The book "The Ten Mu'allaqat and Their Poets" takes us on a journey to the pinnacle of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, shedding light on these unique poems that attained such eloquence and rhetoric that Arabs hung them on the curtains of the Kaaba in appreciation of their artistic and linguistic value. Author Raafat Allam does not content himself with simply presenting the texts of the Mu'allaqat, but rather provides comprehensive explanations of their strange words and rhetorical images, revealing the secrets of their artistic beauty. This is preceded by extensive biographies of the poets of the ten Mu'allaqat, covering their lineages, their stories, and their status in pre-Islamic society, in addition to their anecdotes and their relationship with the myths and poetic demons who are said to have inspired these immortal masterpieces. The book combines literary criticism and analysis with historical narration, presenting the reader with a comprehensive picture of the greatest Arab creations in pre-Islamic poetry, and of those poets who transformed the word into an immortal verse that enchants minds and captivates hearts.
