The current research, entitled “The Influence of the Holy Quran on the Prose of Mustafa Manfalouti”, has investigated the influence of the Holy Quran on the works of the writer Mostafa Lotfi Manfalouti. These characteristics are quite clear in the two books “Nazarat wa Abarat,” because Manfalouti grew up in a religious environment, so that he was provided with a suitable environment to memorize the Holy Quran and understand its meanings. In addition to the fact that he paid attention to social thoughts, the Arabic language, and literature, he also used the Holy Quran to express his intentions and meanings. This effectiveness is evident in the controversies and debates and recommendations that he gave in two books. In his prose, Manfalouti has been able to use a large number of Quranic verses, concepts, and meanings, which are found in the Holy Quran. This shows his special interest in the Holy Quran. Therefore, with the help of the realist technical method, the current research uncovers the Qur’anic experience of Manflouti, which goes beyond the expression of individual existence to take a stand on social issues and outline its situation. In this research, the researcher used the method of content analysis (a descriptive-analytical method). The most important results obtained in this research are: Manfalouti, in his prose, has simultaneously used the style and thought of the Holy Qur’an to invent a new prose technique for calling to the truth, through which he has attracted the audience in addition to giving guidance. Manfalouti is a reliable critic who has been able to correctly protect Islamic values by relying on the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Manfalouti relies on logic and intellectual persuasion in most of the issues he raises so that he can be in line with the stylistic developments of his like-minded people.
