Abstract

This research deals with the image of the Ahl al-Bayt as it appeared in the works of one of the poets who devoted their attention to tracing their lives and deeds, namely the poet Abdul-Hussein al-Janabi..Al-Janabi is one of the poets who lived near Karbala, and he paid special attention to depicting the tribulations and suffering of the pure Ahl al-Bayt, expressing this in a passionate and dedicated style in writing about them. Modern Iraqi poetry has been a unique platform for addressing distinctive poetic themes, especially in praising and mourning the family of the Prophet.(APeace be upon them,Achieving accomplishments that poetry has not reached throughout the ages.When we review the most wonderful works written in praise of the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's Household), we find that Iraqi poetry has stood out and displayed its enduring beauty throughout time. However, this poetry began to take a new turn with the Karbala incident, which marked a historical turning point, the effects of which continue to this day. This shift introduced a broader artistic and creative dimension, through profound artistic impressions that have come to characterize the Iraqi literary imagination. Iraq's geographical proximity to the sites of historical events, such as the Karbala incident and the martyrdom of the Commander of the Faithful in Kufa, contributed to strengthening the tragic element in Iraqi poetry. This proximity enabled poets to evoke the details of the tragedy and express it in a style brimming with creativity and distinction, earning Iraqi poetry a prominent position in documenting events and highlighting their human and tragic dimensions. From another perspective, the injustice practiced by some caliphs during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras against the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's Household) was sufficient to stir the emotions and pens of poets, prompting them to document this suffering with the utmost passion and sensitivity. In this research, we shed light on the image of the Ahl al-Bayt as it appeared in the works of one of the poets who excelled in dealing with their biography, namely the poet Abdul Hussein.,Al-Janabi was one of the poets who lived near Karbala, and one of those who took a great interest in highlighting the issues of the pure Ahl al-Bayt, presenting works full of passion and emotion towards those great figures and the meanings that their biographies carried..
