Issues in the Poetry of the Companions that Indicate the Reverence for and Defense of the Creed

Abstract

The research showcases the significant role played by the noble companions' poets (may Allah be pleased with them) in glorifying and spreading the Islamic faith, defending the Islamic message and its Prophet (peace be upon him), responding to the polytheists and their mockery, encouraging the virtue of jihad in the name of Allah and mourning the martyrs. The poetry of the companions played an important role in highlighting the Islamic message and defending Islam and the Prophet (peace be upon him) at a time when the polytheists were waging war against Islam with both words and weapons. The study consists of an introductory section followed by two main topics. The first topic addresses the glorification of the faith, its dissemination, and the call to it, while the second topic focuses on the subject of jihad and the defense of the faith in the early period of Islam. The research concludes with findings that clarify the significance of the poetry of the companions in supporting Islam, relying on credible sources and references.
