Abstract :

The purpose of the paper is to show to what extent Mowlana was interested in some elements of Shiite. Though in spite of what some Shiite Muslims he cannot be considered as a Shiite. The evidences found in Shams' lyrics and his works states that such a mystic poet loves Ali not as the fourth Imam of Muslims, rather, by far because of his traits and his perfectness. Accordingly, he symbolically, sometimes as a reality, points out to whatever associates with him. Other than that, Mowlana have paid attention to Imam Hossein and Karbala and martyrdom in some of his lyrics. Another point dealt with in this paper is the kind of impression Mowlana gains out of such ritual cases because one can find out in many of his hints that rather than a conscious and historical way he views the matters with an unconscious and mythical approach.
