Abstract

The Islamic religion affected much all the ways of life, the levels of society as well as the man in general. Beside its affection on the ways of life in the pre-Islamic period. Therefore hn this research I concentrated on the influence of Islam on the Arabic poetry in general, and the elegies of sons in particular. The study tackled that type of poetry in both periods, the Beginning of Islam', and "Alamany" Reviod, Becanse the second was the continuation of the first one. And the cause behind such a topic is to reveal what elegies, and especially the elegies of sons could provoke inside human being. Through those elegies the sons managed to express their own innerconflect, their suffering, pain, and sumpathy with those fathers whon lost their sons. Inaddition that type of poetry contains a stream of a true sympathy of those sons toward the lossing fathers who were suffering from absence of their own sons. Not to forget the principles that Islam emphasized on about the rights of fathers, and their treat ment to their sons. Finally there is a reference to a comparative study of the different images within the pre-Islamic period.
