    The Attitude of the Pre-Islamic Arabs towards Arts and Crafts Ahmad Ghabin, Baqa al-Gharbiya and the Arab College for Education, Israel The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2016 Official Conference Proceedings iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Diodorus Siculus (60-30 B.C.), referring to the Arabs who inhabited the eastern parts between Syria and Egypt, described them as: “Being difficult to overcome in war they always remain unenslaved; in addition, they never at any time accept a man of another country as their overlord and continue to maintain their liberty unimpaired.” In consequence, no king was ever able to enslave this nation.1 As for their customs, he said (19.94): “They live in the open air, claiming as native land a wilderness that has neither rivers nor abundant springs that could enable a hostile army to obtain water. It is their custom neither to plant grain and set out fruit-bearing trees and use wine nor to construct any permanent abode; and if any man is found acting contrary to this, his penalty is death”. More interestingly another Roman Historian Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 380 CE.) described the Arabs as follow: “nor does any member of their tribe ever take plow in hand or cultivate a tree, or seek food by the tillage of the land; but they are perpetually wandering over various and extensive districts, having no home, no fixed abode or laws; nor can they endure to remain long in the same climate, no one district or country pleasing them for a continuance.” 2 A more decisive statement came from Eusebius ‘father of church history’ (d.

Thus, I argued that it is (not proven) in the language. The ad hoc is an analytical and evaluation study that seeks to uncover the faults that led them to this conclusion due to uncertainty. Introduction The Arabic dictionary has been covered with many evaluative rulings, such as (it is not proven). This means our discussion of what is not proven in the analogy according to Ibn Dureid and Ibn Sayyidah. As for the first: (What is not proven in the nouns by analogy with Ibn Durrid), what is permissible (armud, and alhuzuma), and the second: (what is not proven in names according to Ibn Sayyidah), what is permissible (alddahyad, and fewlaa). Then a conclusion with the most prominent results. Chapter one What is not proven in the nouns by analogy according to Ibn Dureid 1.

  • Extracts from Nizami Ganjavi's Poetry 1. One Night Desperate Majnun
    OUDCE Islamic Mystical Poetry 2 Extracts from Nizami Ganjavi’s poetry 1. One night desperate Majnun prayed tearfully, “Oh Lord of mine who has abandoned me. Why has Thou ‘Majnun’ called me? Why hast thou made a lover of Leila of me? Thou hast made me a pillow of wild thorns, Made me roam day and night without a home. What dost Thou want from my imprisonment? Oh Lord of mine, listen to my plea!” The Lord replied, “Oh lost man, With Leila’s love I have your heart filled; The beauty of Leila that you see Is just another reflection of Me”. (from ‘Layla and Majnun’ in Islamic Mystical Poetry, p. 65) 2. “This text requires a single name, not two,” He answered them. “Majnun alone will do. If someone delves within a lover’s heart, He’ll find the loved one in its deepest part.” “But why,” they asked him, “from among the two It’s Layla who’s been cut away, not you?” “It’s wrong,” he said, “for her to be the cover That hides within itself this ardent lover. I am the veil for what should be internal. I am the outer shell; she is the kernel.” (from ‘Layla and Majnun’ in Nizami Ganjavi and His Poetry, p. 23 ) 3. As the pen began its first movement It produced first word and speech. When they raised the curtain of non-existence, The first manifestation was word and speech. Until the word gave voice to the heart, The soul did not submit its free body to clay.

  • European Academic Research
    EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH Vol. V, Issue 7/ October 2017 Impact Factor: 3.4546 (UIF) ISSN 2286-4822 DRJI Value: 5.9 (B+) www.euacademic.org Investigating the World of Arab Lexicographers MAISAA BAKRI ISMAIL MOHAMMED Abstract: Principled dictionary-making is, by definition, guided by a series of rules, mostly involving the notions of generality (of entries) and specificity (of audience). A dictionary must specify the general case when possible, and must address its audience. Thus a definition of the English word 'chair' would not immediately make reference to the ability to rock back and forth, since this is a property of a subset of chairs, and not chairs in general. Similarly a dictionary entry for 'thong' will include radically different primary senses depending on whether the dictionary has been written for Australian release ('item of open footwear') or for North American ('skimpy underwear'). While these guiding principles have been established and followed for good reasons in the creation and publication of all major dictionaries, there are some cases when it makes good sense to follow another route. The desire for a dictionary of a language is as strong for speakers of non- national languages as it is for national languages, and in some cases clearly stronger. Key words: dictionary-making- generality-primary senses- open footwear- underwear INTRODUCTION Arab lexicographers are undeniably pioneers in the world of dictionary making. Their contribution in this field has been very great that they affected the making of dictionary. They 3265 Maisaa Bakri Ismail Mohammed- Investigating the World of Arab Lexicographers were the first to introduce to the world of alphabetical lists which continued to affect the making of dictionaries to-date.
