Citation Abstract: The social structure of Arab society in the pre-Islamic era constitutes an important entry point in revealing the meaning of pre-Islamic poetry, which had a major role in expressing the aspirations of pre-Islamic life, its conditions and hopes, even though the tribe represented a major axis in this desert life and delineated a social system that did not recognize independence and personality. Individualism, but rather tribal fanaticism, which establishes the individual’s legitimacy for survival - and protects his identity from extinction within the environmental and historical challenges - has emerged.
