Abstract
The Holy Qur’ān, this Divine Revelation, with its rich literature, has always fascinated the literati and poets throughout history and its lofty and profound themes have always inspired the great poets and writers. This is also very evident in the contemporary Arabic literary works. The works of the majority of the literati of this period are replete with religious and Qur’ānic words and the manifestation of many of the ideological and ethical themes of the Holy Qur’ān. They are also the best witnesses and evidences for proving the impressionability of the Arab literati form the Holy Qur’ān in all epochs. Muṣṭafā Luṭfī Manfalūṭī is one of the renowned and popular Egyptian writers that has left very good memories among the people with his beautiful and delightful stories, particularly his “Al-‘Abarāt wa al-Naẓarāt.” He was a genius in writing and literature and had a unique style in his articles and books. He was among the literati who had a high knowledge and thorough understanding of the Qur’ān’s sublime themes. As a social reformer, he attempted by relying on the Qur’ānic themes and meanings to liberate the Egyptian corrupt and backward society from the Western yoke of slavery and help them reach the lofty and prominent Egyptian cause. Relying on the descriptive-analytical method, the present research examines the thematic reflection of the Holy Qur’ān on Manfalūṭī’s written works and draws the conclusion that the Holy Qur’ān has had a significant impact on the Manfalūṭī’s self-purification, advancement of goals, and uplifting the literary level of his works.
