Abstract

This study examines the symbolic significance of temporal and spatial expressions in the Sufi poem “A‘rāf al-Ma‘ārif” by Bello Mustafa Al-Mangari, adopting a morpho–semantic approach that reveals the transition of lexical items from their literal meanings to mystical, symbolic dimensions. The research identifies key temporal and spatial terms in the poem, analyzes their morphological structures, and explores their semantic functions within the spiritual narrative of the text. Findings indicate that space in the poem functions as a spiritual locus as reflected in references such as Durbal, Yarwa, Gwange, and the Sheikh’s House while time becomes a spiritual state rather than a physical measurement, as seen in terms like ages, feasts, time, and canopies of blessings. These expressions transcend their material meanings to symbolize Sufi stations and experiential states. The analysis further shows that morphological patterns especially noun forms of place, verbal nouns, and broken plurals enhance the density and depth of symbolic meaning. The study concludes that “A‘rāf al-Ma‘ārif” represents a rich model of Sufi symbolism in which time and place are reconfigured according to spiritual experience, demonstrating the poet’s skill in employing linguistic structures to construct an integrated mystical discourse.

Abstract

The term “Amil” refers to the grammatical factor that that determines the inflectional ending of a word. Classical and Modern Scholars of Arabic Grammar discuss on its important to the understanding the text, supporting or criticizing. This article aims to study the “Amil” and its positive or negative impact on Arabic grammar, by presenting scholars’ opinions, analyze them, and draw conclusions, using a descriptive and analytical approach. The study revealed that; the concept of “Amil” underwent a distortion after Khalil and his student Sibawayh, as it was seen as a building element and a connector of sentence structure elements, whereas others saw it as a bringer of grammatical signs. The reason some grammarians deviate from classicals’ concept of “Amil” was their influence by philosophical and other religious sciences, such as jurisprudence and theology. The theory emerged with Abdullah ibn Abi Ishaq, then passed through Isa ibn Umar, and flourished with Khalil and Matured with Sibawayh. The differences among grammarians in the theory of “Amil” reflect their intellectual orientations, with each influenced by their own school of thought.
