The Jinn In The Ignorantpoetry

This research talks about the Jinn in the ignorant poetry. The significance of studying this research is clear in reveling some sides from the thought of the ignorant human who is considered a part from the thought of the old and modern Arabic human and about the similarity of basic legends for the people of the old world and its overlap in literature. In addition, it clarifies and illustrates the origin of these legends and fables and the ability of the ignorant poet in employing his imaginations and obsessions in his poetry. The nature of the research necessitated to divide it into introduction, six chapters and a conclusion. In the first chapter, I talked about the Jinn in the old human and Arabic tradition. I reached that the Jinn has a high position and importance for these nations because they looked to it a look full with holiness, fear and desire, they attributed to it all things they noticed from natural phenomena, and what follow them from illness and other things in the absence of the divine and scientific law. The Jinn occupied a vital position on the levels of the Christian and Jewish religions; they attributed to it the fall affair and the results resulted from it as evils and discomforts. In the second theme, I presented the ignorant Arabs' look for the Jinn and the things which they were practicing as slogans and rituals to get its consent and acceptance to be near to it and prevent its hurt. I proved through it the link of intellectual, cultural and human communication among the different nations. As regards to the second chapter, I specialized it to talk about the linguistic and conventional concept. On the other hand, I illustrated what they carry from the meanings of hiding which are supported with the opinions of many historians. Then I talked about the types of the Jinn and its levels. I noticed that its world is similar to the world of the human from its class and varied construction, and I talked about its forms and shapes which reflected that primitive naive mentality which made these illusions and claims. As regards to chapter three, I began it by talking about the relation of the Jinn with the human through what has mentioned in the ignorant poetry beginning with the conflict of the Jinn with the human and passing with utilizing the Jinn for the benefit of the human and the attempt of the ignorant human to be near from it by all means. Then I displayed the possibility of coupling between the Jinn and the human and the things which resulted from these relations from compound product. Then I moved to the role of the evils in the process of poetic innovation, in the magic and clergy. In the fourth chapter, I talked about the relation of the Jinn with the animal, and its taking for some animals as means to ride on them, then the possibility of forming the Jinn and its reincamation to the forms of some animals and what follow that from slogans and rituals such as startling and hanging the heel of the rabbit…etc. Then I moved to talk in the fifth chapter about the places in which the Jinn and ghouls are found, then I presented the desert effect in the self of the ignorant human and his mentality and the extent of reflecting this effect on his imaginations and obsessions which encouraged him to create these illusions and imagination these creatures. I stood with its relation with dams, mountains and valleys, and the look of the Arabs for these places and what followed that from its holiness and fear from its penetrating, besides I illustrated the effect of the fables, legends, beliefs and the old religions in them. With regards to chapter six, I stood with the poetic image concept, then I moved to talk about the significance of the Jinn image in the ignorant poetry beginning with the mythology side and what follows it from religious affairs and proved the ability of the ignorant poet to get his subject from mythological, historian and religious origins. Then the social side through which I reached to the attempt of the ignorant poet to make varied and social relations with these creatures.
