  • A Study of the Effect of Al-Andalus and Mashriq Bilateral in the Production of Andalusian Creative Prose
    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 13, Issue 8, 2020 A Study of the Effect of Al-Andalus and Mashriq Bilateral in the Production of Andalusian Creative Prose Hadi Taleb Mohsen Al-Ajilia, aCollege of Education for Human Sciences/ University of Babylon, Email: [email protected] The writers of Al-Andalus have considered al-Mashriq "the eastern part of the Arab world" as a homeland where they displaced from and reflected in the literary imagery of prose. Although the literary heritage of al-Mashriq "the Arabs" was considered as a model of literature, it has been exemplary throughout all the ages of Andalusian literature. The development of these cultural relationships between al- Andalus and al-Mashriq during the different ages of literature has a great effect in prose. The eastern part of the Arab world "al- Mashriq" was credited on al-Andalus throughout the ages of al-Mashriq culture. Until the late of the 3rd century, al- Andalusians "the Spanish people" started bragging, then begin with literary self-assertion, and they try to make a prose literary identity that concerns them. Then al-Andalusia through its location, geographical, and the social environment has acquired a great value represented by features of Arabic literature as well as the features of Andalus that have acquired from the new home. Intercultural literature between al-Mashriq and al-Andalus is one of the most important features of the late ages of Andalusian literature. The direct communication between al-Andalusian literati and al- Andalusian writers with the civilisation and the cultural literature of al- Mashriq, which has a great effect in creating the competitiveness favourably in prose that makes it bilateral and positive.

  • 'Abd Allah Ibn Al-Zubayr and His Career As Caliph
    ‘Abd Allah Ibn Al-Zubayr and His Career as Caliph Prof. Dr. Mehmet Mehdi Ilhan∗ Abstract ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr was raised by ‘A’isha in the Prophet’s (s.a.s.) house. Safiyyah, the Prophet’s maternal aunt was his paternal grandmother, ‘A’isha’s sister Asma was his mother, and Abu Bakr his maternal grandfather. ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr’s upbringing and lineage played an important role throughout his life and future career as caliph. Although ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr was undeniably close to ‘A’isha, a very reliable source for the sunna and the traditions of the Prophet, his loyalty to the teachings of the Prophet and particular- ly the warning to those who attribute to the Prophet what he had not said that they would be sent to hell determined his choice of only 33 hadith to transmit. His love for the house of the Prophet and his grandfather Abu Bakr made him a staunch defender of the office of caliphate when he saw it abused by Mu‘awiyah and his son Yazid. ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr ruled over Hijaz and the Eastern provinces from Mecca for nine years. The people of Iraq, Hijaz, and a large part of Syria paid him homage as caliph. After his death in 692 A.D., the caliphate of ‘Abd al-Malik b. Marwan was confirmed. In this paper I will deal with the life and career of ‘Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr and show how the Prophet’s teachings were reflected in his character and behaviour.

It is a major reason for the prosperity of trade, securing roads, maritime transport, and transportation, as well as political and economic stability, which was reflected in the growth of civilization in Andalusia, especially the era of Banu al-Ahmar in Andalusia, http://annalsofrscb.r 18455 o Annals of R.S.C.B., ISSN:1583-6258, Vol. 25, Issue 6, 2020, Pages. 18455 - 18485 Received 25 september 2020; Accepted 08 october 2020. which spanned more than two and a half centuries. The source of civilization in Granada would not have stopped had it not been for the victory of the Kingdom of Castile, evacuating the Arabs from it, and extinguishing the flame of civilization in it. One of the aspects that we have highlighted is the judiciary and judges in Cordoba during the time of the emirate, which is the Emirate of (Bani al-Ahmar).

  • Ihsan Abbas: Custodian of Arabic Heritage and Culture *
    NECROLÓGICA IHSAN ABBAS: CUSTODIAN OF ARABIC HERITAGE AND CULTURE * LAWRENCE I. CONRAD University of Hamburg It would be difficult to imagine who in the twentieth century could have deserved this title more, for with the death of Ihsan Abbas on 29 July 2003 at the age of 82, after some years of declining health, the Arab world has lost a figure who for decades dominated many impor­ tant aspects of its cultural life and the ways in which this would be understood and interpreted in Arab scholarship. Ihsan Abbas was bom in the Palestinian village of 'Ayn al-Gazál, near Haifa, on 2 December 1920; he was the third of five children in his family, and his father was a trader in cattle. His acumen in Arabic and his enthusiasm for cultural topics soon became evident, and, like many other promising Palestinian students of his generation, he was sent to the Arab College in Jerusalem for his studies. He completed his secondary education there and was certified as a school teacher in 1941, as war engulfed the world and tensions mounted in Palestine. He spent some years teaching in Safed, and shortly after the end of the war he enrolled in the University of Cairo, where he completed his bachelor's degree in Arabic literature in 1949, his master's degree in 1951 for a thesis on Arab literary culture in Sicily, and his Ph.D. in 1954 for a dissertation on asceticism (zuhd) and its influence on Umayyad culture. He taught Arabic while a graduate student in Cairo, and between 1951 and 1961 he was a lecturer at Gordon Memorial College, which later became Khartoum University.
