Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stylistic studies reveal many literary, intellectual and linguistic features of different works in different eras and contribute to the study of the fields of literary history, grammar, literary criticism and even literary genres. This article examines the structure and the most important stylistic features of one of Noor al-Din Abd al-Rahman Jami"s Masnavi called "Sabha al-Abrar" in three areas of thought, language and literature.

METHODOLOGY: This research has been done by content analysis and library.

FINDINGS: Jami in this Masnavi follows a neat structure; This means that he divides his work into forty contracts and in each contract he first introduces the principle of mystical and moral principles and then mentions an anecdote and allegory to explain that principle and at the end he brings a few verses as prayers. Therefore, in addition to being mystical, this work was created for the education and training of seekers and has an educational aspect.

CONCLUSION: At the linguistic level, the choice of the weight of "verbs, verbs, verbs" has made this system irreplaceable from this point of view. Also, word games in the use of rhyme and line are special features of this system. At the literary level, regardless of the use of confrontation and allegory (which has served to understand the mystical and moral content of the work) there is not much innovation in the work and the element of imitation is seen in all its literary elements and arrays. At the intellectual level, since Jami is considered a follower of the Ibn Arabi school, in his system, among the components of this school, he emphasizes more on the two issues of "unity of existence" and "perfect man". Although Jami was a follower of the Naqshbandi school, there is no sign of the sect"s teachings in the morning.
