Arabic
It is obviously not possible to examine the entire Arab literary production: we will therefore start from the many examples of pre-Islamic verses to dwell then over the centuries on the reproposition of themes among the authors and the periods of greatest importance until we approach the modern and contemporary era. In this regard, we believe that incursions into popular expressions and proverbs can confirm the persistence of terms and concepts that are not too distant, despite the time that has elapsed, but also different according to the changed context and which continue to raise important questions.

Il n’est évidemment pas possible d’examiner l’ensemble de la production littéraire arabe : nous partirons donc des nombreux exemples de vers préislamiques pour nous attarder ensuite au fil des siècles sur la reproposition de thèmes chez les auteurs et les périodes de plus grande importance jusqu’à aborder l’époque moderne et contemporaine. À cet égard, nous pensons que des incursions dans les expressions et les proverbes populaires peuvent confirmer la persistance de termes et de concepts qui ne sont pas trop éloignés, malgré le temps qui s’est écoulé, mais aussi différents selon le contexte changé et qui continuent de soulever d’importantes interrogations.

الزمان والمكان هما الإحداثيات الأساسية لكل الوجود بقدر ما يتعلق الأمر بالبشر حتى قبل اختراع الكتابة فإن بعض التصورات والتجارب لكليهما تبلورت في اللغة إذا جاز التعبير.
بطبيعة الحال، ونظرًا للتغيير الذي يطرأ على المفاهيم اللغوية لأن أصل اللغات ضارب في التاريخ، فإن بعض التعبيرات، حتى لو كانت دون وعي، تحتوي داخل نفسها على رؤية للعالم المناسب للحظة التي تشكلت فيها، والتي يمكن أن تكون أحيانا بعيدة جدًا عن المفاهيم التي ولدت لاحقا والتي تتضمنها جنبا إلى جنب إذا لم يتم استبدالها. ولا يزال هناك تأثير مستمر في استخدامها وهذا جزئيا ما زال يٌجهدنا على الرغم من أننا نادرًا ما ندرك ذلك.
لهذا السبب، الكثير من المفاهيم الفلسفية أو اللاهوتية التي تستحق التعمق فيها لأسباب تتعلق أيضا بالمكان والكفاءة، وسنركز على الآثار اللغوية للمفاهيم المختلفة إن لم تكن معاكسة لموضوع البحث وهو ”الزمن/ القدر/ الدهر”، وذلك على أمل وضع الأسس لهدف المقارنه على نطاق أوسع وأدق وهذا لزيادة الوعي بأبعاد وخصائص المصطلحات والمعاني المختلفة المرتبطة بنفس المصطلحات عبر التاريخ والتي نتعامل معها وهي تُعتبر نموذجية لحالتنا البشرية، دون الادعاء بفك العقد التي تميزها، بل لمعرفة أعمق بملاحظتها ووصفها، وذلك كمساهمة أساسية أوليه لاعطاء المزيد من التعبيرات والروءي بشكل أعمق.
