Intertextuality is a critical term that was first introduced by the Bulgarian linguist Julia Kristeva in the late 1860’s and has since spread to contemporary Arabic poetry. The use of the Qur'anic intertextual technique is salient in the poems of contemporary poets, especially among the Palestinian intifada poets in the poems written for Martyr Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. This is because he was a great Islamic preacher and the leader of the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement in the Gaza Strip who had derived his thoughts and method of fighting from the Quran. Using these techniques, these poets attempt to convey their thoughts and feelings more deeply and effectively to their readers and add to their poems the quality of immortality, which stems from the significance of the profound implications and sublime themes of the Holy Quran and the sacredness it has among Muslims. The purpose of this study is to examine Qur’anic intertextuality in the free verse poetry of the Palestinian intifada poets in their elegies about Martyr Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. In this line, the paper adopts the analytical-descriptive approach in order to portray the aesthetics of the intertextuality theory application from the viewpoint of Muhammad Binis, who divided it into three parts: partial negation, parallel negation, and total negation. The results of this study indicate that there is strong intertextuality between the implicit Qur`anic text and the free verse poetry about Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, which has added to their spiritual beauty and value. Lastly, the partial negation type of external intertextuality is the most frequently used type of intertextuality in the free verse poetry about Sheikh Ahmad Yassin.
