Abu Abdullah Mohammad Ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi was born at Khawarizm (Kheva), south of Aral sea. Very little is known about his early life, except for the fact that his parents had migrated to a place south of Baghdad. The exact dates of his birth and death are also not known, but it is established that he flourished under Al- Mamun at Baghdad through 813-833 and probably died around 840 A.D. Khawarizmi was a mathematician, astronomer and geographer. He was perhaps one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived, as, in fact, he was the founder of several branches and basic concepts of mathematics. He influenced mathematical thought to a greater extent than any other mediaeval writer. His work on algebra was outstanding, as he not only initiated the subject in a systematic form but he also developed it to the extent of giving analytical solutions of linear and quadratic equations, which established him as the founder of Algebra. The very name Algebra has been derived from his famous book Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah. His arithmetic synthesised Greek and Hindu knowledge and also contained his own contribution of fundamental importance to mathematics and science. Thus, he explained the use of zero, a numeral of fundamental importance developed by the Arabs. Similarly, he developed the decimal system so that the overall system of numerals, 'algorithm' or 'algorizm' is named after him. In addition to introducing the Indian system of numerals (now generally known as Arabic numerals), he developed at length several arithmetical procedures, including operations on fractions. It was through his work that the system of numerals was first introduced to Arabs and later to Europe, through its translations in European languages. He developed in detail trigonometric tables containing the sine functions, which were probably extrapolated to tangent functions by Maslama. He also perfected the geometric representation of conic sections and developed the calculus of two errors, which practically led him to the concept of differentiation. He is also reported to have collaborated in the degree measurements ordered by Mamun al-Rashid which were aimed at measuring the volume and circumference of the earth.

The subject of the martyrdom and the martyr didn't develop and didn't become of various kinds, unless in the modern age and of course, after the wars had occurred in Arabic countries and after revolutions had taken place and after the moslem champions had sacrificed themselves to Allah and home country. so that, we see poets everyday that they cooperate with these champions in these revolutions and sacrifices with their poetic art; such as :Imaging and symbolizing and inspiring and conversing and etc. and by making fir of battle in Revolutionists’ heart for Revenging on injustice and insurrection and by immortalizing their heroisms and memoirs and transmit them to the living persons to become an active and agentive power for them. Therefore, the human smell of the martyrdom spreads everyday from poetry of these poets, whom any one of them pay attending to this subject from special Angle and create beautiful poetic tableaus and pictures of these martyrs which contain their histories and events. Thereupon we observe the martyr that he appears in these pictures as shinier Star or inspiring reformer or symbol of constancy in momentous affairs of native country or living person who doesn’t deserve an elegy to be composed for, or …

The glorious prophetic parables, as part of the Islamic parables, contain the expressions so impressive and delightful that indicate the splendid eloquence of the blessed Prophet. These parables _ which have strong context, novel concept, and firm style, and originated from a dynamic and profound thought and have many advantages _ indicate that the blessed Prophet spoke in perfect eloquence and stated the prominent concepts with short statements so that no Arab could compete with him in speech. The words he used in his speech are as beautiful as the meanings, and on the contrary, the meanings are in perfect agreement with the words; besides, the combination of the words he used is so beautiful as if his speech is like a nifty and charming necklace.
The pivotal discussions of this article are as follows: Prophetic parables, their distinguished eloquent features, and their impact on Arabic poetry. The author of this article, at first, discusses about the prophetic eloquence and the superiority of the Prophet’s splendid parables to the common parables in Arabic language and other languages; then he introduces some of the Muslim scholars’ works written about prophetic parables; and, at last, he discusses about some selected parables that Arab poets used them in their poems and composed the poems under the in fluence of the prophetic eloquence which are the symbol of goodness, guidance, and faithfulness.
