Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Background and Objective: The verses and hadiths of Tazkerat al-Nasa’ih are a collection of moral and educational sermons that, by utilizing the verses and hadiths of the Prophet, organize a system of linguistic and semantic signs to guide man on the path of servitude and knowledge of the truth. In combining compelling prose with divine themes, the author has tried to represent the connection between the language of eloquence, mystical thought, and practical ethics The prose structure of the Manshiyan style, on the one hand, relies on a specific and metaphorical expression, and on the other hand, is influenced by the language of the Quran and Hadiths, and provides a manifestation of spiritual teachings about monotheism, repentance, worship, love, justice, and self-knowledge.

METHODOLOGY: The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method and based on library studies, seeks to answer the question: What role do verses and hadiths play in the structure of the Tazkirat al-Nasa"ih?

FINDINGS: The research findings indicate that Hashtroodi, in Tazkerat al-Nasayeh, relying on Quranic verses and Prophetic hadiths, has delved into profound religious concepts. Among these concepts, the praise of God and reliance on Him, drawing lessons from nature, the importance of the love of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and the role of modesty as part of faith have been emphasized. Furthermore, the institutionalization of ethical principles and the necessity of considering the hereafter are evident in these analyses. These findings represent the depth of religious thought and interpretive insights in religious works.”

CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that Tazkret al-Nasa"ih can be considered a manifestation of the continuity of devotional and mystical prose in the Persian tradition, the focus of which is the recreation of the message of revelation in the form of instructive and ritual literature.
