Abstract :

Stylistics is one of the branches of literary critique that use linguistic and rhetoric in text analysis, and in the critical and literary examination, it relies on the three main elements of the text, the author, and the audience. This research that based on structuralist stylistics, seeks to discover the Hidden Angles of Sheikh Ahmad Waeli's Religious Poems and from this point of view, his poems have been explored in linguistic, literary, and intellectual levels in a descriptive-analytical manner. The results of this study show that the poet's social and political ideas are reflected in his religious poems and the poet makes political and social use of the Ahlul-Bayt (pbuh) and especially the Prophet (pbuh). He is a poet of content and concept and has used simple, yet elusive words and phrases to interpret his beliefs and it rarely gets out of the poetry templates. He has a particular tendency to speak addressing and it has tried to serve its religious poetry to serve the needs and challenges of the Muslim world. He is aware of Quranic concepts and words and he has been able to add Qur'anic thought to his religious poetry.
