Color and its significance in the poetry of ibn Al-Haddad Al-Andalusi

Alsammarrie, Ban Kadhim Makki

Abstract

The topic of color has occupied diverse Arabic and non-Arabic studies, both scientific and literary alike. The effectiveness of color in Arabic poetry is particularly notable because it is linked to emotions and feelings. Poets' awareness of the role of color within the fabric of poetic text necessitates examining their ability to employ this significant element, considering it a main pillar in the poetic lexicon that distinguishes one poet from another. Among the rich Arab environments with colors is Andalusia, which witnessed an expansion in civilization and architecture, and the flourishing of life, alongside its naturally vibrant colors. Poets captured these observations in their poetry, with the help of their fertile imagination, conveying symbolic meanings carried by colors, which motivated the choice of this research topic. The study relies on several main pillars, most notably: the individuality of the poet, the specificity of the poetic presentation, and the uniqueness of color. The study covers color and its significance in the poetry of Ibn Al-Haddad, focusing on the nature of color in traditional poetic themes like love, elegy, description, and pride. The research includes an introduction about the biography of Ibn Al-Haddad Al-Andalusi, the first chapter on the significance of color in his poetry, and the third chapter on the artistic study of his work. The conclusion of the research discusses the main findings of the study. Keywords: Color, Arabic poetry, emotions and feelings, Andalusia, Ibn Al-Haddad
