چکیده
The Qur’an, an educational book with multilayered narratives, has strongly influenced dramatic arts in Iran since the establishment of the Islamic Republic. However, most contemporary Qur’anic plays focus narrowly on specific subjects, thereby diverging from comprehensive Qur’anic themes. This narrow focus has confined the works to repetitive and stereotypical surface-level topics. In the present study, the two plays Parizad of the City of the Forgotten and Four Chests are selected to identify, extract, and analyze the components of Qur’anic plays and the reflection of Qur’anic themes in dramatic works, aiming to provide a comprehensive definition of Qur’anic drama. The main research question is: ‘What characteristics cause contemporary plays to be classified as Qur’anic artistic works?’ The research method is descriptive–analytical. By rigorously examining the selected plays' content for Qur’anic components, this study establishes that the authenticity of Qur’anic narratives lies in their thematic substance, which, when preserved, can be successfully adapted into various contemporary dramatic forms with diverse subjects and modes of expression. Therefore, it can be asserted that there is no essential functional or message-based distinction between religious and non-religious plays, highlighting the universal adaptability and relevance of Qur’anic themes within modern dramaturgy
