The article examines in a comparative manner the treatise of the great Arab writer al-Maarri “Risalat al-Ghufran” and Dante’s poem “The Divine Comedy”, the main work of the great Italian poet. In these two works with a similar plot about a journey to the afterlife of heaven and hell, important universal problems are raised with their subsequent interpretation. The article also raises the question of the possibility of influence of the treatise “Risalatu-l-gufran”, written in the 11th century, on the poem “The Divine Comedy”, written in the 14th century, since in Italy in the 12th-13th centuries.

Europeans became acquainted with its samples through translations, which were intensively carried out in Andalusia, an Arab emirate formed in the south of Spain after its conquest by the Arabs.
