Abstract

In the world of contemporary fiction, writing historical and realistic novels with a religious approach has become prevalent. In this type of novel, the author relies on historical events and uses their imagination to develop the story, enhancing the charm of their writing. This research aims to stylistically examine "The Novel of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)," "The Namira Novel," and "The Midnight Dream Novel." The method of this research is a qualitative content analysis of the texts and a comparative study of the three novels in terms of style. This article focuses on two layers: "ideological and rhetorical," as the prominence of other layers in these novels was not particularly noticeable. Additionally, the examination of stylistic features in these novels constitutes another part of this article. All three novels feature historical and real characters, and the events within the novels give a simple structure to the stories, incorporating elements of emotional, romantic, and adventurous novels. Factors such as realism, timelessness of the works, diversity of themes, use of classical style, fluent and understandable language for the general public, gender representations, and the interconnectedness of story elements have influenced the writing of these novels. What distinguishes these contemporary religious novels is their spiritual framework and historical and realistic content, aligning with Islamic teachings and pure Shiite knowledge. The main theme of these novels is resistance against oppression.
