Investigating the intertextual relations between the received Duas of Imam Zaman (as) and the Holy Quran (Case study: Egyptian Alawite’s Dua)

One of the most important approaches in literary research today is the patterning of one text from another. This type of research, which shows the interaction of texts with each other, is called "intertextual" relationship and helps to understand it more fully and deeply by discovering and analyzing the signs of the interface between texts. The present study deals with the intertextual connection between the Holy Quran and one of the received Duas of Imam al-Zaman (aj) called " Egyptian Alawite’s Dua " and tries to clarify the depth of the connection between the text of the Holy Quran and this dua so that the inseparable connection The "silent and eloquent Qur'an" should be clarified and the light of the word of revelation should be manifested in the prayer of the Imam. In this research, which has been done by analytical-descriptive and comparative methods, the three main methods of intertextual relations: partial, parallel and general negation are examined and simultaneously with the analysis of syntactic, thematic, lexical or verbal contradictions and Quranic characters in layers. Below, the hidden and visible connections of the Imam’s dua with the Holy Quran have been investigated. The findings of the research showed that Imam Zaman has shown this conscious two-way interaction in the highest form in the form of this prayer.
