The Problem of the Term & the Definition in the Islamic Literature Asst. Prof. Dr. Abdul Kareem Ahmed Aasi al-Mahmood University of Kufa/ College of Jurisprudence Department of the Arabic Language Abstract: Several opinions concerning the Islamic literature term. Some of which are acceptable and others are rejected, but the researcher proposes some of which alternative terms like Literature of the Islamic Peoples or The Muslim Literature or Islamation or Islamic Realism or the Islamic Criteria etc. Some of the Islamic critics have discussed the matter of those alternative terms and found them less than what is needed for the profound meditative awareness of the privacy of the term Islamic Literature with its accuracy and honest representation of its idealistic content. The existence of other types (non-Islamic) made those critics decide some distinctive features for the literature through which its position can be decided. Hence, some of them defined three literary rules for deciding the concept of Islamic literature and that of the anti-Islamic idealism literature. Others suggested the term Human Literature or the Literature of the Implied dimensions for the product of the non-Muslims writers. But, and in spite of the attempts to bridge the gap, the term of Islamic literature have settled on its traditional concept committed to Islam, in fact, it became deeply rooted in our contemporary literature and a constant truth in our literary reality. Consequently, ignorance became the only end for the rigid writings opposing Islam. Even though the relation between the philosophical and literary schools to which it belongs seems to be a little bit shaky or contradictory, but the relation of Islamic literature with its legitimate father, Islam, is strong bond that cannot be separated.
