We first briefly explain the main theories about the nature of religious language. Then, some paradigm examples of Masnavi in which Rumi has expressed his views about religious language will be interpreted. Finally, it will be shown that, according to Rumi, religious language should be considered as mainly univocal than equivocal. This research also helps us to understand how Mawlavi has been influenced by his predecessors, and moreover shows his influence over the later religious and theological doctrines.مولویMawlavi; Religious Language; Mhttps://bahareadab.com/downloadPDF/115.pdfhttps://bahareadab.com/downloadPDF/115.pdfhttps://bahareadab.com/article/مقاله نهم : مولوی و دو رویکرد دربارۀ چیستی زبان دین: اشتراک معنوی و اشتراک لفظیhttps://bahareadab.com/en/article/Mawlavi and Two Approaches to the Nature of Religious Language: Univocality and Equivocality
