The impact of the Caliphs the first era of the Abbasid Caliphate in the poetry of asceticism

Abstract

This ascetic movement does not need to be complicated in its interpretation. Rather, it is the type of people’s disparity in accepting the teachings of Heaven. We cannot say that people accepting preaching and advising in defamation of this world takes place uniformly, but it varies from one soul to another. Those ascetics heard the preaching and preached, while others did not, and this is normal and may happen whether it is found in a good society or a society full of corrupt people. The forgetful face was not the only one in the square in the days of the Abbasids. The society in the first era of the Abbasid Caliphate also contained many pious, ascetic and righteous people, preachers and jurists who did not fear in God any blame. The tendency of the Caliphs to the poetry of asceticism and their listening to a lot of it, left them with an ascetic sense, and it is permissible to consider some of the Caliphs of the first era of the Abbasid Caliphate as participants of ascetic poets in their asceticism and speak constantly of ascetic poetry in which delved into souls of some of them, and came out art and fine literature.
