Abstract
This article is an analytical study of the ideological dimensions and stylistic features in the Arabic novel entitled “Jamilah” authored by Abdul-Aziz AbdulKarim Burhanuddin. The novel’s major theme is love affair between Habib and Jamila, but some other religious, cultural, socio-political, economic and administrative aspects of human life were included for presentation of positive cultures and values in Nigeria. Indeed, this creative work has not gained much attention from researchers in Nigeria, despite its language and literature benefits for Arabic readers and researchers to acquaint them with life values. The main objectives of the studies were to determine the extent at which the novel portrayed the plausibility of the issues raised, also the aesthetics of the style used, as required in story-writing. The methodology adopted was both historical and analytical. The historical method was used for correlation of the novelist’s biography with the historical fact raised. The analytical method was also used in practical study of the stylistical features in the novel, the major findings of the study were that the novelist’s capability in the use of Arabic knowledge for writing is evident in the aspects of grammar, logic and rhetoric for portrayal of clearness, strength and beauty in the work. The researcher thereby recommended that elegant Arabic style should further be used in creative writings to continue to promote aesthetics of literature, and generally the life values, as Burhanuddin did.
