Sastra Jahiliah dalam Tinjauan Islam (Analisis Unsur Adab dalam Syair dan Nasr Jahiliy Menurut Kacamata Syariat)

Abstract

Jahiliy literature refers to the development of Arabic literature in the pre-Islamic period, which includes literary works in the form of poetry and prose that describe the cultural, adab, and moral values of Arab society at that time. This study aims to describe the elements of adab in poetry and nasr jahiliy and assess their suitability with Islamic law, considering the controversy related to the acceptance of jahiliy literary works that are considered contrary to Islamic principles. The research method used is qualitative with a library research approach, where data is collected from various relevant literature sources regarding jahiliy literature and Islamic teachings. The results of the study show that although there is criticism of the practice of ignorance, some literary products contain moral values that are in line with the teachings of Islam, such as patience, courage, and peace, which are taught in the verses of Zuhair bin Abi Sulma and the sermons of Hani' bin Qabishah. In conclusion, jahiliy literature is not completely contrary to Islam, and can even be studied and taken moral values that are beneficial to the development of Islamic literature and manners..
