| Summary: | At a time when our Arab nation is fighting its most ferocious and cruel battles for the sake of realizing itself and confirming its national identity, we see that the manifestations of national awakening represent a mature idea and a national act by which this nation shields everything that might target it in its reality and its future. <br />The thought of the nation and the language, literature, heritage, history and culture that fall under it is the fortified shield with which any nation can overcome all the difficulties that stand in the way of its unity. <br />Our national awakening in the modern era was able to reach our nation with what it had during its glorious days and forbade it. <br />One of the reasons for the breakthrough of our crisis at the beginning of this century was that we were able to unite through our national awakening, and this century has barely gone beyond its first half until the features of this awakening became clear to confirm its support for the reality of the Arab nation, to rise in its condition and strengthen its strength. <br />Perhaps the dimensions that the researcher was able to sense in this awakening are based on three issues: <br />The first: the Arabic language as a factor on which the common sentiment of the nation meets, as it is a means of understanding and communication on the one hand, as it connects what has been cut off from the nation’s reality with its common past and its glorious history. <br />And the second: the emergence of a national concept that unites the children of a single nation, unifies its hopes and draws the lines for its future. <br />As for the third issue, it is the embodiment of modern Arabic poetry, the implications of this awakening and it is represented by three dimensions: <br />The past: represented by singing glories and heroism and pride in history and civilization, as these contents have always been motivations and advancement. <br />And the present: It is represented in the restoration of our holy land in Palestine, the fight against tyranny and the resistance to colonialism, as it is represented in the call for familiarity and praise of revolutions. <br />These are topics that our poets are still very preoccupied with, and then they are still living them as a passing reality that stimulates the tyranny of national sentiments and derives its ideas and meanings from this reality. And finally: the future: is the safety of the nation’s children in liberation and unity. Within these three issues, the researcher can put his hand on the manifestations of national awakening represented by the past, the present and the future. |
