Evaluation and critique of textbooks to make changes in the field of education are inevitable in order to help the owners of scientific works to improve their shortcomings. Accordingly, the present paper criticizes the book "Types of Arabic Poetry and Its Evolution", by Khalil Parvini and Seyyed Fazlullah Ghaderi, from two aspects of form and content to explain its strengths and weaknesses. One of the most important benefits of this work is the novelty of the design and the manner of operation and the presentation of research topics. The most important disadvantages, however, include abundance of writing, non-compliance with the style of the Persian literary academy, and lack of font and layout of the book which should be reviewed and revised. In terms of content, there are also many problems, including lack of coherence in some topics from the perspective of the research method, lack of observance of the logical sequence in the content, lack of consideration of the evolution of issues in some historical periods, including the Andalusian period, and lack of primary references.

In this short paper, we have examined the content of the article in a descriptive-analytical manner and highlighted its strengths and deficiencies in order to reconsider this critique.

Abdul Malik Mortaz, Algerian scholar, is one of the few scholars, trying to organize the discourse of contemporary criticism Arabic and creating its structure based on the valuable heritage of ancient Arabic critique. Without narrative, it is impossible to understand a large part of Arabic prose today; therefore, it is important to achieve an educational book that has a systematic approach. The publication of the book “In the Theory of the Novel” in 1998, was a profound exploration of narrative techniques that showed a new and harmonious way in the theory and analysis of story discourse, with a critical view of Western narrative theory, for analyzing the underlying foundations of the story, and based on the ancient heritage of the Arabic story.

The works written about Andalusia literature are of two types. The former has general information and includes the entrance of Umayyad’s into Andalusia to the extinction of Islamic state in this land that pays attention to the political, social, economic, and cultural situations as well as poetry and prose and new techniques such as acrostic and Zajal. The second way is to look at the issue from a specialized point of view. For example, it pays close attention to the Andalusia poetry or prose in the certain period, so “Andalusian Poetry during Movahedin” by Fawzi Issa belongs to this category. The results of the present study revealed that the book has some positive points, including scientific and impartial criticism of other scholars’ opinions, and citing and documenting others to prove his claims. Yet, it is suffers from lack of precedent in recorded references, inaccuracy in some quotes, omehow promiscuity, no formatting on poetry and proper nouns, not having an adequate description of the difficult words and lack of logical sequence of topics in some sections.

Using a series of criteria, literary criticism is concerned with the study of literary works from the start explaining the works, their elements and concepts, and clarifying their weaknesses and strengths; ultimately, it helps to improve the quality of the work. These attempts of division of critical theories under literary doctrines can be considered as good examples, and the book "Approach of Realism in Literary Creativity" by Salah Fadl fits the critique in this model. This research attempts to answer a fundamental dilemma: To what extent did this book succeed in completing the explanation of status and criticism of the realist doctrine? The analytical methodological method shows that the book has had great success in explaining the reality theories, whether in form or content, although there are some shortcomings such as the lack of concrete and tangible evidence in the literary texts.

Critical analysis increases the efficiency of considered text in different aspects. They reveal positive and negative features of the text. Rhetoric books are no exception from this evaluation. Evaluating rhetoric books is important due to two points: Enhancing/Improving quality of educational rhetoric books and finding modern rhetoric viewpoints and comparing them with other rhetoric results. The purpose of this article is to evaluate lessons of Arabic rhetoric toward a new idea from two perspectives: Efficiency level in rhetoric as well academic education. The method of analysis is analytic and descriptive. The paper aims to analyze the positive and negative aspects of the book by first reporting the context of the book. In addition, it aims to show AlAzhar’s book view for academic tuition all over the world. The results of this research show the book "Lessons of Arabic Rhetoric toward a New Idea", has compounded classic rhetoric with modern masterful rhetoric discovery. However, the frame of the book turns around classic rhetoric. This book can be taught in basic levels (BA) as a main source and in high levels (MA) as a derivative source. Although the writer has done his best, he has not paid attention to some classic rhetoric discussions.

The translation critique has its place in the scientific community in our contemporary world, since the correct criticism corrects and revises the translation and makes a clear mirror for the translator to see the pros and cons of his work, Because of this place, the present paper seeks to provide a critical analysis of Sayyed Hosein Sayyedis translation Entitled ““Contemporary Arabic Poetry, Its Issues and Its Artistic and Moral Phenomena” that is compiled by “Ezzoddin Ismaeil”. This critical analysis is based on the descriptive analytical approach, divided into two parts, a section dealing with content, and we are concerned in this section with the original text because the translation did not benefit us, and the other section deals with how to translate in terms of meaning and structure. The results of this research show that the issues of the book are both comprehensive and fresh book although it was published years ago. Besides, it has some flaws in the research methodology. Additionally, in terms of translation, the book is full of translation errors and semantic errors, especially in the translation of poems.

During the recent years, many studies have been conducted on the reformist attempts, and some scientists have played a key role in this field. One of these scientists is Tammam Hassan who has presented his reformist opinion in his popular book named “Meaning and Basis of Arabic Words”. In the fifth chapter of this book, Tammam Hassan has explained about vocabulary and spiritual symbols and role in understanding the meaning. Moreover, he considers eight vocabulary symbols and nine spiritual symbols and explains the effect of each of them in understanding the meaning. Introducing correlation of symbols’ theory, this article aims to investigate the dimensions of this theory and review the effect of this theory in understanding the meaning. Results of research show that this theory is capable to review different texts and allow researchers to have comprehensive view toward text and get the meaning of that by vocabulary and spiritual symbols.

One of the most importing factors in teaching Arabic Language for non- Arabic speakers; is choosing a text book. Actually, a textbook is considered as a book that involves academic contents. Hence, authors and experts believe that the selected textbook should involve the features of a good quality book. On the other hand, most organizations and institutes demand the necessity of compiling a good Arabic textbook due to the lack of appropriate textbook in teaching Arabic language in academic levels for non-Arabic speakers and a significant difference between composing textbooks in (Arabic) as a first language and as a language for non- Arabic speakers. This study seeks to identify appropriate indicators and standards for composing appropriate textbook by analyzing the series of (Alkilabi in learning Arabic) as one of the first and most famous books in this field in other countries. The study shows that Alketab series contain many features of a good book, but it is not inappropriate to be adopted as the main resource at universities or institutes due to Islamic cultural conflicts.

The poetry forms of Stanzas and Zajal and the topics that Andalusian poets address to them are among the issues that are still of interest to the researchers. In this article, we review Mohammad Abbasa's book, which is one of the last studies on this subject. In addition to providing comprehensive information on the Arabic poetry in Andalusia, especially the poetry of Stanzas and Zajal, he presents a new theory in which these two types of poetry are part of the poetry initiatives of the region and its emergence, not influenced by Arabic poetry in the East or European poetry in the West. According to this theory, contrary to the opinion of many scholars, Stanzas and Zajal have been influenced by part of European poetry called Troubadour; conversely, they are not correct. The descriptive content analysis method was used for criticism and reviewing the effect of this topic. According to the review, Mohammad Abbasa's theory is largely acceptable, but still parts of it need more indicia.

Comparative literature does not have the same and specific meaning. Actually, as a result of extensive alteration of meanings (eloquence) and development in the region of research, it can be said that nowadays just the mentality of accosting by literature and different cultures are dominant. Arab’s researchers are increasing and their approaches are varied. As a matter of fact, they are interested in searching a specific identity for Arab’s comparative literature, an identity that does not have any dependence on west and its matters. However, talking about Arab’s comparative literature is still new. This paper makes an attempt to study Ahmad Abdolaziz’s book entitled Nahva Nazariyya Jadida Leladab Almogharan by using descriptive and analytical and comparative ways; it also aims to review the positive points, difficulties, and content issues. This book is published in two copies and the author invited the readers to a new comparative literature bravely. But, the result shows that his attempt is an approach between France classicism and American unbridle and free ideology.He refers to France theory in the comparative part, and it is not an exaggeration if he said we cannot find anyspecific book’s idea in the world of comparative literature as well as Arab comparative literature.

One of the important books written about contemporary area of Arabic poetry is “Semantic & Artistic Aspects of Contemporary Arabic Poetry” by Azlodin Esmaeili, the famous critic of Arabic literature. This book was published in 1391 and translated by Seyyed Hossein Seyyedi, and was titled artistic and semantic aspects of contemporary Arabic poem of Taraneh Mashhad publications. One of the most important relationship bridges among languages, cultures, and literature of various countries is the translation. This study, investigating the relationship between substation and companionship that a famous linguist Saussurehas talked about, investigated the present translation. The present study has engaged in problems from the view of descriptive-interpretive method, by emphasizing the product-oriented (descriptive) translation studies. He has analyzed them, has presented the suggested translation. In general, it can be said that in spite of the efforts and a lot of translating problems in transferring contents from the source language into the target language, the translation of the mentioned book has confronted many difficulties that can be resulted from the loss of exact understanding or enough accuracy between the source language and the target language, and idioms have beneficial usages in the area of words and idioms in these languages.

The related flaws include simple covering design, typing mistakes, poor grammar, spelling mistakes, and poor eloquence. In terms of content, the advantages are good table of contents, impartiality, accordance with Islamic principles, and the sciences curriculum. The negative points in content are inconsistency between the titles, poor referencing, ambiguity in academic accordance, mismatch between title, content, and course objectives, and poor terminology.

Observing these suggestions can make the book fit for educational purposes.

Constructive criticism has asignificant impact on the scientific development which leads to the flourishment of the country’s whole wealth, i.e. its technology. As the emergence, revolution, and maturity of the Arabic language can be regarded as the problems which demand a particular heed, the research therein also seems very valuable. In this paper, the book “A’taTawor A’naHwi Le’loghate Al’Arabiy” written by Bergeshter Eser(1994) and researched and translated by Ramazaan AbdA’ta’waab has been put into criticism. Besides mentioning other semiotic languages such as Hebrew, Akkadian, Aramaic, and Habashi, this book has studied the Arabic syntax from the historical and linguistic viewpoints. Through the quantitative and qualitative analyses, it was understood that the book seeks two major objectives: first, studying the Arabic syntax from the historical viewpoint, that is, in terms of emergence, major letters, types of the sentence, the basic [of the language], and the changes applied to it over time; second, studying it structurally, which occurs in the linguistic scope. On the whole, this book has paved the way for the development of the Arabic syntax. In addition, it could reasonably be suggested that this book be included into the curriculum of Arabic language and literature at the PhD level for the course of Research into Arabic Word Formation and Syntax especially in Iran’s universities.

Critical analysis of written several books on various subjects and fields is an important and necessary rule of the critics. One of the most important areas of research is rhetoric that is still considered by many researchers. It is one of the updated and significant areas of research which attracts the attention of many researchers, so it should be reviewed academically and orderly research and books that should be reviewed properly. Accordingly, a critical review of the book "Philosophy of Rhetoric" by Raja Eid the full Professor of the University Banha, Egypt, as the main issue of this study is selected. The important findings of this research, which are based on interpretive-critical view, show that the respected author has tried to criticize the old rhetoric and look at them with a new look, but it does not seem that much of this work has been successful in considering logical classifications, philosophical and discursive discussions.

Myths are formed based on human nature and the mind, and the language of the current period is fluid. So, myths have been considered as the integral part of literature. Whenever the poets and writers see the wishes of the people in danger, they turned to myth. One of the most transformative periods in contemporary literary Persian and Arabic literature, can be influenced by factors such as political developments, arrogance, the pressure of internal despotic poets imbued with idealism. In this study, the effects of myth in a poem by Khalil Alhavi (1919- 1982) and M. Atashi (1310- 1384) were explored based on analytic approach which is in accordance with the myth functions as a means of awakening people to select the most motivated poets mentioned in this research.

The study of the book shows that this work, while having concessions, is free of defects. This essay aims to observe the principles of critique, using a descriptive-analytic method to determine the extent of adherence of the author to the standards and rules of writing the critiques. A careful review of the book suggests that this work has some shortcomings in content and form. Some of the most fundamental of which are as follows: addressing unnecessary topics such as the poet's biography and neglecting some of the essential topics, such as the Abbasid era poetry. There are many typographical errors found in the book that could give the beginners inaccurate information and even mislead the readers.

Considering that contemporary prose texts, in addition to the educational aspect, more than any time, reflects the culture and beliefs of a community and influences them; a book that is introduced as the reference for the curriculum, in addition to proper structure and content, should be in line with the latest literary theories and approaches, so it could fulfill its literary mission. For this reason, this research, using the method of rereading the work in both quantitative and qualitative analyses, has tried to see whether the book entitled ‘Malameh Al-Nathr Al-Hadith & Fonouneh’ by Omar Daqaq, Mohammad NajibTalawy, and MoradAb-AlrahmanMabrouk has enough potential to be used as a reference for the curriculum of Arabic language and literature. The results show that, in spite of its advantages, such as a completely legible font, ideal layout and technical performance of some authors of this book, it has many quantitative and qualitative disadvantages that if it is used as a reference for the curriculum, it would be very weak and incomplete. Some of the quantitative disadvantages of the book are very little use of punctuation marks and not having index, no list of references and the bibliography of the history of literature at the end of the book. Besides, some of the qualitative disadvantages of the book are not being reprinted after 18 years, thematic and content deficiencies of the titles, irregularity and incoherence of the text, inadequate citation, lack of up-to-date and valid resources and also defective presentation of the titles and wrong inference.

After emergence of Islam, by its miraculous style of expression, holy Quran attracted Muslims’ attention to rhetoric and aesthetics; this literati and critics fascination to miraculous style led them to move through regularization of rhetoric and aesthetics; in the meantime, by the advances in criticism and emergence of literary movements, there were some reactions to traditional approaches to rhetoric, showing themselves in names such as Osloobie.With regard to the new stylistics, numerous compilations were written by the critics, and in this study, the aim is to analyze one of this works, that is Osloobia albayanol arabi men ofogh alghavaedolmeyaria Elaafagh E-nnaselebdaee by Rahman Gharkan.This work was analyzed based on the content analysis method and the most significant results are mentioned in the part about pros and cons of the book. The most significant pros and cons include, a detailed boundary between old rhetoric and new rhetoric, which, by a practical part called “gheraatvanass” has led the author to succeed more in comparison to similar works The appropriateness of the title to the content is obvious in all chapters and two keywords “elghavaedolmeyariaelaafagh e-nnaselebdaee” has been analyzed in all chapters using evidences and references. A civilized and dynamic look to language as a live body in which rhetoric issues as well as modern literature have been used with a new perspective; presenting comprehensive analysis by the author at the end of each chapter which leads the reader to have a clear understanding about Osloobiaalbayanolarabi, logical discipline and order of book discussions are among the strengths of the book. Some editing and writing mistakes, compaction of book discussion and lack of exercises and tests, not having concordances, verses and poems, not evaluating and criticizing the view of western scholars are among the weak points.

Critical review of scientific production reveals the weaknesses of the works of the previous works, so we can avoid the shortcomings and strengthen our works.. Therefore, it can be said that achieving the optimum perfection in the development of academic resources is possible only after reviews. The present paper aims to review the book entitled "Egyptian Literature from the Establishment of the Ayyubi State to the Advent of the French Campaign ",written by Abdul Latif Hamza, and published in 2000 by the publication "Egyptian General Institute Forum for the Books" in 293 pages.The results of the critique and review of this book show that this book, despite some strengths such as observance of the rules of writing, the coherence and logical setting of the sections and chapters; unfortunately, it has many defects in the field of form and content. The most important drawbacks of this work include lack of registration of bibliography references and shortages, lack of introduction and closure for the sections and chapters, verbal errors due to non-observance of rules, lexical errors due to non-observance of the rules of conduct, interpretive errors and misunderstandings due to the inappropriate use of words and combinations. But the main drawbacks of the content in this book are repetition of the subject, surreptitious review due to the wide scope of the subject, reliance on compilation and accumulation as a result of the lack of analysis and innovation. It is hoped that the results of this brief review would be useful for the writer and other scholars, and would Lead to scientific promotion.
