Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to shed some light on how Islam impacted poetry written by Abul Atahi and Abu Temmam. The first of the two is an ascetic poet (zuhdiyyat), who relied on religious poetry, and the other was strongly influenced by primary sources of Islam and was one of the first anthologists who produced a selection of the best passages from pre-Islamic and Islamic Arabic poetry, sorting it by content: heroic poems, elegies, praises, satires, etc. Their poetry has been collected, commented on and presented to the public. Numerous sources on their lives and work are available from classic Arabic historical and literary sources, relied on for writing about them in our times.
