         Complaint is one of the sub-literary themes and types, which means heartache and complaining about the painful and agonizing events of life and recounting the pain, despair and gloom of its speaker. The important issue is that basically complaints are diverse in terms of subject and content, and many factors such as the sensitivities and mental conditions of the poet himself, as well as the social and political factors governing his life environment, affect the variety of themes and concepts in the complaints. In this article authors try to answer this question: "What are the most important complaint themes of the Rumi in Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi?" The hypothesis of the article indicates the existence of three macro themes, cultural, political and religious. The findings of this article by using a descriptive and analytical method showed that cultural complaints include: complaints about the envious, cunning and arrogant, artless imitators, skeptics, ungrateful, cloak-wearers and hypocrites. Complaints with political themes include: complaints against tyrannical rulers, oppressive governments, power seekers, and finally, Complaints with religious themes include: complaints against religious and false claimants, lovers of the world, irreligious people, and religion sellers.

            The problem of reconciling predestination (jabr) and free will (ekhtiyār) has preoccupied the minds of many Islamic theologians. Shi'ism holds an intermediate position between the Ash'arite and al-Jahmiya predestination and the Mu'tazilite doctrine of freedom (tafwid). Mowlānā Jalāl-al Din Balkhi, the Persian mystic, is an Ash'arite himself, yet his deep mystical inclinations give a different color to this central issue of Kalam (Islamic theology). Considering his ideas about "Love", this article studies Mowlānā's method in solving the problem of jabr and ekhtiyar.     Manuscript profile
