اتخذ الرثاءُ في العصرِ الجاهليِّ شكلًا خاصًّا، نظرًا لتلك الحياةِ التي كانوا في كنفِها وتلك المعتقداتِ التي ظلَّتْ عالقةً في أذهانِهم وعدمِ إيمانِهم بفكرةِ الموتِ والبعثِ، فكانت قصيدةُ الرثاءِ عندهم مختلفةً عن قصيدةِ الرثاءِ في عصرِ صدرِ الإسلامِ، حيثُ اتخذَ الندبُ والتأبينُ والبكاءُ شكلًا مختلفًا في الجاهليةِ عمَّا جاءَ في صدرِ الإسلام، فجاء الإسلامُ وهذَّب تلك المعتقداتِ وما كان يحدث في الجاهلية، فهناك بعضُ العاداتِ التي هذبها الإسلامُ وأخرى ظلتْ كما هي لتناسبَها مع مبادئِ الدينِ الإسلاميِّ الجديدِ والنفسِ الإنسانيةِ وهناك ما محاهُ الإسلامُ لترسيخ مبادئِه الجديدةِ التي تحفظُ كرامةَ الإنسانِ وتليق به.
Abstract
Women's performance between the pre-Islamic era and the early Islamic era
Elegy in the pre-Islamic era took a special form, due to the life they lived in and the beliefs that remained stuck in their minds and their lack of belief in the idea of death and resurrection. Their elegy poem was different from the elegy poem in the early Islamic era, where lamentation, eulogy and crying took a different form in the pre-Islamic era than what came in the early Islamic era. Islam came and refined those beliefs and what was happening in the pre-Islamic era. There are some customs that Islam refined and others that remained as they were due to their compatibility with the principles of the new Islamic religion and the human soul. There are also those that Islam erased to establish its new principles that preserve human dignity and are appropriate for it.
