Abstract
The literary works that appear are not necessarily the work of the Authors, but they have read previous literary works. This study aims to determine intertextuality by looking at the similarities and differences in the novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 2 by Habiburrahman El Shirazy with the novel Kidung Shalawat Zaki and Zulfa by Taufiqurrahman Al Azizy using a qualitative descriptive method.
