Abstract :

Sa’di is one of the leading figures of Persian literature with international reputation. His Bustan and Golestan are among the most influential texts and have exerted deed effects on Iranian’s values and beliefs. Therefore, it is important to know about Sa’di’s central views in these two books. Sa’di's views about God are investigated in his two great above mentioned works after a brief introduction. The results of the study show that Sa’di's familiar God is the God that Islam presents. Sa’di too has insisted on the omnipotence and omnipresence of God in all affairs.
