Abstract :

Rahat-Al-Sodour and Ayat-Al-Sorour (603Ah.) is a historic book by Mohammad-Ibn-Ali-Ibn-Soleiman Raavandi in Seljuk dynasty. In addition to its historic advantages, from its perspicuity of composition and intricacy of the abundant social information, this book is considered as one of the most authentic and beneficial Persian books before the Mongol attack.  The topic of charisma could be compared in this work with the other Persian-language works. One of the other famous Persian-language works is Beihaghi’s History, which had been authorized by Abolfazl Beihaghi, as a historic-literary book, and its main topic is the history of the first Masoud monarchy as the son of Mahmoud Ghaznavi. Therefore, charisma topic could be investigated in comparing these two given works. This topic has a particular glitter in both works. The most significant question mentioned in this query is that how are both authors’ viewpoints to the charismatic myth? It is concluded that although in Rahat-Al-Sodour and Beihaghi’sHistory, the topic of charismatic myth is obvious and traceable, their both viewpoints to this topic is different in concepts and application. The charismatic myth in Rahat-Al-Sodouris presented in the form of function, visual manifestation, celestial endorsement, and stipulation to the charismatic lexicon and in Beihaghi’s History is more conducted in the form and vesture of celestial fatalism, some ceremonial manifestation such as Mehregan festival, the power of hunting the Lion by Masoud, and etc. This research is conducted by the content analysis and using the library-based sources.
