Hafez enjoys a very good reputation for his close interest and concerns for the Holy Qoran. He studied this heavenly book to such an extent and depth that he knew it by heart and thus was designated as hafez (memorizer). No doubt, the structure, eloquence and aesthetic style of Qoran wordings have had a remarkable impact on Hafez. Some of these effects, including inserting and mentioning of signs (Ayat) or using their meanings are conspicuous. However, the influence of Qoran on Hafez goes far beyond that. This article discusses two eloquent points (mentioning General after Specific and General for specific) which are widely used in Qoran and, accordingly, in Hafez's Lyrics (sonnets).
