论前伊斯兰诗歌

简介

Taha Hussein published “On Pre-Islamic Poetry” (Fī l-shiʿr al-jāhilī) in Cairo in 1926, based on his lectures at the Egyptian University. The introduction announces a new method: the scholar must, like Descartes, forget his nationality and his religion and accept nothing he has not examined. Applied to the poetry attributed to the Arabs before Islam, this leads him to conclude that most of it was composed after the coming of Islam, for religious reasons – to support the Qur’an – and for political, tribal and literary ones, and that the language of the supposed poets does not match their tribes; he added that the presence of Abraham and Ishmael in the Torah and the Qur’an does not by itself prove their historical existence. Scholars of al-Azhar and members of parliament protested, and a complaint was filed; the public prosecutor investigated and in 1927 declined to bring charges. Taha Hussein reissued the book in revised form as On Pre-Islamic Literature (1927).
