Abstract :
Although a lot of valuable books and essays have been written about Ghadir speech and the unique man of history, Imam Ali; there are thousands secrets which have not been discovered yet. The words told by Prophet Mohammad in Ghadir speech about the Imam Ali's merits allows gnostic poets to use the plenty of gnostic concepts expressed in this speech as a model in their own gnostic issues. Maulana Jalaleddin Mohammad Balkhi is one of prominent poets in this domain who could state belief-related bases of Ghadir through its literal modeling and make a contribution to revive the message of Ghadir. Since this speech is full of Gnosticism and knowledge, this article is an attempt to investigate some important gnostic manifestations (guardianship, ideal human, intuition, unity of guardians' souls) in poems of Maulana. The manifestation of guardianship in Maulana's works is one of thousands attractive manifestations in Ghadir speech. Molavi, as a devotee of Imam Ali, is aware of his virtues and has introduced Imam Ali as divine light, origin of divine guardianship, intuition master, source of goodness, ideal human prototype who has experienced intuitive observations, and pioneer of disciples.
