This study delves into the works of the Turkic poet Osman Kemal Efendi, commonly known as Osman Kemali. He was a devoted disciple of Jalal al-Din Rumi and a memorizer of the Quran. Rumi's profound engagement with rational and transmitted sciences, literature, jurisprudence, hadith, Quranic exegesis, and the sayings of Imam Ali (AS) provided the fertile ground for the emergence of the most exquisite panegyrics dedicated to Imam Ali (AS) in the Persian literary tradition. This influence has also inspired Osman Kemali's poetry to be crafted in an ethereal style, embodying a genuine affection for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The significance of the present research lies in the introduction of a poet unreserved in his expression of love for the household of the Prophet. The primary objective of this study is to examine the extent to which Osman Kemali's poetry is influenced by Rumi. The research methodology is predominantly library-based, supplemented by interviews in certain sections of the study. The theoretical framework is grounded in discourse analysis, drawing on the ideas of Fairclough (2001). Findings indicate that Kemali's poetry is deeply influenced by Rumi in terms of theme and meaning, and it can be posited that the meter of his verses closely resembles that of Rumi's. In contrast to Rumi's poetry, which incorporates both personal and impersonal pronouns, Kemali's work is characterized by a restriction to personal pronouns. Another salient feature of Osman Kemali's poetry is his use of allusion; he employs verses, hadiths, and even Rumi's poetry as allusions throughout nearly all of his works, following Rumi's stylistic approach

Sogdian manuscripts are sorted on different subjects, Sogdian Tales could be distinguished as a genre among them. Henning was the pioneer researcher who traced the Footsteps of Panchatantra stories back in Sogdian Tales. Brief narrations from the main story are one of their characteristics. Fragment SI 5704,(a document originally based on Nikolai Nikolaevich Krotkov collection which has been later denoted to the Academy of Science) has been detected as a Sogdian short narration of the 13th story of the first Book of Panchatantra is “The story of a tortoise fallen from the wood”. In the Sanskrit text Viṣṇuśarman, an octogenarian Brahmin who is known as the original Autor of the Book, cites a wise quotation from a person called “Manu”, which is not cited in the Sogdiann Tale. According to Hindu Myths, there are many terms refering to,”Manu”: He is the archetypal man in Indo-Germanic languages its meaning sways between “man” and “Human” .There are also 14 mythical rulers of the World named Manu which will rule over the World a Manvantara. The seventh Manu corresponds to the Biblical and Quranic figure Noah. Each Manu rules a Manvantara which is 306,720,000 years. At our age the seventh Manu is the mythical ruler of the World. In Monier Williams Dictionary, the meaning of Manu is addressed as “The man par excellence” this very same definition is used by Ibn Arabi to describe the “Khalif” or the Term الانسان الکامل is the reason of the creation. This paper addresses the meaning to identify the identification of “Manu” with Ibn-Arabi`s “الانسان الکامل” according to the Perennial Philosophy which is usually taken to indicate that some sort of continuous Theme runs throughout the history of philosophy, that certain enduring and lasting truths are recognizable in the philosophical writings of all historical periods by Tracing MANU`s real Identity. 2- Tracing Manu`s etymology in Indo-Germanic Languages. 3- Proof his identity back in Sanskrit sacred soursec.4- Searching an Alter Ego for him. 5- finding his relation to Al-īnsān Al-kāmel reagarding to him as first Man and Adam the first Man, as a Khalīf in Ibn Arabis thoughts.

The roots of many literary stories can be found in historical narratives. In this research, we focus on four historical and literary narratives that have a special type of deception as their motif. At first, we give a summary of each of these four narratives (descriptive level) and then we explain their commonalities and differences (analytical level). The first narrative is about a Persian man named Zopyrus, who helped Darius the Great to conquer Babylon. The second narrative tells the story of a man from the companions of the ruler of the Hephthalites, who led to the defeat of the Sassanid army by gaining the trust of Peroz I. The third narrative depicts the conflict between crows and owls which ends in favor of the first group with the cleverness and cunning of a crow. The fourth narrative is the story of a Jewish king who, with the trick of his minister, causes internal conflict and mass killing of Christians. In all these narratives, gaining the enemy’s trust by harming oneself is used as a motif, but the method of processing this motif is different in the aforementioned stories. This research, according to its topic and method, is conducted as library research. The findings of this research show that the main plot is the same in these four narratives, but their processing is different. In addition, the historical narrative of Zopyrus can be considered an ancient source for three other narratives; a source that has been neglected until now.

During the years of constitutionalism, khamse region centered on Zanjan was one of the centers of crisis in the country and due to its proximity to important areas of Tehran and Tabriz and the competition of political groups, it spent years of unrest. Meanwhile, in addition to the political crises of constitutionalism, the enmity of the nobility of the region caused many disturbances.According to the policies of the Qajar patrimonialism government during the Naseri and Mozaffari eras, in the years leading to the constitution, the elite and urban landed gentry of Zanjan (Jahanshah Khan Amirafshar, Zulfiqar Khan Asad al-Dawlah) took over each other’s regions and caused many conflicts in Zanjan and They created Tehran.The basic issue of this research is the relationship between the Qajar governance model and the rivalries and conflicts of the landed aristocracy of Zanjan and the consequences and results of these policies and rivalries. According to the model of the patrimonial government, during the period of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, by selling and giving khalese lands to influential people and top groups, the necessary conditions were provided to acquire other lands in the khamse region, and due to the weakness of the executive institutions of Qajar and Those in power in Tehran and Zanjan did not fulfill the wishes of the people.In the following decades, this defeat paved the way for pursuing the demands of the Zanjan landowner nobility, and this time the descendants of nobility were determined to recapture the lands of khamse region, and a period of instability and insecurity arose in Zanjan. The result of these policies and the inefficiencies of the Qajar government and the executive elements in Tehran and Zanjan was the hardship and homelessness of the people. The present article has investigated the issue by collecting library and documentary data and using original sources such as newspapers in a descriptive-explanatory way.

The hands of history are the source of the majority of the protagonists in our lyrical, epic, dramatic, and didactic literature. Bahram Gur is one of these characters, whose rule in historical sources is enriched by legends in literary sources. His popularity has garnered the attention of historians, writers, and artists, among others, among the Sassanid monarchs. This research investigates this character in the fields of history and literature from a descriptive and analytical perspective, utilizing library sources. Because the narratives concerning Bahram Gur have been recounted in historical and literary sources with distinctions, they have all pursued the same objective: the education of society members. This research seeks to address the question of how writers, historians, and writers in general perceive stories as an educational instrument. In order to elucidate this matter, we have first examined the perspectives of historians regarding the aforementioned character. Subsequently, we have examined the character of Bahram in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, Nizami’s Haftpakir, and other historical sources. The results suggest that, despite the fact that a character is the focal point of these studies, distinct analyses have been produced based on their respective perspectives. The objective of historical texts is no longer limited to the mere description of facts when viewed from a literary perspective and utilizing the elements of emotion and imagination. The poet or writer may also aim to achieve other objectives in addition to the creation of beauty. Ferdowsi and Nizami have analyzed and described Bahram’s character. In fact, despite the disparity in their modes of expression, these two leaders of the literary world have occasionally diverged from the historical aspect and have crafted educational narratives that incorporate historical evasions.

The purpose of the present research is to investigate the use of astronomy in Hamidi Maghamat in a descriptive-analytical way and to answer the question of how and for what purpose Hamiduddin Balkhi used astronomy and its tools in Maghamat. Therefore, by extracting samples from this tract, the authors have analyzed it in terms of the mentioned topic. The results of the research show that Hamiduddin Balkhi has used the science of astronomy skillfully and with full knowledge. Allocating an Maghame (20th) in Maghamat to astronomy shows the importance of the subject.

A part of the identity and culture of the people of Iran has been preserved in the framework of native and local games. In Iran land, many local and diverse sports are performed in various ceremonies. Among these games that have gained a national aspect in Iranian culture is the game of polo, which has been passed down from one generation to the next and continues to exist. Polo has a high place in Iranian culture and has gone beyond a mere game and is connected with the value and intellectual system of Iranian society. Our understanding of the polo game relies more on historical texts, literature, and artifacts. But the gap that can be seen in this field is the examination of the phenomena and evidence of polo games from the perspective of intangible cultural heritage. Therefore, the purpose of the present article is to know the place, importance, and explanation of the polo match as one of the components of identity in the culture of Iranian people with a descriptive-analytical method. In order to achieve this goal, the game of polo has been considered in various fields of oral traditions, social customs, and performing arts. First, the toponyms that are connected with polo have been checked. Then, the evidence of playing polo among native and local games has been discussed. And it tried to identify the signs of polo and to express its similarities and differences among different regions. The result of the research showed that the polo game was customary not only among the nobles and elders but also among the ordinary people of Iran. Eleven places related to polo, as well as holding it in different regions of Iran, both on horseback and on foot, are a sign of people's deep connection with this game. The polo match has played an effective role not only as a national game but also as an efficient cultural element in the cultural and social life of Iranian society.This game has reflected the attitudes of Iranians in people's lives and has contributed to the continuity of their cultural traditions.
