'Imad ad-Din Halil is one of the most outstanding contemporary Islamic fundamentalist thinkers from Iraq. His thought covers various problems of culture in the context of Islam. From this point of view he analyses e.g. the Islamic methodology of sciences and the Islamic theory of arts. In this article the author presents the Islamic theory of Literature by 'Imad ad-Din Halil in the light of his most important books in this concern: 'Madhal ila Nazariyyat al-Adab al-Islami' (Introduction to the Theory of Islamic Literature), 'An-Naqd al-Islami al-Mu'asir' (Contemporary Islamic Literary Criticism) and 'Muhawalat Gadida li-an-Naqd al-Islami' (New Attempts of the Islamic Literary Criticism). In his analyses Halil bases on Islamic aesthetic theory and presents his attitude towards the contemporary literary currents in the West. His attitude, rooted in the fundamentalist Islamic theory of Arts, is set in comparison with similiar views concerning the role and form of the Christian literature, mainly among Polish writers and scholars.

This article is devoted to an eminent Polish-Tatar Orientalist, writer and activist of the first part of the 20th century, Ali Ismail Woronowicz. From 1937 he was an imam of the Muslim community of the city of Warsaw, and from 1938 he looked after Muslims in the Polish army. From 1933, he was a member of the editorial staff of the scholarly journal Rocznik Tatarski [Tatar Yearbook]. In 1941 he was accused of espionage and arrested by the NKVD. The subsequent fate of Woronowicz is unknown; he was probably killed by the Soviet army. Woronowicz published in Polish and foreign scholarly and popular periodicals. He focused mainly on the study of the Tatar region in the Polish-Lithuanian territories. In 1936, in Cairo, he published a brochure in Arabic Al-Islām fī Būlūnyā [Islam in Poland], which was probably the first publication about Poland in Arabic in the Middle East. While still studying in Cairo, he began working on the monograph “The Life of the Prophet Muhammad and the Dawn of Islam”.

Muḥammad Ibn Aḥmad Akansūs belongs to the most outstanding Moroccan writers of the 19th Century and was also very active in the social and political life of his times. He was a historian and religious writer, but in Morocco itself he is known above all as a poet, though his dīwān has not been edited until this day. Most of his poems are known from the works of other authors and from his own books devoted to history and religion. His most important work is without doubt the chronicle entitled Al-µayš al-ʻaramram al-ẖumāsī fi dawlat Mawlānā ʻAlī as-Siǧilmāsī (“Innumerable Fivefold Army or About the State of Our Lord ʻAlī as-Siǧilmāsī”). Furthermore he is the author of several treatises about Sufism (especially about the Tiǧāniyya brotherhood) and of an extensive collection of letters written to outstanding personalities of his times devoted mainly to religious problems. His historical, religious and literary output has until today not been presented in the West besides the book of É. Lévi-Provençal entitled Les historiens des chorfa. Essai sur la littérature historique et biographique au Maroc du XVIe au XXe siécle (Paris 1922).
