Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to show the threads of the intertextuality that bind texts of Nizam Ganjavi’s Leyli o Majnun and the Quran together.

Methods: This study used the qualitative approach. The study’s data was collected via identifying and categorizing the texts related to Allah’s love in Leyli o Majnun. Data was analyzed relying on the poetics of Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality.

Results: The study results showed that the Islamic values discussed in Leyli o Majnun fall into three different categories: Shari’a, ethics and doctrine. The results also showed that those Islamic values are derived from the Quranic verses.

Conclusions: This study implicitly alludes to the notion that the Islamic values integrated in the body of the text are meant to show the greatness of Allah’s love. The study also recommends that the kind of love among humans portrayed in the text is nothing compared to the love that Allah reciprocates with His worshippers
