Ibn Sharaf al-Qayrawani is considered as one of the most famous writers on the subject of writing maqama, in which he draws inspiration from literary techniques such as allusions, proverbs, grammatical and jurisprudential riddles, and others. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, tries to analyze her artistic and creative features in writing maqama by examining the narrative structure in Ibn Sharaf al-Qirwani’s authorities and narrative factors. The study finds that considering narrative elements, Ibn Sharaf al-Qairwani has a special skill in presenting fictional characters both directly and indirectly. Also, the structure of time is consistent with the artistic rhythm of maqamah. In addition, he excels in structuring the plot by presenting events in a somewhat coherent form.
