Abstract

The present study tackles the definition of identity in that it is hardly confined to a specific angle that defines the horizons of its competence or crystallizes it under a specific scientific curriculum because of its plurality and the large number of meanings associated with it which restricts its direction. There is the philosophical identity, the individual identity, and the social identity. Identity represents belonging, holiness, and power because of its moral and material importance within the pre-Islamic society. Without it, a person becomes an outcast and cannot marry as he wants. The present study is divided into two sections. Section one tackles the identity of the distinctive definition through the name of the poet, his father, and some members of his family. Section two tackles the poet's identity through the place or space in which he lived. The study is concluded with a conclusion that represents the important findings in terms of scientific and literary knowledge.
