Abstract

Objectives: The research aims to explain the role played by the intellectual movement in Maarat al-Numan, explaining historical and geographical information about this important city in the Levant, and then mentioning the most prominent poets who became famous and whose poetry spread throughout the Islamic Arab country . Methodology: The descriptive analytical approach was followed in writing this research, which is based on analyzing the historical narrative collected from the sources of general history books and biographies, and then linking it to historical events. Results: The study concluded that the city of Maarat al-Numan is a city with a distinct historical and intellectual influence that was the focus of competitors’ ambitions. Its role has emerged in many fields, most notably the poetry movement, as poets whose names and poetry collections have been immortalized in various fields have emerged there . Conclusion: The historical and intellectual role of Maarat al-Numan has emerged since the Arab-Islamic liberation of it in the year (15 AH/636 AD) during the era of the Rashidun Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him). After the liberation, that city was exposed to a series of various historical incidents that contributed to its burning and the destruction of its heritage. A generation of poets composed poems against the aggressors of their city as an intellectual movement that became a prominent title for that city, as well as different colors of poetry.
