Arab and Islamic mythology and manifestations of the sacred event

Abstract

This study reveals cultural phenomena, as a reservoir of simple social systems; such as customs, traditions, customs, beliefs, or composites; Such as religious, philosophical, moral and artistic values, as well as the rooting of the sacred event in human cultures, and its manifestation through myths, rituals and symbols. Although myths are a symbolic account of the lives of peoples and the religion of primitive man, they were not spared from being a fertile reference for myth, epics and heroic stories, due to their immersion in the miraculous, and their immersion in the world of the paranormal. The myth depicts some events and personalities whose existence is taken for granted, but it was distorted or amplified by the collective imagination, literary traditions, and established customs, according to what we found in some texts imagining Arab Islamic culture; Such as the text “A Thousand and One Nights”, the text “Animal” by Al-Jahiz, the text “The Great Animal Life” by Kamal Al-Din Al-Damiri, the text “The Masterpiece of Minds and the Elite of Admiration” by Abu Hamid Al-Mazni Al-Andalusi Al-Gharnati, the text “The Followers and Whistles” by Ibn Shahid Al-Andalusi, and the text “The Message of Forgiveness” "by Abu Ala'a Al-Ma'arri, ... and other texts that refer to the "wonderful", the paranormal, and the sacred event.
