Ahmed Waeli, a famous contemporary Iraqi Shiite poet and orator, has used the phonemenon of quranic intertextuality abundantly in hisreligious poetry. In his poetry, the literal and spiritual impact of the Qur'an can be found manifestly. He usesthe teachings of the Qur'an in two methods: in the first one, like many classical Arab poets, he uses somequranic words and concepts in poetry without any changes and creativity. This method has the highest frequency in his poetry; another method he has used is intertextuality. In this method, Waeli's inspiration from the Qur'an is indirect and hidden mixed with technical dexterity and capability.
