Arabic Paper 2 Nov/Dec 2015

Part II Question 4

Talk on what led to the composition of adh-Dhikru ad-Dā’im (Perpetual Remembrance) by Khansa’i and buttress your answer with two of his poetical lines.

Observation

Those who answered this question performed below average because they misinterpreted the question. Their understanding of “Perpetual Remembrance” as the title of the poem was taken for continuous remembrance of Allah. This, of course, was completely out of content as the remembrance referred to in the poem was that of the poet’s late brother.
