Abstract
The poetic image is considered an essential pillar of the literary work, and a very important structural element for studying the essence of the poetic text. It is the most prominent tool that enables the critic to explore the poet’s experience and psychological formation, and a standard for measuring his talent and judging him. It has received the attention of critics and scholars, and received a wide range of controversy. And research, with its flexible nature, interconnected connections, and the multiplicity and diversity of its descriptive structures. Metaphor is one of the most prominent mechanisms for creating the poetic image, and the formal means that almost all critics agree upon, including the ancient Arab critics, who celebrated the poetic image and linked it to rhetorical colors. Our research, titled (The aesthetics of the metaphorical image of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, in Andalusian literature - the Almohad era as a model), attempts, based on the descriptive-analytical approach, to clarify the features of the metaphorical image embodied by the poets of the Almohad era of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) in their poetry, such as Ibn al-Abar al-Qadha’i. And Abu Al-Bahr Safwan Al-Mursi Al-Tajibi, Hazem Al-Qartajani, Ahmad bin Shakil Al-Andalusi, Nahed bin Muhammad Al-Andalusi, Abu Al-Abbas Al-Jarawi, and Abu Al-Baqa Al-Randi, and the places where we see the poets of the Almohad era relying on metaphor in embodying the image of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), as a literary artefact that represents The image plays its role. The results indicated that Andalusian literature was not purely Umayyad, but rather a part of it was committed Shiite literature, and the throats of the poets of the Almohad era began to chant with praise and lamentation for the family of the Prophet and Imam Hussein, and the Husseini issue became one of the most powerful and present phenomena of Shiism in Andalusia, and it was noted that most poets relied on images. The metaphors in their poems, and most of the images were similar in terms of meaning and concept, aimed at crying, drawing tears, and commemorating Ashura.
