Abstract:
The Arab literature in Al-Andalus is considered an extension to the Islamic civilization in the land of the sun set. The Arabs ruled Al-Andalus eight centuries during which Al-Andalus lands had witnessed golden ages and gloomy ones.
That was how Al-Andalus was represented in our hearts. So, Al- Andalus picture was illustrated in our hearts with the lost progress and the bleeding wound. This feeling is created in ourselves ad we live-under occupation and discrimination similar the condition of the Muslims in Al- Andalus at that time. However, I choose the topic of elegizing as it is full of true emotions and expresses the feelings in the accurate and difficult situations.
I divided my thesis to seven chapters, introduction and concluding section. The chapters are a the following:
1. Chapter one: I discussed the development of elegizing through ages passing in the Abbasi and Al-Andalus ages.
2. Chapter two: I discussed the elegizing of the relatives and I divided it into seven kinds discussing the emotion.
3. Chapter three: I discussed the self-elegizing which affects the poet during his dying period.
4. Chapter four: I discussed in this chapter the elegizing of kingdoms which were surrendered under the leaders of (Yousif Ben Tashfeen and the critical situation at 6 that time.
5. Chapter five: I focused in this section on elegizing the Andalus an cities which surrendered to the Christian Spanish.
6. Chapter six: In this last chapter the studies were specified to arts which its language formation was treated. In addition to elegizing speeches mentioning some of the expressions such as the generation and emigration, metaphors, assimilation, abstract picture and rhetoric as well as the music.
