Notes
Various reactions emerged among intellectual, political, and civilizational groups. These reactions appeared in Iranian literature, especially poetry, as a result of World War I. Among the poets who emerged in this era was Sayyid Ahmad ibn Shihab al-Din al-Radawi, known as the Peshawari writer who was most concerned with this war. In this research, we will discuss the topic of World War I in the Arabic poems of the Peshawari writer and his opinions about this war and its repercussions in Iran in particular, and the East and the Islamic world in general. This study reached results, the most important of which are: Despite the occupation of Iran by the Ottomans united with the Germans; But the Peshawari writer did not mention this matter in his poems and merely mentioned the attack on Iran by the Russian and British countries, due to his bias towards the Germans at that time. The Peshawari writer depicts the turbulent conditions in Iran during the First World War in the poem in which he curses Akhund Khorasani, as if he intended to say that had it not been for Akhund Khorasani’s protection of the constitutional revolution, Iran would not have reached that turbulent state. WWI was met with different reactions among intellectual, cultural and political factions in Iran and this was reflected significantly in Iranian literature especially poetry. Among the poets of this period Sayyed Ahmed Ibn Shahab Aldin Radawi, known as Aladib Albishawari, has paid the most attention to this war. In the present study, we examine the theme of WWI in his Arabic poetry and its consequences for Iran in particular and the East and Islam in general. The most important results of this study are the following: even though Ottoman forces which were allied with Germany occupied Iran and Aladib Albishawari was a supporter of Germany at that time; he has made no mention of this fact in his Arabic poetry and only mentions the occupation of Iran by Russia and England. In an ode, in which he has cursed al-Akhund al-Khorasani, he has mentioned the chaotic atmosphere of Iran during WWI; as if he wanted to convey that if it was not for his support of the Constitutional Revolution, there would not be this much chaos in Iran. Key Words: Iran, Qajar, Arabic poetry, Aladib Albishavari, WWI.
