Islamic theory in literary criticism in the face of Western theories

Abstract

For a period of time, the Arab critical arena fell under the control of a number of Western critical approaches interested in studying literary texts, despite their backgrounds that were not in line with our faith.
Hence, this study aims to reveal the reality of literary criticism in light of Islamic theory and highlight its
most important pillars. One of the most important results reached was that the openness of Islamic criticism
to developments in the Western monetary arena is imperative, with the necessity of not being led by
manifestations of corruption and polytheism, which are not consistent with Islam.
