Abstract

Intertextuality is a modern rhetorical critical term and is a technique of contemporary literary expression and is termed differently by different researchers/scholars. It is the integration of discourses and the interaction and overlap of texts with each other. Intertextuality helps writers to integrate the fictional work with other fictional and non-fictional works and to depict social and intellectual issues with an aesthetic and artistic way.

Bakathir relied mainly on the phenomenon of intertextuality in narrating the events of his novel and building its characters. He was very interested in religion and religious discourse. There are several types of intertextuality in his fiction, most notably the use of Qur’anic intertextuality and the Prophetic hadith in his narration. He drew words and expressions from these pure resources i.e. the Holy Qur’an and the Noble Hadith.
