Singing has not found a place since the pre-Islamic era until the poetry emerged which was truly the Dīwān of Arabs. The art of singing has become more prevalent than other musical Arts in the Arab world. The songs were the first musical expressive tools that added to the melody of poetry more attractive and fun elements. So the study came to show the relationship between music and Arabic language in terms of structures, rules and construction, which are what they share together.
