The Flattery analytical historical study by sacred and situational texts

Abstract

Flattery is a human phenomenon that has two faces. The first is praiseworthy and is manifested in the flattery of the righteous prophets, imams and virtuous ones to God in an effort to seek His pleasure and forgiveness out of their humility to the Creator (glory be to Him) and instructing them to the rest of mankind and encouraging them to take this matter as a behavior and an approach in their practical lives. It also includes the tendency of many human beings to social adulation. To work to calm the home atmosphere, and prevent it from being disturbed, for example what is related to children's adulation of their parents and kissing their hands and feet. Sometimes it includes flattery by the wife to her husband in order to gain his approval and reduce the level of social problems that have long plagued society as a result of multiple factors. Often flattery from the husband to his wife for the same reasons and motives in particular, if sex is a mediator, his intercession is not rejected. Another reprehensible and ugly face is used by flatterers and climbers to obtain personal gains and benefits. The Arabs set a clear rule for distinguishing between praise and flattery. If a person exceeds the limit in his praise, he enters the limit of flattery. If an Arab visits a man and exaggerates his praise, he feels a strange welcome and interest from him that he did not know before. He said: “Deliberations are not warm.” In the sense that some object was the reason for this welcome filled with flattery. There are many prolific poets who bring rulers to the level of divinity (God forbid) for money and prestige. And there are those who slander the people of truth for being the opponents of the sultan, and he obtains from them with his hair and tongue, and the purpose is also money and prestige. Perhaps the man deliberately reported this to the pilgrims; For his knowledge of the man's hatred of the people of the house. And that Egyptian poet approached the Mamluk ruler in a strange and strange way, as he described an earthquake that occurred in Egypt as a dance performed by the globe for the joy of that ruler.
