In Arabic music , the maww l plural maw w l , is a traditional genre of vocal music that is usually presented before the actual song begins. It is characterized by spelling vowel syllable s longer than usual. In any mawwal , the music begins with a layali , in which the listener will hear the common phrase Ya Ain Ya Lail , which means Oh eye, Oh night. Mawwal is sung in Colloquial Arabic colloquial rather than classical Arabic . The genre has links to historical forms of Arabic poetry and music and the singer demonstrates his skill with non metrical melodic improvisation on a poetic narrative text and melody . Etymology Mawwal means affiliated with, associated with, or connected to. The verb is waala . It is measure 3 of the root verb Walia , which means to follow, be affiliated with , support , or sponsor . Originally the verbal noun has a Yaa in the definite form but it loses it when the world is indefinite. Mawwal in Egypt In Egypt , the musicians of Mawawil play the rabab a double stringed spike fiddle made from half of a coconut shell covered with fish skin and a bow strung with horse hair , the kawala an end blown, oblique flute with six holes and the arghoul an ancient double clarinet characterized by two pipe material pipe s of unequal length. The second pipe serves as a drone and can be lengthened by adding pieces. The player uses the technique of circular breathing to produce an uninterrupted sound . The arghoul can be traced back to Ancient Egypt Pharaonic times as it is exactly depicted on wall paintings of the temples of the third dynasty. Amin Shahin is one of the few remaining arghoul players in Egypt, since the death of arghoul master, Moustafa Abd al Aziz in 2001.

Ibn Sahl Arabic language Arabic Abu Ishaq Ibrahim Ibn Sahl al Isra ili al Ishbili of Seville 1212 1251 is considered one of the greatest Moorish poets of Andalusia of the 13th century. He was a Jewish convert to Islam . ref The non Jewish origins of the Sephardic Jews By Paul Wexler, pg. 84 ref Ibn Sahl was born in 1212 3 in a Jewish family in Seville. Already in 1127 he drew some attention to himself by suggesting of adding a sentence to a poem made by renowned poet. Despite his Jewish family background Ibn Sahl was a devout Muslim. His diwan collected works are a testimony to his deep felt religious feelings. Some have criticized Ibn Sahl because he drank wine. The sincerity of his conversion probably very early in his life , however, was never questioned. When Seville came into the hands of Ferdinand III of Castile in 1248, Ibn Sahl left for Ceuta , where he became the secretary of the Almoravid governor Abu Ali Ibn Khallas . When Ibn Khallas sent his son to al Mustanir I , the caliph of the Hafsid s of Ifriqiya , he decided to send Ibn Sahl with him. The galley with which they travelled was shipwrecked and all the passengers perished.The governor is to have said about Ibn The pearl is returned to the sea. The diwan of Ibn Sahl contains the most refined examples of Al Andalus Andalusian poetry, almost exclusively love poetry and muwashsahat. Mostly known for his love poetry in muwashshah form, Ibn Sahl two young male lover addressees, M s ibn Abd al amad and Mu ammad, are thought by some to represent the two religions that played important roles in his life, his original Judaism and the Islam to which he converted. ref Humorous Approach of the Divine in the Poetry of al Andalus by Arie Schippers in Representations of the divine in Arabic poetry By Gert Borg, Ed de Moor p129 ref Others hold that the youths were historical individuals. ref Encyclopedia of Arabic Literature By Julie Scott Meisami, Paul Starkey p367 ref ... more details
