Abstract

Imam Hussein is the myth of humanity. Throughout history, poets have reached the dimensions of his existence from an epistemological perspective, and in addition to epic martial, tragic, and mystical discourses, they have referred to him as a historical religious model and the flag bearer of a great movement. The present article is considered as a conceptual-analytical method based on the theory of conceptual metaphor and the character of Imam in contemporary Arabic poetry with prominent examples and with the study of "Return to Karba" by Ahmad Dahbour, also the poems of "Mirrors" "The mirror of the head" "Witness mirror " "Hussein Mosqe" has reached. The purpose of this study is to express the point that contemporary poets, using metaphorical language techniques, have evoked the character of Imam Hussein from the text of history and religion, from a brazier in its shadow, to the efforts of repressive and authoritarian powers. The world, especially the Arab world, is conquered and from another perspective, Imam Hussein is presented as a dynamic and present being in connection with the current issues of the world. The result of the writing, which is derived from the reciprocal correspondence between the personality of Imam Hussein and contemporary man, is that the only way for man to change the adverse conditions of the world and protect his membership against all kinds of aggression by world governments is to establish the personality of Imam Hussein and rebellion against falsehood and martyrdom in the right way.
