Abstract
The present study adopts a comparative and jurisprudential approach to examine two prominent contemporary novels: The Idrisis’ House by Ghazaleh Alizadeh and Beirut 75 by Ghada Al‑Samman. The main objective of this paper is to reveal the link between literature and moral‑jurisprudential concepts within the cultural contexts of Iran and the Arab world. Both writers, through their narrative worlds, reflect moral crises, social transformations, and the individual’s conflict with power and religious law. In The Idrisis’ House, the traditional structure of family and religious values collapses under political chaos and personal desires; whereas in Beirut 75, moral corruption and the disintegration of human values stem from a distancing from faith and divine justice. The comparative jurisprudential analysis shows that both works, while criticizing gender and social inequalities, emphasize the necessity of returning to spirituality, justice, and responsible freedom.The findings demonstrate that Alizadeh and Al‑Samman, through their feminine and justice‑oriented perspectives, successfully portray the tension between sensual inclinations and Islamic legal principles in a poetic‑realistic narrative, thereby offering a new model of ethical‑social literature within the Islamic context.
