He said about his poetry, Shaker Farid Hassan on June 20, 2020:
“In all his poetic writings, we see Ibrahim Qara’in haunted by anxiety, obsession and general Palestinian pain, aligned with Palestine, its people, its martyrs and its history, interacting with the event, living it carefully and making it into human poetry with a Palestinian flavor, brimming with national sentiment, and expressing his sorrows of groans and groans, in an easy and smooth language, and in an easy and smooth style. It is forbidden to enter the heart cavity without a passport.”
