The Name of Allah in the Contemporary Arabic Poetry

Abstract

This study examines the various aspects of the deep tackling of the meaning of the name of Allah in the contemporary poetic texts. It is known that the modern Arabic literature which had always discussed the various aspects of life will always be considered as a rich dictionary that includes unlimited topics.This constant discussion and variation give the old topics a new look and prospective in the field of poetic images and lexicon. The name of Allah is among the topics that could be dealt with from a new prospective every time. This topic has been viewed from two main ways: the first and classical way is the fact that people(and researchers) usually attach the name of Allah with praying and asking for help- even though the classical poets did their best to add new and untraditional meanings and ways every time. As for the second perspective, it can be summarized by the new meanings that are the result of the modern era including the main consequences of wars and political conflicts. The researcher discusses the topic by presenting examples of old and modern meanings to avoid repetition
