This study examines the use of Quranic scientific imagery and faith-oriented ornamentation in selected Arabic poetic texts. It focuses on how poets employ religious vocabulary, Quranic allusions, and science-related images to construct a discourse that connects poetic expression with theological reflection and intellectual persuasion. The study analyzes selected works of Mohammad al-Aid Al-Khalifa, Ahmad Sahnoun, and Jarir, with attention to themes such as the stages of human creation, the origin of human beings, the soul, iron, water, marine separation, mountains, and cosmic order. Using an inductive and analytical approach, the article traces how these themes are represented poetically and how they are linked to Quranic and Prophetic references. Rather than treating poetic language as mere aesthetic decoration, the study argues that such language functions as a form of demonstrative ornamentation, in which imagery, metaphor, intertextuality, and religious diction are used to reinforce faith-based meanings and invite reflection on the relationship between revelation, nature, and human knowledge. The findings show that Arabic poetry can serve as an important medium for expressing religious understanding, organizing scientific imagery within a faith-based worldview, and presenting Quranic meanings in a form that appeals to both emotion and reason. The article contributes to the study of Arabic religious poetry, Quranic intertextuality, and the literary representation of science-related themes in Islamic discourse.
