Read More The colonial powers defined, defined, and narrated the nature of the colonial countries, that is, “the other,” according to their cognitive system and in service of their colonial goals. The novel "Shouq Al-Darwish" narrates how the colonizer rose to be the final giver of meanings, purposes, and legitimacy, and this resulted in falsifying the historical path of the indigenous groups. The novel was full of religious symbols that fit the historical background of the events, a struggle between the Islamic Mahdist trend and the Orthodox Christian trend in Sudan. In this research, we aim, with a descriptive-analytical approach, to identify how the novel provides an insightful reading of part of the history of the Mahdist Revolution, through which the balance of central hegemony is tipped in favor of reality, in light of the colonial attempts that rendered the indigenous peoples inert and referred to only as categories that must be erased. Its cultures. The conditions of the colonial countries were represented in vague, primitive images, separating them from their culture and making them imagine that breaking with it would lead them to modernity. This novel describes how the East lived under the preoccupation of anxiety, fragility, and confusion regarding its authorities, as it had no choice but to follow the Western other, especially in the main character, “Bakhit Mendil,” as he found himself in specific frameworks that did not allow him global integration and did not allow him to develop his own identity. Among the mechanisms that the novel came up with to present this image is to represent the religious-historical interrelationship from an important angle. This is because history is described as a final, fixed substance that cannot be touched upon. However, the novel, as a text based on imagination, made history the subject of questioning and cast a shadow of doubt on the history that The "Mahdist Revolution" was described as a bloody and subversive movement

Read More Cognitive metaphor is considered one of the modern topics in linguistics, and its theorists, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, took it from its linguistic framework to the conceptual cognitive field, so that it is considered present in aspects of “mental thinking” in all areas of ordinary life. Lakoff and Johnson believe that metaphor is not for decoration or embellishment Or a linguistic phenomenon related to the language of poetry, but rather an intellectual phenomenon that is related to our conceptual system, inherent in the ordinary life that we live, because we hardly realize it most of the time, and that an important part of our emotions, behavior, and experiences is metaphorical in nature. One of the most important buildings of this theory is the concept of “conceptual schemes,” which is a mental phenomenon that enables many intellectual experiences and basic concepts to be understood, such as trust in God, feelings of sin, shame, submission, and reassurance, and then tangible experiences through metaphor. The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyah played an important role in employing metaphor, due to its openness to an infinite process, which produces a diverse interpretive chain. Hence, the interpretation of the metaphor varies according to the cognitive contents from which the reader starts, so supplications play a central role through latent interaction. The article was subjected to some reading. Conceptual diagrams of ontological metaphors and their analysis in Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya in light of Lakoff and Johnson’s theory to clarify the implicit and aesthetic connotations, which explain to the recipient how he obtains religious experiences, relying this on the descriptive analytical approach, from which it is deduced that the Qur’anic concepts in the culture of imams are metaphorical, and material experiences are like containment. Balance and others constitute the core of the concepts adopted by the Imam, revealing the extent to which his moral philosophy is embodied. This is because transferring abstractions from the realm of non-existence to the realm of existence and being is easier to understand, and closer to realization, as it gives society an awareness of what Imam Al-Sajadi is heading in doctrine and culture, in addition to Expanding understanding
