Abstract

Al-Mutanabbi ranks as one of the most renowned poets in the history of Arabic literature, with his poems reflecting his complex personality and ambitions. This research aims to explore the main themes in Al-Mutanabbi's works, such as identity, self-pride, praise, social critique, and commentary on societal dynamics. By employing textual analysis and historical study methods, this research examines how Al-Mutanabbi used poetry to express his thoughts, construct his self-image, and deliver critiques of social conditions and patronage relationships during his time. The findings reveal that Al-Mutanabbi consistently projected a strong sense of confidence and pride in his works, portraying himself as a great poet. He built relationships with rulers through laudatory poems but also expressed bold criticism of opponents and the societal conditions of his era. His immense ambition is evident in his works, which often highlight the conflict between personal aspirations and the socio-political challenges of the Abbasid era. This study provides new insights into the relationship between a poet's life and the literary works he produces. It also emphasizes how poetry serves as a tool for constructing self-identity and responding to the dynamics of power in the classical era.

Abstract

The use of ‘Amm (general) and ‘Khas (specific) expressions in the texts of the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as the importance of interpretative principles in understanding Islamic law. The Qur'an was revealed as a guide for life, encouraging Muslims to use their intellect. However, the diversity of language styles and the Arabic language's nature as the language of revelation requires scholarly tools, including interpretative principles, to avoid errors in interpretation. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach based on library research, involving primary and secondary sources to analyze the differences in meaning between general expressions (‘Amm), which encompass multiple meanings without limitation, and specific expressions (‘Khas), which have particular meanings. The study results indicate that ‘Amm expressions can remain general, convey specific meanings, or undergo takhsis (restriction), while ‘Khas expressions are limited to a particular entity or attribute. This study provides in-depth insights into the significant influence of ‘Amm and ‘Khas expressions on understanding Sharia texts and establishing Islamic law.
