Folkloric in Badiozamaniʹs Works

Maqameh is one of the common forms of expressions in the Arabic literature for which Badi-o-zaman Hamedani provided a solid structure which was one of those highly appreciated forms of expressions in those days and a large number of writers followed Badi-o-zaman in their works. Unfortunately, however, it is not manifested in the folkloric works. The present paper will deal with culture, literature, and thoughts, which together constituted most of Badi-o-zamanʹs works, for it is believed that since he mainly probes into the social and cultural issues, it can easily attract the attention of the reader and highly persuades him to do further research.
