Al-Jawahiri, one of the most illustrious contemporary classical poets of Iraq, was born in the holy city of Najaf to a cultured, scholarly, and cultivated family. The scientific and cultural environment of Najaf, the literary and scientific richness of his familial atmosphere, and Al-Jawahiri’ s poetic taste and talent caused him to turn to his predecessor poets’ works, especially the ones from the Abbasid era, and to begin reading and memorizing the poetic collections of the well-known poets of that era. This led him to follow the styles of the great Abbasid era poets such as Abul ʿ Ala Al-Maʿ arri, al-Buhturī , al-Mutanabbī , Abu Tammam, etc. to compose his own pieces of poetry, which can be apparently witnessed in his works. He is a poet with classical works, and is considered to be among the contemporary classicist poets. After presentation of his biography, the article at hand provides and analyses some of the Al-Jawahiri’ s poems. Then, it sets out to prove his tendency towards the Abbasid era poetry and poets, and it is shown that Al-Jawahiri’ s motives and style have been so influenced by the Abbasid era poetry that, notwithstanding the long time interval, one can claim that he is an Abbasid poet, and it is only the time that has separated him from the Abbasid era poets and has led to his recognition as a contemporary poet.

The Menhaj Al-Bolagha and Seraj Al-Odaba by Hazem Qartajeni is one of the most effective books on rhetoric and theory of Arabic poetry. Although he was grown up in an environment influenced by Ibn Rushd and is considered his indirect student, in this book (with a rhetoric and philosophical style) he is under the influence of Ibn Sina in founding and presenting the theory of Arabic poetry. Without mentioning the name of Ibn Rushd, he continually recites Ibn Sina's expressions and uses his views as a basis of his theory considering questions such as imitation, imagery, prosody, and true & false. Hazem in his book Menhaj Al-Bolagha tryied to implement Avicinna's promise in utilizing pure knowledge for theorizing poetry.

Narration is a cognitive tool to understand the experience flow and the theses of Analysis of stream of consciousness is considered as one of the most recent and popular methods of analyses of literary works. In the stream of consciousness method, for a detailed and momentum description, the content of thought has a central function and appears in the form of Narrative tips and techniques like internal and dramatic, monologues, soliloquy and the omniscient style of the first, second, or third person method. This study has a brief reference to its features and components of the stream of consciousness, and then tries to analyses a selection of seven pre-Islamic Arabic ode (Mu’ allaqat) referring to their fictional nature using the narrative techniques of the stream of consciousness. In other words, we try to answer this question; can part of the heritage of Arabic literature be considered in the context of stream of consciousness? It should be noted that the title of stream of consciousness only applies on the part of the literary creation that contains all or parts of characteristic of this stream. But we must keep in mind that studying these seven odes doesn’ t classify them in the context of stream of consciousness; its only an attempt to show the usage of modern techniques in such works. The findings show that: the poets of Mu’ allaqat, along with other narrative technique, used a dominant narrative technique based on poetic motives and intentions; the number of these techniques varies between two to three.

This article answers an old controversial question which asks whether poetry is better or prose. This question has been raised since such subjects as grammar, oratory, rhetoric, etc. appeared. No definite resolution has yet been reached. Generally speaking authors, critics, and thinkers have divided among themselves into two groups. The first group defends verse or poetry. The second group defends prose. However there has appeared another third group which takes sides with none of these first two groups and says that a fair middle approach should be taken. It is impossible to deliver a final verdict and decide which one is better or which one is deficient, because prose and poetry are essentially the same where poetry acts as a medium that translates feeling and passion through rhythm and words and prose uses language to impart ideas.

The prayers of Imam Sajjad (AS) have a special artistic style that contribute to a great body of our religious literature. Therefore, it is essential to pay due attention to this aspect of the prayers also known as the prayer literature. In this paper, we try to analyze the imagery created through personification in the prayers of Imam Sajjad (AS) with the aim of portraying emotion, movement and dynamism. Findings from the review suggest that emotion and dynamism proceeded from personification hasn’ t been limited to human but also is used to from other animals. Personification not used in these prayers as a rheotic but it has been employed in agreement with the moral relationship with the Creator which is the very purpose of the prayers and this makes the audience find a kind of dynamic prayers and better relationship with God. In addition to brief personification, extended personification has also been used in the prayers. The elements that are personified in the prayers are beyond the mundane world and exist in the form of abstract concepts such as praise and Ramadan etc. which could be argued that they have received more attention in the religious literature and the prayer literature, in particular.

The commentary of Mir Sayyed Sharif Jurjani on Ibn Hajib’ s Kafaya is the most valid Persian commentary on this grammar book. Jurjani has expressed the Arabic grammar principles through an eloquent and simple language, yet in a robust and logical style. The discussion of triptote and diptote is among the most elaborate and complex topics of Arabic grammar. However, Jurjani has discussed different dimensions of this topic and has presented the opinions of different grammarians. Although Jurjani has been greatly affected by Razi Astar Abadi in style and content, but as he has had a logical mind, has been equipped with sufficient amount of knowledge in Arabic grammar, has had independent opinions, and has been a capable scholar in using analogical inferences, this effect has been a positive one which has added to the scientific and technical values of his commentary. This article presents Jurjani’ s discussion of triptote and diptote and then, compares it with Razi’ s assertions so as to present a vivid illustration of both commentators’ viewpoints. Through this comparative examination of the two Persian and Arabic commentaries, the lovers of Persian language can get familiar with the ideas of these two Iranian scholars regarding this discussion and its different dimensions. Moreover, in order to make it easy for the readers to understand the materials, the Arabic text of Razi’ s commentary has been translated into Persian, and the Persian text of Jurjani’ s commentary has been paraphrased in most cases.
