Context is a background in witch a text is created and understood. This background consists of time and place (i.e. co text of situation) or words and expression witch surround every word (i.e. co text). Concerning the context of situation the question is that in the old texts, specially the literary texts in which direct understanding of context of situation is impossible how it could be reconstructed? According to Halliday and Hasan (1985) this situation or those factors that affect creating a text, are constructed from three elements, with which the context of situation could be described. From this point of view, three elements such as field of discourse, toner of discourse and mode of discourse, are considered as three entrances to any situation and make the selecting a style possible.

The history of didactic literature with its focus on jurisprudence and piety states of affairs in poetry and prose is rooted long into Iran's ancient times at Zoroastrianism and Avesta. Then, in The Sassanid era some the advice of letters for provoking ethical teachings appeared. This was also followed by some Islamic scientists like Ibn- Moghafai, the author of Dinkerd. Within the third era, similar routes were delectable among some pioneers of Iranian poets at the time.  At the glorious time of Persian poetry which dates back to the fourth century, such educational themes were concurrent with famous Iranian poets including Kassaie, Balkhi, Ferdowsi and Roudaki with Kasaie maintaining more excellency in epic themes.  In fact, he has always referred his readers to Godly teachings and humane mannerism. The main themes and focus in his poems are abandoning worldly matters and gaining God's consent. Within earlier times until the fourth century, the major lines of thinking were piety and devoutness with ethicality issues getting a second prominence. This signifies among other things that mere epic tendencies is rather less in those earlier scholars beforeNasirKhosrowGhobadiani though this doesn't imply the absence of such lines of Islamic, ethical thinking at that time. From the fourth century onwards, the appearance of pious thinking in poetry with a religious focus is more brought into being with Kasaiemaintaining morerigor. In this article, an attempt was made to describe such Islamic themes within ancient Iranian era beginning with Sasanians, then the first three periods and finally the fourth century with Kasaie and Abu-ShakourBalkhi respectively.   Manuscript profile
