قناع الحسين بن منصور الحلاّج في الشّعر العربي الحديث

Abstract

Throughout the various ages the figure of Al-Husain Ben Mansūr Al-Ḥallāj (858-922) has represented the acme of true Sufi love. His history featuring great sacrifice made him a unique character who challenged social codes and supported the cause of the poor, the needy and the crowds of believers. Unlike the majority of Sufi figures who confined themselves to their hermitages away from all types of social norms, Al-Ḥallāj was open to his social environment, condemned solitude and all claims to complete priesthood and worship. He led a normal life manifested in going to markets and mosques and meeting with people from all social strata.
