The Digital Literature has become a common phenomenon around the world and in the Arab world as well. It has become a new way of creativity. It relies heavily on the new technology to achieve a maximum degree of expression and to create a desired good impression on the receiver.
Sultanate of Oman is not far away from the technical development especially in the field of technology. Hence, this study takes deals with the terminology linked to this genre. As such it offers opportunity for the researcher to describe this new experience with a clear definition of the digital Literature (as noticed by the researcher himself).
This research has its own reading to the digital Literature in its essential meaning. It moves forward by describing the digital Literature in simple terms and by analyzing it with various examples of Omani poets.
Taking into account the fact that the digital Literature is an interactive literature, in which the critic has the permission to read the famous trilogy: the author, the text and the receiver. At the same time, when the author tweets on Twitter or post on Facebook, he waits for the reaction of the followers or the receivers. Then, he interacts with them according to the value of the comments.
Thus, this famous trilogy: the author, the content/text, and the follower (receiver) have been actualized in the digital Literature in Oman. In fact, we have found that many texts have been widely discussed.
The main aim of this study is to neutralize the term and define the digital Literature; then describe its reality and shows the distinctive examples of the Omani poetic experiences. We have paid attention to this point. We have chosen some poets' accounts, who are aware enough of the definition of the interactivity and its realization. Needless to say that the author follows the opinions of his followers about his texts, clarifies issues, interacts with them, criticizing or supporting or giving his opinion. We have ignored the accounts that do not interact with the readers. We have tried to explain how to use the technology to create a good impression among the followers. We have analyzed different points of view. We have highlighted the interactive nature between the author and the reader about the text.
The research paper relies heavily on the Descriptive Methodology to achieve its goals. It relies also on the Analytical Methodology to determine the interactive nature, which the Omani digital Literature relies on, in a limited period of time between 2016 and 2017. This period represents the beginning of this new creative experience and the related awareness.
The research paper helps in somewhat to develop the Arabic critical theory. It also helps to change the marginal impressions and the false assumptions of some Arab critics about the nature of the digital Literature, which is always described as informal.
The poems, posted on the social media in Oman are almost written in a formal Arabic language, taking into account the correctness of grammar and vocabulary.
We notice that the novelists of the traditional cultural establishment mark their presence in social media. We also notice an outstanding presence of the academics and the critics in this electronic field through participating, commenting sometimes and liking and sharing sometimes. It is clear that the official establishment has accepted this kind of Literature. In fact, many critical issues have been discussed like the relationship between the poetic text and the holiness, the theme of free poetry, interactionism and poems and the theme of intertextuality, the rhythm…
It is clear enough that the Omani poetic experience has benefited a lot from social media in publishing and has made use of this technology in all its forms .It is not away from the important developments of the Arabic experience.
We notice that many Omani poets know the definition of 'interactionism' that's why most of them are keen to make comments about their texts and show their interaction

This research seeks to survey and analyze whole Omani lexical productions from the 10th to the 13th century Hijri, with the aim to answer the following questions:
1. What are the Omani lexical remnants from the 10th to the 13th century Hijri?
2. What are the Omani lexicography methods and types of dictionaries that appeared during this time period?
3. What is the content of these lexical remnants in terms of subject, compilation and processing?
Building on these questions, the study divides these lexical productions by lexigraphy methods into independent dictionaries and linguistic messages or lexical chapters. It proceeds to focus on each lexical production and analyzes its content in order to identify its type, whether descriptive or prescriptive, as well as its subject, compilation method, content processing pattern and the main relevant elements, such as its references and methodological sources of influence.
This study is particularly important considering that no separate study - as far as the researcher is aware - has exclusively addressed this time period, surveyed its lexical productions and examined its lexical material.
The study produced numerous findings, mainly on the diversity of Omani lexical production in the said time period in form of both monolingual and bilingual descriptive and prescriptive dictionaries, as well as the diversity in subjects that ranged from linguistics and medical terms to Islamic jurisprudence. These productions are valuable linguistic and cultural assets that help to track Omani terminology and semantics through that time period

Language and religion are linked by close ties that can neither be separated nor divided owing to the fact that the religion along its rulings can be understandable properly through the language as it is the language of the holy Qur’an and the language of the noble Prophetic hadiths wherein lies its sanctity and significance. Furthermore, the interrelationship between language and religion is tight, considering that both are social phenomena that are unambiguous and succinct in addition to interdependence and interlace between the two terms, knowing that some religious terms may take wider dimensions in meaning than the common lexical meaning of the term in the everyday language, according to the strength of the term, its suggestion, literary and linguistic imagination employed.
The addressee finds that many religious phenomena such as existence or mysticism have no relationship to the form or text, given that intimacy and mysticism are models of religious thought in which the problematic of meaning and the ambiguity of its manifestations abound. Sufis and existentialists utilize language as a pillar in expressing their spiritual experiences, such as “immortality”, “mortality”, “eternal struggle concern”, “spirits of lovers, Sufis, and poets”. This research deals with several axes of these phenomena respectively, exhibiting how poets handled them in their poems as follows: the experience of the poet Mahmoud Darwish - through a topic: The dialectic of Form and Existential Experience - as well as the experience of the poet Abdul Wahhab al-Bayati in a study – titled: The Dialectic of Form and the Sufi Experience) - approaching one of his outstanding poems. Third poet is Sheikh Jaafar - in his poem Smoke - as its poetic experience leads to a textual experience. The title of the topic will be (Form and Textual Experience) in a way that exposes the true value of the form and its close relationship to the poetic experience in the context of the presence of the poetic ego that answers the poetical questions in the light of the close relationship between formation and trial, the formation with its artistic and aesthetic orientation and the trial with its humanistic and cultural one.
The researcher follows the inductive approach in tracing the terms expressing the form and the existential, mystical and textual experience of the three poets. The analytical method can also be used to study the form and the three experiences’ connotations, linguistically, fictionally, artistically, formally and semiotically. It could be concluded with some results, like: that both language and religion are capable of growth, evolution, and modernization. It can also be concluded that ancient religious concepts exist and are visible in modern poetry and that the same opinions are still followed except that the expression and term vary.

Keywords: dialectic of form and trial, Sufism, textualism, existentialism and complex poetic text.

Omanis presence in East Africa was accompanied by cultural and civil existence that had different dimensions. The literary discourse stands out as one of the phenomena that deserve to be studied in a systematic manner to produce an understanding of this civil contribution that had clearly recognizable benefits and advantages in that geographical area.
This study investigates the image of the ego in the imagination of Omani Historians while they compile East African history. We chose the book Juhainat al-Akhbar because it represents the most comprehensive source for such a study.
The study examines the historical discourse in this book based on the analytical methodology. Regardless of the facts narrated in the book, the study highlights the appearance of the ego in this historical work.
The writer has not only highlighted the ego in his book, but added to it an analytic dimension as well, the most respectable addition he included is his critique of the ego, giving very valuable information to those attempting to evaluate that era in history.
He presented the combined ego of the Arab, the Omani, the Ibādi and the African in the way it was perceived and recognized in that culture. The writer presented a unique blend between all of these ethnic and intellectual roots producing a valuable document for study those times.
This paper goes deep in the literary packages and expressions but aims at illuminating how far a linguistic product can reflect a civilized community
