AL–ADAB AL-SAGHIR AND AL- ADAB AL-KABIR
Keywords: adab, Ibn Al- Muqafa‘a, ethical system, Al-Adab Al- Saghir, AlAdab Al- Kabir, knowledge
Abstract: The mid-eight century appears as an important milestone in
the history of Arab-Muslim Caliphate with the radical change and
development in Arab-Muslim culture. The expansion of the Caliphate
borders resulted in the formation of a new military-political and socioeconomic system of the Arab-Muslim caliphate under the dominant
ideology of Islam. The great conquests brought to the social and cultural
evolution of Arabs. Communication with the population of the conquered
non-Arab and non-Muslim states and the cultural assimilation resulted in
formation of a certain value system in Islam. In this process, the merging of
different values had created a common system of conduct within the
Muslim community. These were the pre-Islamic values and customs,
Quranic teachings, behaviors of the Prophet and his companions, the
Persian and Greek model of moral perfection, and various strands of culture
from population of the conquered states.
Abdallah ibn Al-Muqafa’a was the pioneer in the process of formation
of new cultural values and ethical norms needed for the new multi-ethnic
state. This article is an attempt to illustrate Ibn ‘Al- Muqafa‘a’s system of
ethics and its role in the formation of new cultural values and ethical norms
in the context of historical and socio-cultural developments in the second
half of eight century in the Arab-Muslim Caliphate. Based on content and
textual analysis of “Al-Adab Al- Saghir” and “Al-Adab Al- Kabir” we try
to reveal the main concepts of the ethical system of Ibn Al- Muqafa‘a.
