This research paper deals with the Qur’anic intertextuality in the poetry of the Khawarkhs, as it represents a remarkable phenomenon in their poetry that cannot be missed by the eye. The aim of the paper is to explore the manifestations of this type of intertextuality in the poetry of this unruly religious sect. The research has been conducted according to the requirements of its procedural plan that consists of two axes. The first is theoretical that it stops at the concept of intertextuality in terms of linguistic and idiomatic intertextuality. The paper also tackles the importance of Holy Qur’an and its employment in poetic texts, in particular, and literary texts, in general. As for the second axis, that represents the authenticity of the study, the paper is purely empirical, in which the Qur’anic intertextuality has been clarified in the poetry of the Kharijites through four forms of intertextuality, represented in: quotational intertextuality, intertextuality of reference, indicative intertextuality, and the stylistic intertextuality. The paper has followed the analytical and empirical methodology; one of its most important procedural instruments is the adaption of the modern critical methods and their brilliant conquests.
