However, in the modem Arabic literature, there was a revival which is referred to in Arabic as “ al-Nahda”, which means "the Renaissance". Nevertheless, the paper finds out that there was a decline of Arabic literature as a result of getting into contact with a variety of different people's cultures like Persia, among others who influenced directly or indirectly on Arabic culture. The writer also looks at classical Arabic literature such as: poetry, prose, fiction and non-fiction literature, where imaginary and factual stories about events and people are written. The researcher finds out that the Quran is so influential in shaping literature in Arab nations and beyond.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary (1995) gives further explanations about literature as "writings having excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas of permanent or universal interest".
