Qur’anic Intertextuality in the Letters of Rashid al-Din al-Watwat (573 AH)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The importance of this research lies in its attempt to study the levels of Qur’anic intertextuality in the letters of Rashid al-Din al-Watwat 573 AH, and to show the aesthetic and stylistic features through what the Qur’anic impact leaves in them of the beauty of expression, the strength of style, and the statement of the writer’s way of dealing with the sacred text, and employing what the text possesses. From expressive and semantic energy and verbal and syntactic accuracy to support the writer’s intentions to investigate the purposes of those letters, the value of the study comes from the researcher’s attempt to study an ancient prose text using a modern concept, which is the term (intertextuality), and through an applied study of a number of texts of letters that opened to the texts of the dear book as a result of the strength of The writer’s religious reference and his saturation with the Qur’anic soul, and the hoarding of his cultural archive with the contents of the Holy Qur’an of words, structures, images and meanings, which the writer harnessed to enhance his writing charm, and broadcast it in his messages, addressing it to its recipients, trying to influence them with the eloquence of the Qur’anic systems, the splendor of the statement, the quality of performance and the magic of eloquence, being a dominant text that possesses the highest degrees of sanctity in the hearts of Muslims because it is revealed by the Lord of the Worlds, which bestowed on those messages a hint of holiness, and a high degree of persuasion.
