The Survey of Hassan Ibn Thabit Poetry in the Ignorant and the Islamic Era European Journal of Scientific Research ISSN 1450-216X / 1450-202X Vol. 139 No 3 May, 2016, pp.263-267 http://www.europeanjournalofscientificresearch.com The Survey of Hassan Ibn Thabit Poetry in the Ignorant and the Islamic Era Fariborz Hossein Janzadeh Department of Arabic Language and literature, Kashmar Branch Islamic Azad university, Kashmar, Iran Hassan Ghamari Department of Arabic Language and Literature KashmarBranch, Islamic Azad university, Kashmar, Iran Abstract The contents of Hassan Islamic poetry have changed and transformed in comparison to his pagan(ignorant) poetry both qualitatively and qualitatively. In some of Hassan Islamic poetrv we witness completely new contents and interpretations in which they have not been in the ignorant period. In addition, Hassan doesn’t attention to some of the poetical motivations such as vinouses and merely lovely satirical poems in which he attentions them in ignorant era, and instead of sun a motivations, his poetry put to supreme in defense of Islam religious and Mohammad prophet and his companions. But Hassan in his praise and elegy poems has taken the same old routine ignorant and he has repeated the themes and concepts it again the degree of praise and Hassan elegies are more than Islamic era in ignorant era, it means that, the poet doesn’t have any tendency toward the praise and elegy in ignorant period and He pays more attention to it in Islamic period. Keywords: Hassan, vinous, satires, lyrics, praise, Islamic and ignorant era. 1. Introduction Hassan Ibn Thabit is one of the Makhzarmi poets and many of his poems are leave both on the Islamic period and during the ignorance era. Critics argued that his Islamic poet and ignorance poems has changed in terms of content and transformed it, Among these critics can pointed Asmaei and Ibnsalam, who believe that Islamic poems of Hassan in terms of poetic imagination and lyrical concepts are weaker his ignorant poems, however other critics have rejected such ideas, but the readers of Hassan poems find that there are differences between the Islamic poems and ignorant poems the purpose of this paper is to investigate and compare the content analysis of the poetry of bout era(Islamic ignorant), of Hassan’s life, so that it is proved that what differences are between the poems of the poet in terms of content in both of eras. In this article, we have tried to answer these questions like these: can it be claimed that new religion of Hassan and accept of new religion, Hassan poem from the content perspective created change and transportation? Do you accept the new religion will lead to changes in the content of Hassan poetry? If you change the content of his poems poems-which is reflected in what circumstances? In both periods of life of the poet we survey the poetic motivation of Hassan’s poems.these motivations include vinouses, eulogy, elegies, and lyrics (simile). In this article between every both periods of Hassan’s life made a comparison thereby wer determining what differences he has found the intentions of the Islamic era of poetic era of poetic motivations poet and the ignorant era The Survey of Hassan Ibn Thabit Poetry in the Ignorant and the Islamic Era 264 of poetic motivations poet. He was written in Islamic or ignorant eras, no that, those elegies have include the Islamic or ignorance contents. 2. Hassan Ibn Ansari He is Hassan Ibn Thabit Ibn manzarkharzaji, Hassan was born in Modina in 563AD. The city of the great men, after the fall of the prophet were called the Ansar. Hassan-as in the works and books and the most historians believe it –has one hundred and twenty years old, in which sixty years is passed in Islamic era and sixty years is passed in ignorant period. Hassan in the first half of his life (ignorant era) has prejudice to his people and as soon as the poet insult to his people he conflict and seem to raise to defense of his people. But Hassan in Islamic period was a staunch defender of Islam and his poems was lay in de fence of Islam religious and Mohammad prophet. His characters are as follows: 1) He was a naive and trusting person. 2) His timidity and fear, which most of historical books referred to his character. 3) Prejudiced person toward his people (the people of ye men), and this important topic can be seen in abundance in his poems (especially in ignorance poems). 3. Vinous Description of the beauty and elegance of the wine are the most descriptions of Hassan in the ignorant poems. One of the his entertainment Hassan was vinous that he enchanting in every place of his elegies in Ignorance era. For example the opening lines of his Hamzyah was famous ode to the conquest of Mecca. The authors of these lines are going to answer the dubt question, first of all the noted the first lines of this poem (Mecca conquest): Translation: It seems that pure wine pour in lover teeth the ridge area is a bit of honey and water mined with it (so it tastes a lovers mouth water), or if her mouth flavors of ripe apples and, which remains soft and sweet is reaching in its peak. If one day I come to talk of all the alcoholic wine they have sacrificed all my delicious pure alcohol, and drink it, And then we have become kings and valves that, The don’t have any fear or shy from the facing war. this ode is known as the conquest of Mecca. if you refrain from drinking wine you the you’ll be the owner of the property and a lot of money (Hassan such answer to his beloved). I would like to talk with good fellow and listen to the beautiful sound of beautiful singers or performer in the morning time. As you can see, shasa, his beloved, blame him because of excess and indulgence in drinking wine. But the Hassan Answer to shasa so that I love doing it and I enjoy drawing to drink alcohol from the morning to the evening. In one of those mymeh again signs about wine and its enjoy: He spit water is abundance and fresh water, which remains under the regular stones and under the clouds shadows are leaking out, her mouth water was mixed with an effective and authentic wine it is ridge lines of BeytAlras region and it has remained in tents so return to old and high, the saler of alcohol kept this wine for a long time, so that there remained several years, we have this wine to drink pure and un pure, and then we sing in bars as thin ants move across on the rocks, this wine going on across the all of our body. Conclusion The decribtion of wine se in the every place of Hassan ignorance odes. He knows the wine one of the best his entertainment and so the percentage of ignorant poetry include the describes of wine of its event. But in Islamic period of poet in general the poet leave off totally from description of wine and alcohol and we can’t find any line or verse about wine and its description we survey that all of his poems and Islamic odes of Hassan. 265 Fariborz Hossein Janzadeh and Hassan Ghamari Eulogy In general we can say that Hassan doesn’t attention to praise in ignorance poetry and he pay attention to it scattered in every part of his odes. Hassan pay less attention to this poetical motive among various poetical motivations. Before the accepting Islam Hassan was traveling to Ghasanian court and He come to enjoy and benefit with their praise of precious awards He independently allocated only poet to praise of Ghasanian the only ode in his first sixty years of life devoted to praise independenly this is the ode. What were the great men, the same people I good fellow to them as those past days, who the heads and the great enemies while were his helmet on the head. And kills them and turn of foot and kicks even them that they are articulated fingers, hands a part. They meld together their poor with their rich men and help them and toward the poor people have reward and forgiveness. They are shining faces (This phrase is irony to their many of pride and sportsman ship) and people with respect to their ancestry that is on the server and the president and among the people of other ethnic groups have proceed every sphere overtaking. Hassan put his praised characters on generosity and courage, and usually we find the praise in the middle of his odes are not exceeded of one or more verses Hassan praised the Ibn salmi Neman Ibn Monzar in such a way: I get my horse is in motion the whold day to get to the Ibn salmi house (Naman Ibn Manzar), I take met him (Naman) found that like a sea has a lot forgiveness. He is a generous person who, when confronting him the name of goodness and mercy shall be more kindness and forgiveness. First, In this verse the poet describe his steed, the steed that reaches to his beloved Naman, And in the next verse to say about admirable traits and deals with praise of her. In the following Dalyeh, Hassan will praise the Mohammad prophet (p bun) and his companions, the praise is not much space from the ignorance frameworks: mu slim soldiers wearing flat iron armor and their leaders have a strong person who has no fear in him (Mohammad prophet), I mean the Mohammad prophet (P bun), who through the righteousness and forgiveness God superior him to all people.

I mean the fact that the first and last section remain almost unchanged as structural units of the ode, whereas the second part, the camel-theme, changes radically from Pre-Islamic to Abbasid times.

    Fatwen Its Role in Shari 'di and Contemporary Society with South African Case Studies BY NASIM MITHA DISSERTATION Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS in ISLAMIC STUDIES in the FACULTY OF ARTS at the RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: PROF. A.R.I. DOI CO - SUPERVISOR: PROF. J.F.J.VAN RENSBURG MAY 1999 Acknowledgement Praise be to Allah who in his infinite mercy has endowed me with the ability to undertake and complete this work on fanvci, a topic which has hitherto been neglected. Confusion regarding the concepts of fatwci, agOya, mufti, qcich and exikim abounds in the South African Muslim community. In consequence the entire Shatfah is misunderstood and misrepresented. It is my fervent hope that this study redresses this problem to some extent and induces others to produce further work on this topic. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) has reported to have said, "He who does not thank man has not thanked Allah." It is with these words of our master in mind that I acknowledge the efforts of all those who made this task possible. Firstly, I deeply appreciate the effort made by my teachers, and principal Moulana Cassim Seema of Dar al-Vitim Newcastle, who had guided me in my quest for Islamic knowledge and also to my sheikh of tasawwuf Moulana Ibrahim Mia for being my spiritual mentor. I thank my supervisor Professor `Abd al-Ralunan Doi at whose insistence this particular topic was chosen, and for the innumerable advice, guidance, and support afforded whilst the research was being undertaken.

  • Khadija Daughtr of Khuwaylid
    KHADIJA DAUGHTR OF KHUWAYLID In the year 595, Muhammed son of Abdullah, Prophet of Islam, was old enough to go with trade caravans in the company of other kinsmen from the populous Quraish tribe. But the financial position of his uncle, Abu Talib, who raised him after the death of his father, had become very weak because of the expenses of rifada and siqaya , the housing and feeding of pilgrims of the holy “House of God” which Abraham and Ishmael had rebuilt following damage caused by torrential rain. It was no longer possible for Abu Talib to equip his nephew, Muhammed, with merchandise on his own. He, therefore, advised him to act as agent for a noble lady, Khadija bint (daughter of) Khuwaylid, who was the wealthiest person in Quraish. Her genealogy joins with that of the Prophet at Qusayy. She was Khadija daughter of Khuwaylid ibn Asad ibn `Abdul-`Ozza ibn Qusayy. She, hence, was a distant cousin of Muhammed. The reputation which Muhammed enjoyed for his honesty and integrity led Khadija to willingly entrust her mercantile goods to him for sale in Syria. She sent him word through his friend Khazimah ibn Hakim, a relative of hers, offering him twice the commission she used to pay her agents to trade on her behalf. Muhammed, with the consent of his uncle Abu Talib, accepted her offer. Most references consulted for this essay make a casual mention of Khadija. This probably reflects a male chauvinistic attitude which does a great deal of injustice to this great lady, the mother of the faithful whose wealth contributed so much to the dissemination of Islam.

    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No 13 (2021), 5053-5059 Research Article The Description of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) in Kitab al-Aghani Ayatollah Zarmohammadi a a Department of History of Civilization of Islamic Nations, University of Zanjan, Zanjan, Iran. Article History: Received: 5 April 2021; Accepted: 14 May 2021; Published online: 22 June 2021 Abstract: In Islamic sources, whether interpretive, narrative or historical, the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) are mostly referred to with high reverence, and graceful trait are attributed thereto. yet, their commemoration in one of the most glorious works of early Arabic literature, namely Kitab al-Aghani, is of paramount significance. Attributed to the 10th-century Arabic writer Abu al- Faraj al-Isfahani (also known as al-Isbahani), it is claimed to have taken 50 years to write the work. Considering that he is a descendant of the Marwanis, mentioning the virtues of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) in this book further highlights their legitimacy, making everyone awe in praise. Further, the claims cited in the work have been mostly backed by referring to other Sunni and possibly Shiite sources. With a descriptive-analytical approach, the purpose of this study was to introduce the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) in the Kitab al-Aghani, while pointing out issues such as the succession of Ali (PBUH), the succession of Imam Hassan (PBUH) and Messianism of Mahdi (PBUH). Keywords: Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani, Kitab al-Aghani 1. Introduction In the present age where spirituality is marginalized, the rational and spiritualistic people are on the quest for true rationality and spirituality, and seek to achieve the transcendent goal of creation, i.e., salvation, by heartfully following the prophets and their true successors to guide them with the illuminating light from darkness to light.

Copyright 2000 by the Middle East Studies Association of North America IT IS OFTEN assumed that as ‘orthodox’ Islam rejects music, Qur’anic recitation (tilawa) and the Call to Prayer (adhan) are its only acceptable melodic practices. By the same logic, the special music of Sufism is bracketed under the labels ‘heterodox,’ or else ‘popular,’ Islam. Both ‘orthodox’ and ‘Sufi’ practices are then categorically distinguished from the ‘secular’ world and its music. This erroneous ‘tripolar’ view of music and religion in Egypt can be ameliorated by considering the rich range of Islamic melodic practices performed there. Performance of inshad dini (Islamic hymnody) has been widespread in Egypt throughout the twentieth century, crossing all geographical and social boundaries.[2] Focusing primarily on the supplication and glorification of God, praise and love for His Prophet, expressions of spiritual experience, and religious exhortations, inshad practice is not limited by region, economic class, or religious perspective. Inshad expresses the affective dimension of Islam, most pronounced in mysticism (Sufism). While inshad is always Sufi in the broadest sense of that word, and though some Sufi orders are rightly famous for their liturgical inshad (while others include none), inshad has been appreciated in a broad social domain far exceeding the borders of the Sufi orders.

  • Two Sources for Abu Dhuʾayb Al-Hudhali's Famous Elegy
    International Journal of Middle East Studies (2021), 53, 213–233 doi:10.1017/S0020743821000027 ARTICLE Two Sources for Abu Dhuʾayb al-Hudhali’s Famous Elegy Ali Ahmad Hussein Department of Arabic Language and Literature, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel Corresponding author. [email protected] Abstract This article considers the celebrated elegy by the classical 7th-century Arabic poet, Abu Dhuʾayb al-Hudhali — his ʿayniyya, which ends with ʿayn as a rhyming letter. Analyzing the poem’s structure and comparing it with that of two poems composed by Abu Dhuʾayb’s teacher, Saʿida b. Juʾayya al-Hudhali, leads to the conclusion that Saʿida’s two poems were the main sources on which the pupil drew to create his poem. The sophisticated changes that Abu Dhuʾayb introduced in structure and content, however, made his poem more memorable than those of his teacher. The article raises another question, to which there is, as yet, no definitive answer: what was the true inspiration for Abu Dhuʾayb’s poem? Was it the death of his sons, as is traditionally believed, or was it literary: to surpass his teacher in composing a more skillful poem? Keywords: Abu Dhuʾayb al-Hudhali; ʿayniyya; classical Arabic poetry; elegy; plague; Saʿida b. Juʾayya al-Hudhali This article is written during a time when a deadly virus—COVID-19—is attacking the world, from west to east and north to south. About a millennium and half ago, a similarly aggressive plague attacked Egypt. According to historical records, among those killed by this ancient plague were the sons of Abu Dhuʾayb al-Hudhali, a Muslim poet (d.

These righteous people who have been favoured with revelation are the prophets. These blessed envoys, who constitute a model for the community, have been appointed with three duties: A. To recite the verses of Allah and to propagate them; B. To purify and refine the nafs1; C. To teach the Book and wisdom. This unique support from our Lord began with the prophet Adam so that all of mankind has been included. Adam was both the first human being and the first prophet. This blessed path of guidance, supported and corroborated by the one hundred and twenty four thou- sand prophets who have come one after the other, has followed a path of development in accordance with the maturation of humanity – even though the creed has remained fundamentally the same - and eventu- ally reached its perfection with the prophet Muhammad.
