TheShari'ahConundrum in Nigeria and the Zamfara Model
One of the outstanding issues in contemporary Islamist revivalism in sub-Saharan Africa is constitutional reform which will ensure the re-enactment of the shari'ah as a main, if not the main, legal system in countries with Muslim majority or where Muslims constitute a sizeable minority. Although shari'ah had always had a restricted sphere of operation, especially in Islamic societies where colonialism had often deprived it of jurisdiction on area…
The Historic Encounter Between Al-Mutanabbi and Al-Hatimi Its Contribution to the Discourse on Ghuluww (Hyperbole) in Arabic Literary Theory
Literary seances historically served as platforms for discussions and intellectual competitions. The discussion arising from the encounter between al-Mutanabbi (d. 965) and al-Hatimi (d. 998) concerning hyperstatement, metaphor, and aesthetic emphasis in poetic expression betrays a familiar but not an uncommon hiatus in perception and conceptualization between the Arab poet and his evaluator in the literary tradition. This study attempts to chart…
The Arabic Theory of Prosification and Versification
The Arabic Theory of Prosification and Versification
Again on taḍmīn in Arabic theoretical discourse
In my earlier examination of the phenomenon oftaḍmīnin Arabic poetry, I attempted to show how it evolved from the status of a defect into a poetic device. But I could not at that time offer any explanation that would reasonably account for this development. Moreover, I have come to realize that my treatment of the term as referring to those instances where the full meaning of an idea started in one line emerges only in the succeeding line(s), viz…
A Weak Point in a Strong Chain
All through its long history, the Arabic theory of literature has oscillated between intuitiveness and tortuous analytical discourse. Discernible in the native theorists' interpretation of sources is an engaging spectacle of startling divergences that sometimes verged on contradiction. Their efforts at establishing a definitive pattern of characterization in regard to a number of literary phenomena were not rarely confusing. Attributing this to s…
A Fourth Century Contribution To Literary Theory
The original sin in Arabic poetics
Scholarly assemblies in the Arabic intellectual tradition served as forums not only for entertainment butalso for spectacular events of both literary and historical significance. Al-Sīrāfī (d. 368/979) related how at one such literary seance, which was organized at the instance of Ibn Durayd (d. 321/933), a participant read these verses, attributed to Adam, the progenitor of mankind, lamenting the murder of Abel by Cain:The land and all those on …

Ontaḍmīn(enjambment) and structural coherence in classical Arabic poetry
The importance of poetry as the chief aesthetic experience of the Arabs as well as the principal repository of materials on their life and thought had long been recognized by the Arab and, following them, non-Arab students of Arabic culture. The fact that all the technical terminologies of Arabic verse which were formalized in 'ilm al- 'aruḍ(Prosody) are derived from the components of the bedouin tent-a highly prized possession-indicates the sign…
