The Civilization’s Manifestations in Pre-Islamic Poetry: The Seven Odes "Moa'llaqat" as A Model

This study attempts to trace some evidences of ancient Arabic civilization, as appears in Pre-Islamic Arabic Poetry.  One of the most popular and renowned poetical works in that period is the "Moa'llaqat" which are seven long famous poems demonstrated on al-Kaaba; the scholar found this collection appropriate for this study, since they are well authentic and were transmitted orally across generations. They also portray many elements of the Arab culture, knowledge, believes and life system.
The study concluded that the Arabs in Pre-Islamic period had their own human values, such as justice, sacrifice, respect of elderly, respect of women, caring of poor and seeking peace. It reveals also that the Arabs knew different elements of material civilization, such as architecture, agriculture, industry, medicine etc…
The scholar believes that the Arab mastering of a most accurate and well-constructed language of Arabic, indicates that they maintained a very deep and constructive way of thinking, which he considers a first and most important condition for human civilization.
