Abstract
Ahmad Matar is one of the Iraqi political and committed poets,who has addressed political and social concepts with his own expression,and on the other hand,Jafar Qoli Zangli,nicknamed the King of Kermanj poets in Kurdish literature, is considered one of the most prominent Iranian Kurdish poets.It is worth noting that both poets have used the symbol element as an integral part of their compositions and there are many religious symbols in their poems. How the use of religious symbols by these two great contemporary Arab and Kurdish poets reveals their inner thoughts and beliefs,and its comparative study can give a more comprehensive view to the audience of world literature, therefore, the comparative study of religious symbols in their poems is important. The purpose of this research is to investigate the religious symbolism in the poems of Ahmad Matar and Jafargholi Zangali,which has compared the religious symbols of their poems with a descriptive-analytical method and based on Peirce's semiotics and the French school of comparative literature.The results of this research are that the poets have reflected negative and positive religious characters in their divan, with the difference that Jafar Qoli's poems paid more attention to the reality of history, also; The frequency of use of holy places and times is almost similar to each other and both singers have used nature and symbols to express their purposes, and Matar uses religious issues at the level of symbols with his poetic expression, and Zangli, due to simplicity,uses these concepts in Uses profile limit.
