BETWEEN THE SA’ALIK AND THE EARLY MUSLIMS: A JAMESONIAN READING ON LAMIYYAT AL-ARAB

<p align="justify">This article aims to propose a possible answer to the curious case of the popularity of <em>Lamiyyat al-Arab </em>as a means of education among Muslim leaders during the Umayyad era. The curiosity lies in the fact that <em>Lamiyyat al-Arab </em>is attributed to al-Shanfara, who was reportedly a <em>su’luk</em>, an outcast in the society who was also known as a brigand poet. To answer the curiosity, I conducted a literature review on who the <em>sa’alik</em> are and how they share some vision with early Muslims. This exploration makes up the first part of the essay. The second half of the essay is a textual interpretation on <em>Lamiyyat al-Arab</em> guided by the three horizons of interpretation as proposed by Fredric Jameson. Looking at three different horizons of meaning, textual, social, and historical, I strongly hope that the interpretation offer a glimpse into the desire for change that the poem shares with the early Muslims. This constitutes as a possible answer to the curious popularity of the pre-Islamic poem among early Muslims. </p>
