Ashraf Mikaeli (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The Masnavi of Maulana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi is one of the great mystical works that provides many teachings to the seekers of the path with its revelatory and mystical infrastructure. With his literary and mystical taste, Rumi has considered many aspects of the appearance and meaning of the verses of the Holy Quran, including the rites of prayer and supplication in Masnavi.

METHODOLOGY: The findings of this study have been done in a descriptive-analytical manner and based on a working document and a comparative comparison between the issue of prayer in the Quran Maryam and Rumi"s Masnavi. At the beginning of this research, theoretical foundations have been considered, then the examples of prayers in Masnavi have been analyzed and analyzed in a comparative study with the Holy Quran.

FINDINGS: Prayer and supplication and its conceptual affiliations and belongings are found in Rumi"s thought and in his intellectual system in the spiritual Masnavi according to the conditions and levels of existence of individuals. These manifestations in the elusive structure of Rumi"s mind have different meanings in appearance but inwardly, and that is the only approximation to the truth.

CONCLUSION: In Rumi"s thought, in the matter of prayer, both etiquette and etiquette should be avoided. Therefore, prayer etiquette is one of the most important semantic structures in Masnavi, which is the bedrock of Rumi"s groundbreaking attitude.
