Arabic literature emerged in the 5th century with only fragments of the written language appearing before then. The Qur'an, widely regarded as the finest piece of literature work in the Arabic language, would have the greatest lasting effect on Arabic culture and its literature. Arabic literature flourished during the Islamic Golden Age, but has remained vibrant to the present day, with poets and prose-writers across the Arab world achieving increasing success.

  • —Excerpt from Francis Marrash's Mashhad al-ahwal , translated by Shmuel Moreh.
Quote
  • Mention no longer the driver on his night journey and the wide striding camels, and give up talk of morning dew and ruins.
  • I no longer have any taste for love songs on dwellings which already went down in seas of [too many] odes.
  • If a steamer leaves with my friends on sea or land, why should I direct my complaints to the camels?
  • So, too, the ghada, whose fire, fanned by the sighs of those enamored of it, cries out to the poets: "Alas for my burning!"
