This paper aims at exploring the image of Arab Muslims in a novel
entitled The Road to Jerusalem by Solon Belowe, and asserts that
this novel belongs to travel literature that well-known genre.
This study aims to an alyzesome of the Arabic readings of the philosophical texts of
Ibn Rushd and to demonstrate their influence on the ones that western researchers have
followed. In spite of the ideological dimensions of oriental studies, they o
pened new
horizons and introduced approaches that affected the way we deal with Rushditexts.
Moreover. they have presented intellectual challenges that must be dealt with cognitively,
not only with a prejudiced selective manner.
The researcher tries to point out to the reasons which made the Arabic readings for
Cordoba differ from one researcher, sometimes to the extent of complete opposition.
to know the science of westernism whose features appeared in contemporary Arab thought by the thinker Hassen Hanafi, and contribution in its development via identifying its features first; "and to criticize it Second." is today considered to
be a must, but rather urgent "to avoid having fallen in the limit of an Arab civilized identity which is convulsive and rejecting the other through a predetermined judgment and a textual thought which is undebatable and not less difficult than the undebntability and darkness of the fundament alist salafi mind that forbids diligence, rationality and development. The research deals with the needs to form the science of westernism as per the arab ego to be pure and free from western colonial cultural orientalism indirectly, being far from reaction as centeralized on the axis of self-arrogance towards uprising arab scientific thought whose concern is to keep abreast of the world and go into history with keeping up the ego safe and secure, through analyzing the phenomenon of western superiority and detecting the keys of power and its reasons to find why we are fused in the western civilization. This is to stop being fascinated excessively by that, to get rid of that or to lessen the duality of south and north or arabs and the western to get to a state of international participation in making the pillars of civilization, and to stop being annexed to the west and taking with no return. Not doing that, the picture of the arab and the muslim will not be corrected for themselves first and for the world second. Thus, this research is an attempt to focus on the leading role of arabs and muslims to have a thought mechanism, not pragmatic but scientific to keep abreast of history force with no clash or being annexed, so it should be noted that orientalism is a thought that stands on the opposite bank of the westernized thought . today, the west is especially fully ready to get any Arabic text to criticize it, including America, and to criticize its racism in order to be considered as serving their centrality in an attempt to make arab drain purchased especially those who think of the arab Islamic identity to have them work for their mythodology because this colonialism is not pure coincidence, but it is based on hardworking pursuit in avery tireless way.
This article critiques the hegemonic role of the textual space created by what Gérard Genette called the paratext in constructing a cultural boundary of otherness. Such paratextual strategy shapes the Catholic-oriented readings of “Arab Love Song,” a
poem by the British poet Francis Thompson, which have controlled its reception as a Catholic metanarrative on the pre-Islamic Arabian otherness. In particular, the authoritative paratext on “Arab Love Song” has maintained an undisputed projection of demonology and exorcism as pillars of the pre-Islamic Arab Bedouins’ life. My proposed reading of “Arab Love Song” engages both narratology and postcolonial criticism to uncover the effaced pre-Islamic Arabian voice in the paratexts of Thompson’s poem. In this context, this article demonstrates how Thompson’s poem communicates a very non-Catholic perspective, regardless of the poet’s objective. Arguably, “Arab Love Song” has both captured and revolutionized the theme and structure of the pre-Islamic Arabian love poem, the renowned qasidah.
