خلاصة:
Mohtasham Kashani, a Persian-speaking poet of the Safavid era, and Ma'ruf Abd al-Majid, a contemporary Egyptian-born Shiite poet, have multiplied the value and prestige of their poetry by utilizing the Holy Quran. In their poetry, they have paid special attention to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and the Imams Ali, Husayn, and Rida (peace be upon them), and have engaged in their praise and elegy. Both poets have expressed their devotion to the Shiite Imams (peace be upon them), composing poems in their praise or lamentation and integrating them into their own poetry. This article attempts, using a descriptive-analytical method based on the American school of comparative literature and by utilizing the general works of Mohtasham Kashani and the Diwan 'Balun al-Ghar Balun al-Ghadir' by Ma'ruf Abd al-Majid, to examine the religious poetry of the two poets and clarify the verses that are inspired by the Holy Quran or the praise and elegy of the great figures of the Shiite religion.

This article attempts, using a descriptive-analytical method based on the American school of comparative literature and by utilizing the collected works of Mohtasham Kashani and the Diwan "Balawn al-Ghar Balawn al-Ghadir" by Ma'ruf Abd al-Majid, to examine the religious poetry of these two poets and to clarify the verses that are embellished with the Holy Quran or involve the praise and elegy of the great figures of the Shiite religion.
To this end, from among Persian-speaking poets, we have selected Mohtasham Kashani, and from among Arabic-speaking poets, we have chosen Ma'ruf Abd al-Majid, so that we may engage in a comparative analysis of their praise and elegy regarding the Prophet (PBUH) and the Pure Imams (AS), relying on the American school of comparative literature.
The main necessity of the present essay is the comparative study of religious poetry and the praise and elegy of the Pure Imams (AS) in the two literatures, Persian and Arabic.
