The Aesthetics in the Poems of Patience of Imam Shafi’i Rahimahullah

Abstract

Aesthetics is regarded as the finest value in a piece of literature that is not only measured through its explicit expressions, but also includes the implicit expressions. Each element involved that makes the literature so artistic is bonded to each other to explain the purpose intended. Therefore, the study of Imam Shafi’i poetry was carried out to show these elements. This matter is important because Imam Shafi’iis a knowledgeable icon that dominated the field of fiqh (Jurisprudence) and poetry. However, majority of people know him as a faqih (Jurist) rather than a poet, but in fact, Arabic literature is one of the areas mastered by him. His skills in the field of Arabic language were and are also recognised by the scholars of the past and the present, respectively. This study used qualitative methods to make a content analysis study design. Data were collected from poem verses related with patience, then these data were subsequently analysed from the perspective of their aesthetics. The results showed that the background and life experience of Imam Shafi’iwere closely related to the aesthetics in his poetry. He also used expressions that are characterised as balaghah (Eloquence), such as taqdim (Putting forward), ta’khir (Delaying), majaz (Figurative speech), and ijaz (concise), which reinforced the aesthetic values.
