الملخص

Arabic poetry is rich with the treasure of Naat and possesses such distinctive characteristics which make it unique and unparalleled. In the Islamic world, Na't poetry has flourished alot alongside other form of poetry not merely on tradition and imitation, but on the basis of feelings and emotion of love, affection and ecstatic devotion. Aisha bint Yusuf al-Ba'uniyyah (d. 922 AH/ 1517 CE) in the fifteen century AD, was a distinguished Sufi poetess and scholar of the Abbasid-era tradition. Her Na't poetry, which is adorned and embellished with the love for the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)  reflects mystical insight, deep spiritual knowledge and profound devotion In al-Ba'uniyyah's poetry the concept of "Mercy to the world" (Rahmat li'l-Alamin) is not limited to Muslims alone, rather, it appears as a universal message of guidance, compassion, goodness and love for all nations and all creation. This research examines the extended connotations of "Rahmat-ul-lil-Almeen" in the Arabic poetry of al-Ba'uniyyah and to analyze its various dimensions, of individual, society, ethics, spirituality, character, and universal humanism. It explores how her Na't poetry encompasses not merely literary genre but rather a means and source for universal embodiment of mercy, moral reformation, inner purification, human refinement and spiritual elevation. The aim of this research is to explain and highlight how these ideas can contribute to adressing the spiritual and moral challenges faced by humanity in this contemporary age.
