Abstract
This article examines the impact of the sublime Qur'an on the poetry of Ibn Zaydun which he wrote when he was imprisoned by Ibn Jahur, the king of Cordoba, Andalusia. During this period he wrote poetry on various topics and sent them to the king. His prison poetry comprises of the use of direct quotation from the sublime Qur’an as well as implied quotation of it; in some places he quoted exact text of the Qur'an for incorporating its literal meaning and in other places, he extracted ideas from Qur'an in support of his argument. This article presents a detailed overview of both the cases in his poetry.
