Abstract :

Relying on post-colonial theory (Intellectualism and Westernization), this paper examines the study and comparison of Mostafa Lotfi Manfaluti, the prominent poet and defiant Egyptian writer with Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s works; as well as these two authors’ views about women, defying Iranian and Egyptian society women by the West, overshadowing the hijab and chastity, invading two countries and villages of these two countries by the West and the cause of being pagan in Egyptian and Iranian youth and their latitude to family and home. In addition, the author’s comments on the need for refined western achievements, and their common and distinguishing views have been clarified, and finally some of the contemporary intellectuals and scholars’ viewpoints of these two authors’ age have been brought.
