Abstract
One of the research areas between Iranian and Arab cultures is common proverbs. By examining ancient and contemporary proverbial books in these two cultures, we encounter numerous similar proverbs, with contemporary ones being more prevalent in both cultures. These common proverbs sometimes share themes and, at times, are identical. According to the author's research, the highest similarity among contemporary Arabic proverbs is observed between Persian and Iraqi proverbs, especially in the city of Baghdad. Many similar proverbs can be found between these two cultures, and notably, several Persian proverbs are commonly used in both Persian and Kurdish languages among them.
