Abstract AR
تميزت اللغة العربية عن مختلف اللغات السامية الأخرى بإعطائها معاني جديدة لكلمة (حب) معاني متسامية عن الجوانب العاطفية الحسية بل و الأهم من ذلك أن كلمة (حب) وجدت مكانة مركزية في اللغة العربية من ناحية ثم خضعت لتطورات دينية و روحية و فلسفية عميقة من ناحية أخرى.
و لقد أثرت الآيات القرآنية و الأحاديث النبوية على تشكيل لغة الحب (لغة الخبرة الروحية) على صوفية الإسلام في مرحلة مبكرة (في القرنين الأول و الثاني الهجريين).
كما أن مفردات اللغة العربية الغزيرة و الفريدة و المتميزة قد ساعدت المتصوفة على التعبير عن أدق خلجات المشاعر الإنسانية المرتبطة بالحب عامة و الحب الإلهي خاصة فالجذر (ح- ب- ب) بمختلف مشتقاته له مكانة مركزية في اللغة العربية عامة وفي التصوف الإسلامي خاصة.
Abstract EN
Arabic excelled other Semitic languages by bestowing new meanings on the term (love), meanings that transcended the sensual aspects of the term.
More importantly, the term (love) occupied a central position in the Arabic language, and it also underwent deep religious, spiritual, and philosophical developments.
Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions left their impact at an early stage (in the first and second centuries after Hijra) on the formulation of the mystical language of love (the language of spiritual experience).
It is worth noting that the rich and unique Arabic vocabulary enabled mystics to express the slightest shades of human emotions, related to love in general and divine love in specific.
The etymology of the word love and its different derivations enjoy a central status in Arabic as well as in Sufism.
As such was born a new language never known to pre-Islam Ar, a language distant from the dominant forms of Classical Arabic literature.
It was the language of love (the language of spiritual experience to mystics), a language that emerged from the start without external cultural sources or influences in order to express the originality of the spiritual experience of Islam.
Having undergone a certain development, such language of love as well as the spiritual experience it carries became the main component, and even the goal, of any work in Muslim Sufism starting from the 3rd Hijri century.
