فلسفة الكلمة في رسالة الغفران : قراءة تأويلية

الملخص EN

This study aims to recognize the emergence of words in the text of Resalat Al-Ghufran compiled by Abi Al-Alaa Al-Ma’arri, particularly those words that had composed an analogy in showing more than a single description and form of words in the text of Resalat Al-Ghufran.

It further aims to present them through a special understanding that depends on interpretation of the nature of words in the text of Resalat Al-Ghufran.

Interpretational understanding is considered one of the best readings that look at the traditional texts – an aspect that is clearly reflected in this study.

In the study, presence of words in the text of Resalat Al-Ghufran has constituted mystical and invisible explanations of the nature of the dialectical life that was in the time of Abu Al-Alaa Al-Ma’arri since such historical words are more like a document circulated from the author’s time until this age.

Hence, the question posed by the study is how the author managed to pass all his thoughts with words whose emergence came replete with multiple concepts and characterized by eloquence in their implications.

When the study has investigated and explored these underlying and hidden connotations behind emergence of such words in the text, it opened up to the connotations of time and historical periods without ignoring that the time period of Al-Ma'arri had acted as an institution and a product of a positive and reasonable understanding of the meaning, particularly with the fact of focus of interpretational research on the obsession with uncovering the hidden meaning.

Moreover, interpretative reading is concerned with annulation of the old error of a one-sided view in terms of tackling literary texts in general and Arabic prose in particular.

Though the interpretative reading had been previously confined to religious texts in the Arab world and internationally, interpretation has shown high literary values when applying its concepts to literary texts.

In addition, the nature of similarity and analogy with respect to images and compositions, condensation and coding between them and the religious texts is another reason to apply it as a theory investigating literary texts and activating productivity of the meaning according to the modern understanding of the recipient – a matter that the study has been concerned with when tackling the text of Resalat Al-Ghufran compiled by Abi Alaa Al-Ma’arri.
