Roghayyeh Hadipour , Maryam Mohammadzadeh (Author in Charge), Ramin Sadeghinejhad

Abstract

After the praise for God and respectful comments on the status of The Most High creator, eulogy of the prophet and explaining the life of the reverend prophet is commonly seen within Persian poetry literature. The question is: “what is the status and reflection of the great prophet in Persian poetry in 5th to 7th Hijri calendar centuries?” The goal of the present research is to investigate about the aspects and qualities of prophet eulogy in Persian poetry during the centuries mentioned above. Thus, this study has focused on the discussion and analyses of praises presented in outstanding Iranian poets’ masnavis such as: Sanaee, Nezami, Attar, Molana, and Saadi, using a descriprive-comparative method.
