Abstract

Majd Khafi's Rowzat al-Khald is a suitable instance of the texts have benefited Qur'anic verses and the depth of this literal and spiritual influence is quite apparent in them. The main purpose of present essay is to explore the variety of intertextual relations between the above mentioned book and Holy Qur'an as well as different implications of Qur'anic verses. To achieve this, Rowzat al-Khald was analyzed in terms of Gérard Genette’s theory of intertextuality. The results show that different ranges of Qur'anic discourses have been reflected in this work, what confirms intertextual relations. Accordingly, Quranic quotations usage has caused the book being interested by allusion, citation, premonitory and exhortative functions. The functions of integrating Qur'an, without citing the references in Rowzat al-Khald, include: the continuity of dialogues narration as well as creating similes and rhythm enhancement. Further, ironies, brevities and allusions are some of the most important forms of implied intertextuality are being frequently seen in Rowzat al-Khald. So understanding the figurative, virtual language of this work is partly dependent on the perception of Qur'anic verses used in it. مجد یدی:dnya.ه همراه مشخصات نویسندگان به انگلیسی.
