Abstract

This article entitled a “comparison between Molla Ahmad Naraqi's Taqdis Masnavi and Molavi's Masnavi” examines and analyzes mystic, ethical and Kalamic statues of these two works, from the perspective of common forms and content. In this resreach anecdotes, themes, thoughts and common views of the two works were extracted and then analyzed. Common mystical stations are detected in most themes. Despite the commonalities in presenting the beliefs, Hadithes and Verses used in the two works, there are differences between them in some cases. In Taqdis Masnavi, despite being inspired by Rumi's Masnavi, there are allegorical stories that do not exist in Masnavi. Mullah Ahmad Naraqi’s Kalam is taken from the basic principles and sub-principles of Shiite mysticism, which is combined with practical mysticism and conduct, and clearly stated within the framework of the principles of Sharia and also mystically expressed in a restrained way. Although Kalam does not have the same steadfastness and mastery as in the Masnavi, but it has a high position among Shiite poem and Persian language and literature and is far from any advocacy of a superstitious sect or false thought.
