Abstract

In each language, both from the semantic and morphological aspects, adages are of great importance. Being full of wisdom, the quranic adages have been investigated by the quranic scholars for a long time. Moreover, the attention to the quranic adages has been increased from the early period of Islam. This attention has been to the extent that in addition to the miscellaneous works in the religious or literary books, more than sixteen monographs have been written in this field. In the Persian literary tradition there are a lot of poems which are regarded as adages and with the aid of deep thinking in their meaning we can find out how deeply their poets are influenced by the quranic adages. This influence is made directly through adapting the holy verses or being inspired by them. In this paper, we try to find the verses which are taken as proverbs and their influences on the Persian poetry.
