%X Abu l-£¿Ala al-Ma£¿arri (973-1057) is a famous extraordinary blind Arab poet and philosopher also known as ¡°Prisoner of Two Prisons¡±. Risalat Al-Ghufran is his one of the most important prose works since a work like this has never been seen before in Arabic literature. Risalat Al-Ghufran is a letter which Abu l-£¿Ala al-Ma£¿arri in 1033 wrote as an answer for the letter sent by Ali bin Mansur al-Halabi known as Dawhala and Ibn al-Qarih. £¿t consists of two parts, But the first part made it realy popular. This part includes a fantastic story of an imaginary journey to the spiritual worlds. After about three hundred years after the emergence of Ma£¿arri`s work in 1320 emerged Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) written by the great Italian Poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). This poem that created the basis of modern Italian language and considered one of the greatest works in history of World Literature consists a similar journey to hell, purgatory and paradise. Despite a long period of time and a distance in thousands of kilometers between Italy and Syria, there are astonishing similarities between Divine Comedy and Risalat Al-Ghufran. Our article is a comparative study in which we researched Abu l-£¿Ala al-Ma£¿arri¡¯s Risalat Al-Ghufran and Dante Alighieri`s Divine Comedy. Using the comparative method we made an analysis of theme, thought and form each of the two works written in different languages in different time and place. In doing so we detected common, similar and different aspects of these two works and also we tried to find out the reasons of the similarity by examining different aspects of Dante¡¯s biography and historical events that may influenced Dante and his creation
