short ‘Cap Row’ (apex), expanding through the emotional and psychological core called ‘Dead Ehtm’ or ‘Mummy’, and concluding with the ‘Pedestal’, which finalizes the theme. Sheikh explains the form through three conceptual structures: ‘Imaginary Geometric’, ‘Imaginary Progressive’, and ‘Imaginary Physical’, comparing letters to stones and rows to steps of pyramids. Overall, the Pyramidal Poem represents a unique digital and structural contribution to world literature, blending poetic meaning, visual form, and disciplined composition.

Following the groundbreaking principles of Sultanic Literary Theory, দগ্ধ হৃদয় (The Burned Heart)—the first and original book of ‘Pyramidal Poem’ written by Md. Ridwanur Rahman in the Bengali language—was published by Shilpatoroo Prokashani at the Amar Ekushey Book Fair 2018, organized by the Bangla Academy. Later, in 2025, ILIM Press republished the work as an e-book edition. The book contains a total of twenty-nine pyramidal poems centered on emotional love and psychological romance. In addition, the appendix presents the geometric structure of ‘Pyramidal Poem’, an explanation of the concept of the mummy of literature in alignment with the architectural design of ancient Egyptian pyramids, and a systematic method of composition.

The Bengali book সংশয়ী প্রশ্নবাণ ও বুদ্ধিদীপ্ত ঈমান (Skeptical Question-Arrows and Intellectual Faith) by Md. Ridwanur Rahman presents the Holy Quran’s poetic brilliance, historical depth, and scientific dimensions in an engaging way. It explores whether Quranic stories align with ancient Greek mythology and offers logical reasons for why the Qur’an was not revealed in English. The author compares creation theories across various religions, examines Imam al-Ghazali’s philosophical insights, and discusses Qur’anic references to dinosaurs, mathematics, and humanity’s future moon landing. It also interprets the “Buraq” as a divine spacecraft and suggests that Newton’s scientific discoveries were influenced by medieval Arab scholars. Drawing on modern Egyptian research, the book uncovers traces of Islamic thought in ancient Egypt, explains the mystery of the mummy’s curse through black magic and jinn control, and clarifies why not all Egyptian rulers were called Pharaohs. Finally, it explores the real-world basis of mythical creatures described by scholar Kamal al-Din al-Damiri.

As poetic forms such as sonnets, odes, and haikus possess their respective class numbers in the Dewey Decimal Classification (the world’s most widely used system for organizing library collections), the newly innovated poetic form “Pyramidal Poem”, created by Bangladeshi poet Md. Ridwanur Rahman, rightfully deserves its own main class 808.8145 as well as notation –1045 (T–3B) in the Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index. The poetry book titled “You Are the DDC of Poem”, co-authored by Md. Ridwanur Rahman and Muhammad Abdul Mannan Kabbokabir, has been written to humbly propose the inclusion of these numbers in the Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index under the authority of OCLC.

The book titled Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyph as the Pictorial Scrutiny of Modern Linguistics by Md. Ridwanur Rahman was first published in 2020 from Shilpatoroo Prokashani. Thereafter, ILIM Press published it as an eBook in 2023. To be frank, it was the first research work on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs for the first time ever in Bangladesh indisputably. Before that, it was a M. A. thesis paper, accomplished by Md. Ridwanur Rahman at the Department of English in North South University in 2014. Overall, the book applies modern linguistic techniques, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and formal scrutiny of morphology and syntax, to understand the evolution, structure, and semantic dimensions of the hieroglyphic writing system.
