لمحات من الانتقاد الاجتماعي في الشعر العباسي

Abstract EN

As on art, poetry must relate to a group of listeners, expressing their issues and revealing, at the same tame, every positive and negative aspect in society.

Thus a number of Abbasid poets employed most of their poems to their society, criticizing its negative points aiming to reform and brighten its dark areas.

In this research, focus is upon critical aspects of the Abbasid poetry .

It was clear that such poets felt responsible , although undirectly, to change what could be changed of negative aspects .

It seemed obvious that most of their criticism did not violate our Islamic principles , but it tended to support it, aiming for avoiding the bad things by means of convincing the listeners through the evidence which supports their argument.

Abbasid poetic texts were critical and modern that is why that they can be adopted to refine our contemporary problems , and this is the important factor which give these texts the immortality through generations.
