Abstract

In the Holy Quran, God Almighty has assigned a surah to His Prophet Yusuf (AS). Mystics have adapted the truths of the Qur'an to the inner self, interpreted the verses of the soul, and finally presented pure ideas about human truth. The works of Ibn al-Farez al-Masri and Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi are also full of such interpretations. This article examines the "facts and details of the story of Prophet Yusuf (AS)" by reflecting on the poems of these two famous poets and mystics. In the present study, first the joint interpretations of these two mystics about Jamal Yusuf (AS) and his dream and the smell of the shirt of Prophet Yusuf (AS) were examined and analyzed, then Jalaluddin Maulana's views about Yusuf (AS) and Zulaikha and the prolongation of his imprisonment Yusuf (AS) was explained. The results show that the Sultan of Lovers and Rumi considered the beauty of Prophet Yusuf (AS) as the manifestation of the beauty of truth and the manifestation of Prophet Yusuf (AS)'s dream in Ibn Farez's poems is an allusion to the mystics of God on whom the true existence of God has been revealed. But Maulana Jalaluddin does not have an interpretive view in this discussion. Ibn Farez considers the sight of the eyes of Prophet Yaqub (AS) by the shirt of Prophet Yusuf (AS) to indicate that he reached the gathering place, which was transmitted from the shirt of Prophet Yusuf (AS) to Prophet Ya'qub (AS), but Maulana the shirt He considers Prophet Yusuf (AS) as a symbol of discovery sciences. Rumi considers Zulaikha as a symbol of the world and considers the reason for the prolongation of the imprisonment of Prophet Yusuf (AS) to be the attention to the creature who are the captives and prisoners of the mortal world.

Abstract

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), in addition to his prophetic status, embodies the image of a mystic who successfully passes different stages of spiritual journey and the struggle against the self, which manifest in various forms such as the “denial of Azar, the sacrifice of his offspring, and the fire of Nimrod”. He ascends from the stage of annihilation in Allah to the station of subsistence by Him and becomes an Allah’s friend. This article employs a descriptive-analytical method to explore the truths and subtleties of the story of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) through reflections on the poetry of Ibn Farid of Egypt and Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, both of whom stand at the pinnacle of theoretical and practical mysticism. In this research, the commonalities in the poetry of these two renowned poets are first examined and analyzed in three sections: "Abraham (peace be upon him) and the Birds", "Abraham (peace be upon him) and the Fire of Nimrod", and "Abraham (peace be upon him) and the Stars". Subsequently, the distinctions in each poet’s interpretation of the stages of Prophet Abraham's (peace be upon him) status, his relationship with Azar, and the sacrifice of his son are elucidated. The findings indicate that Ibn Farid, unlike Molavi, does not adopt an allegorical perspective on the birds. In discussing the fire of Nimrod, Ibn Farid attributes the extinguishing of the fire and its transformation into a rose garden as the result of Abraham’s connection to the state of unity and survival after annihilation. Conversely, Molavi views the fire of Nimrod as the fire of the self, which, when transcended, transforms into flowers and basil. Ibn Farid perceives the stars as manifestations of the Divine, while Molavi argues that the prophets did not initially attain the stage of monotheism and ascribe independent existence to beings. Ibn Farid delves into the inner secrets and allegorical meanings of the rituals of Hajj, considering the status of Abraham as a special guardianship, Mecca as the Divine Presence, and the pilgrim as the manifestation of the Hidden Presence in the four pillars. Molavi, on the other hand, regards Azar and the sacrifice of the son as liberation from the attachments of the self and nature..
