Research title: Quranic stories in the poetry of (Muhyar Al-Daylami)

Abstract

Abstract:

Religious heritage is an important source that has enriched the experiences of writers in general, and poets in particular. They have returned to this rich spring with their artistic expressions, reflecting not only on the sanctity of religious heritage, but also on the supreme authority through which religious discourse has dominated. Therefore, we see poets drawing inspiration from the Holy Quran for the meanings of its verses, stories, and mentioned characters and events, translating them to suit a specific situation. From there, they can draw on and refer to the Quranic text to support their vision with argument and evidence. Mihyar is one of the poets for whom Quranic stories provide an outlet and a supportive foundation, providing them with artistic meanings and images, and serving as one of their cultural references.

The study revealed that Mahyar al-Daylami relied on his tribal religious heritage of Qur’anic stories, relying on the evocation of the influential narrative scene at all levels as evidence to establish his argument and demonstrate his artistic ability in granting the praised one a sacred faith-like quality in order to obtain his gift. The study revealed that the poet possessed a modern religious culture related to what he read from Qur’anic texts and its infiltration into his poems and various purposes, but it came in an allusive form most of the time and through bringing some words from Qur’anic texts, especially if we know that the Qur’anic text explained what was unclear in the Holy Qur’an, which indicates that the poet possessed a broad modern culture.
