قراءة في كتاب البشير الابراهيمي أدبيا لمحمد عباس

Abstract

This study examines Mohamed Abbas’s book entitled Al- Bashir Al-Ibrahimi as a Literary Writer, focusing on the literary and artistic aspects of Sheikh Mohamed Al-Bashir Al-Ibrahimi’s personality and highlighting his position in modern Algerian literature. The research is based on a central question concerning the extent to which Mohamed Abbas succeeded in highlighting the literary dimension of Al-Ibrahimi’s personality, identifying the main characteristics of his literary writings, ملخص 66 and examining the critical approach adopted by the author. The study relies on the descriptive method and consists of three chapters. The first chapter presents the theoretical and introductory framework by discussing Al-Ibrahimi’s life, upbringing, reformist role, and literary position, as well as introducing Mohamed Abbas and his book. The second chapter examines the literary features of Al-Ibrahimi’s writings through the study of political and social essays and several stylistic and rhetorical characteristics, including the rhetorical tendency, rhyme, irony, satire, and the use of Arab-Islamic heritage. The third chapter focuses on the critical value of the book by highlighting its strengths, particularly its attention to the literary dimension, documentation of Al- Ibrahimi’s texts, and connection between literature, reform, and politics, while also identifying some limitations, such as the dominance of descriptive and traditional rhetorical analysis, the limited use of modern critical approaches, and the lack of comparison with other writers. The study concludes that Al-Bashir Al-Ibrahimi as a Literary Writer represents an important foundational study that contributed to presenting Al-Ibrahimi as a literary writer alongside his roles as a scholar and reformer, revealing the interaction between literature, reform, and politics in his writings and opening the way for further studies using stylistic, pragmatic, argumentative, and comparative approaches.
