Informing Maqamas in Arabic

Abstract

After the advent of Islam, Arabic literature was heavily influenced by the Qur'an. Quotations from the Qur'an were frequently used in proses and poems. In maqama type works, besides the quotations, the artistic aspect of the Qur'an is taken as an example. The oratory maqames, which emerged as reactionary speech at first, later left their place to the written story maqamas. As a result of their popularity in the literary community, articles for information purposes began to be written in the type of maqama (informing maqamas). Some of the Islamic maqamas were written mixed with the story. While a certain subject was discussed at first in Islamic maqamas, later on, two or more living beings were discussed, such as the type of theater. In the next stage, inanimate objects were made to speak in the maqamas, and in the last stage, abstract objects such as science were made to speak. Although there are many studies on story maqams in Turkey, rarely research has been done on Islamic maqamas. With this article, it is aimed to provide a brief information about Islamic maqamas and to form a key to the studies to be done from now on. Maqamas of the informing type will be listed here.
