Phenomenology of the Transcendental Experience of Na¢t

Abstract

Poetry emanates from a creative mind totally absorbed in conceiving a theme emotionally, intellectually and imaginatively contriving eloquence and linguistic dynamism through a transcendent phenomenon transpiring in tranquility. Fervent love for the Messenger of Allah and the spirituality overwhelming the creative psyche generates theme, lexical activity and articulacy involving imaginative lingual expression and ignites poetic aesthetics. This becomes a transcendental experience beyond ones activated soul. The Na¢t poetry created to extol the Holy Prophet is such a transcendental experience that takes on creative souls to experience ecstasy of aesthetic expression of Prophetic love. That is the theme this paper proves.
