Abstract

Having a short hesitation in Masnavi-e-Molavi, we will notice that the main motifs of Masnavi's stories are the roaring springs of Koran and Islamic concepts which have been stated through coded language, which is the particular feature of Molavi's thought. In this paper I have tried to study the motifs of Masnavi's stories carefully. First I have shown Molna's power on different Persian and Arabic verses and poses, and religious texts, then the focus is turned to this point that Molana sees his deductions more important than anything else, and he disregards the source and the form of the stories, where this deduction is stated through a magic and effective language by which his readers are charmed. The other point is that Molana has used Koran, Hadith books, interpretations, mythology, and anecdotes in his stories. Masnavi along with Molana's other stories are either his initiatives or his reinventions from oral and common culture , so the general result of Molana's language and particular statement in Persian poetry and mysticism become clear.
