Arab women enjoyed a prominent place in the Arab society before Islam in general and in poets themselves, especially when European women were a long-term possessor. The Arabs gave women care, love and appreciation. They were the mother, the sister, the wife and the beloved. It is indicative of the high status of the vast and basic space occupied at the beginning of the poem of ignorance, the artistic construction of the poem Jahiliyyah had to begin with an introduction to the ears of those who hear it. And this introduction was mostly a phlegm, where the poet stands on the ruins and bemoans the separation of the beloved and praises the benefits of beloved and qualities, poets competed in the description of beauty and the mention of its significance and perhaps praise the spiritual benefits. This concern also represents the Arab's recognition of women's work and its characteristics. The poet said: I learned that I am Malika I am a liad prepared for me and normal I have been snoring the butcher and the lab I go and spend where I am not living past And I am honored to drink precious dignity And a rupture between the retinal cortex The poet here addresses women and attests to his qualities and qualities in courage and generosity and makes it an incentive for the permanence of that tribe. Is not the evidence of the woman's pride and honor of being the most beautiful titles for her speeches, said Hatem al-Tai (): None of the daughter of Abdullah and the daughter of Malik And the daughter of the papyrus and the rose horse If you make the goods, seek him Akila, I do not eat it alone Women took a prominent position in the same Arab, so he took it upon himself to protect and preserve it and refused to be humiliated and betrayed and perhaps forced to fight in defense of it. It was narrated that young people from Quraysh and Bani Kenana were exposed to a beautiful girl from Bani Amer sitting in the market of Okaz and preferred to burqa and wanted to reveal that if the tribe were all collapsing to support their sons men. She unveiled her face and died. Then he sat behind one of them and pulled the tip of her shoulders with a thorn. When she uncovered her dress, she called on the people of her family to call her and ask for their relief. Then the war, in which many blood had been shed, ended until he mediated the war of illiteracy and took the blood of the people and pleased Bani Amer. Al-Nu'man's daughter was also a reason for the war in Dhi Qar. It was also said that Hind al-Mundhir's daughter was also a reason to ignite the fire of the war. "Al-Harith al-Ghassani spoke to the vow of his daughter Hinda and promised him, and Hind did not want the men and made her skin near the leprosy, so he refused to marry her and held her from the king of Ghassan. ). The death of al-Zahraa, the sister of Kulayb, was the cause of the war between Yemen, Bani Rabia, Mudar, Iyad, Tayyah and Qutah. The cry of Laila, the daughter of Mahlhal, or Amr ibn Kulthum, was the cause of the wars of Adnan and Qahtan. The woman was in a phase of ignorance, This continued until the end of the pre-Islamic era. Some poets joined their mothers, such as Shabib ibn al-Buraisah, Ibn Mayada, Manzoor ibn Habah, Ibn Zubaybah, al-Silik ibn al-Salika, and many others. But some of the tribes belonged to the mother such as Bjila, Khandaf and Tahia (the reference to the cooking of the daughter of the sun), including Abu Ghoul Tahawi of the poets of enthusiasm (). There are also references in poetry indicating the proportion of children to their mothers, as the words of the Shanfari in Lamith (): Build up the children of my mother I am to the people of others, I wish As he addressed them in proportion to their mother, not to their father. This indicates the prevalence of the ratio to the mother and the woman participated in the study of poetry and the pain of medicine and astronomy and gossip news and news, women were men's men, and inspired poets to appeal to the fighters to fight, but that the woman herself was feeling equal to the man, Ozajr Lahaina and put on the boy And what we and the boys are We will try to review some of the rights that women have in common with men in the pre-Islamic era, and we will limit ourselves to women who occupy a distinguished social position at that time. | ||
