The epic of al-Dad
“The epic of al-Dad”
The play discusses some of the problems that have occurred in the formal Arabic language, such as the conflict between classical Arabic and the difference in dialects used by Arabs. The face of the conflict is the nature of thinking and how the colloquial dialect is superficial in thinking and does not require much effort, while classical Arabic is deeper in thinking and more meaningful. Another problem is the introduction of a group of foreign words and terms into the Arabic language.
The hero of the play tries to show that the difficult methods of teaching the Arabic language are the reason behind its lack of use and the reluctance of young people to learn it and their lack of interest in the formal Arabic language, the point where they have become like long, useless nails and the time has come to scrutinize them.
In the end, the hero gives energy of hope that the only conviction is that the Arabic language is the best dress and that it is beautiful in all its meanings because it is the language of the Holy Quran. It is firmly rooted on earth, and the West is now trying to learn it and borrow from it in a large way.
