<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the forms and functions of iqtibās in the poetry of Labid Ibn Rabiah based on the study of Arabic rhetoric (balāghah). Iqtibās refers to the incorporation of Qur’anic or Prophetic expressions into literary texts without explicit attribution. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research and content analysis of selected poetic verses. The findings reveal eleven phrases identified as iqtibās, classified into three types: lafẓī (verbal), ma‘nawī (semantic), and muḥawwal (modified). These forms function to reinforce meaning, intensify spiritual nuance, and create a sacred atmosphere within the poetic structure. The study concludes that iqtibās serves not merely as a stylistic feature, but also as an aesthetic and theological device that constructs depth of meaning and expressive strength in classical Arabic poetry.]]>
