Abstract :

Mourning is different in Minab and Muscat, on the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ​​Oman. It is obvious that Ashura poems in "Minab" and "Muscat" are very different in various aspects, including "literature" (language, dialect, dialect).In Minab, most people speak Persian. Therefore; Most of the poems in this region are in Persian, which is sometimes recited in the Minabi dialect. There is a great variety of Minabi laments in terms of weight. Minab Ashura poems have been composed in the form of Masnavi, Mustazad, Tarji Band, Ode, Ghazal, Bahr Tavil, etc., which causes a variety of themes and weights. In Muscat, the capital of Oman, the common language is Arabic. Therefore, the lamentations of this region are in Arabic. In Minab, Ashura ceremonies, whether Ashura poetry night or Ashura ceremonies, are held in the form of non-governmental organizations and the majority of people are interested in this ceremony, but in Oman and this issue, it is different in Muscat. The predominant religion in Muscat is Sunni. Therefore; These ceremonies are also held at the Iranian embassy, ​​which can be used by the Shiites of this region. In the end, it is concluded that although the lament in Minab is different from the lament in Muscat in terms of language, but it has commonalities such as the use of literary arrays, content, and so on.The necessity of conducting this research is determined by the position and importance of Ashura among Muslims.
