Features of Qur’anic intertextuality and the implications of its use in praises of Sheikh Jaber Al-Kadhimi
Abstract
The reader of Sheikh Jaber Al-Kadhimis poetry feels the presence of a unique poeticism that is interspersed with the presence of places of absorption and spaces of rumination that vary in nature and sources that ruminate from multiple cultural resources, so his poetic texts open up to semantic contents, inferential suggestions, and relational symbols. The Quranic text is considered one of the most prominent cultural sources that are present in its spirit and whose bell is audible, so its resonant echoes occupy large areas of his collection. In this type of interrelation, the textual interactions are evident in the poets collection through reference to religious vocabulary that has a historical dimension or references to some facts, stories, or religious practices, including It gives the text richness and splendor, because evoking the Quranic discourse in literary texts gives it distinction for its connotations based on the credibility, sanctity, and miraculous nature of the Quranic discourse, and this constitutes a conscious textual connection between the creative text and the Holy Quran. Revealing these mechanisms is what the study aims to clarify by relying on intertextuality as a methodological mechanism employed by the study in three sections.
