Quranic impact in the poetry Of Ibn Jabir Andalusian (at 780 AH)

Abstract

Using an analytical deductive approach, this paper explores the Quranic influence on the poetry of Ibn Jaber Al-Andalusi (died 780 AH), either in terms of borrowed vocabulary, structure, theme, allusion, or allegory.The paper attempts to trace the Quranic influence in Ibn Jaber's poetic output in order to see how such borrowings were utilized poetically and what new significance they acquired. The end goal of the paper is not only to unearth the roots of the poet's religious education but also to see how such education found expression and enriched the poet's artistic experience.
