Shahin Vajdi Zakherdi , Khairullah Mahmoudi (Author in Charge), Akbar Sayadkooh

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rumi"s Masnavi is one of the most important works of educational literature. The best manifestation of the transmission of moral teachings in this great work is manifested in the benefit of the arrangement of the likes of others. Sultan Valad, the son of Rumi, is the first writer to explain the spiritual Masnavi in ​​his Masnavi and his works are influenced by the language and content of this great work. In this research, the proverbs used in the introduction of Sultan Valad, which have not been collected so far, have been selected and their position has been compared with the usage in Rumi"s Masnavi.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this descriptive-analytical dissertation and research has been done as a textual research with library tools and by studying Masnavi, the first letter corrected by Jalaluddin Homayi (1997) and Rumi"s Masnavi corrected by Nicholson (1987).

FINDINGS: By examining the rhetorical layer of structure in Masnavi, proverbs can be seen that are the best tools for transmitting moral teachings. Due to the many functions of the likes of others, mental and sensory words have been used together to understand abstract matters. In the ideological layer, we see the reflection of Rumi"s mystical educational ideas in Masnavi Valdnameh. In the syntactic layer, the use of the combination of Persian and Arabic syntactic structure in proverbs is remarkable. Sometimes there are differences in view and usage, as in these two Masnavi. Many valuable passages of Sultan Valad Masnavi have the same potential as others.

CONCLUSION: Although Sultan Valad"s thought and point of view is a continuation of Rumi"s thoughts in Masnavi and Sultan Valad, like his father, constantly used other parables to explain his moral and mystical views, and in Sultan Valad"s works there are many similarities with There is this great work, the position and quality of use of many proverbs in the birth certificate is different from the spiritual Masnavi.
