“The Other” is a philosophy concept which has been discussed in philosophers’ works like Heidegger, Sartre, Buber and Levinas since twentieth century. Michael Bakhtin, Russian theoretician, has entered this concept in the literature area and he has searched it in literary text. However, the concept of “The Other” hasn’t been discussed as an issue in Islamic philosophy, but it has been investigated this phenomenon in literary text in different ways such as lingual, ethical and religious minority. Mawlānā’s book, Masnavi-e-Manavi, is one of the most valuable Persian poem book which contained the concept of “The Other”. Mawlānā has got two views in this book. Both views were risen from his thoughts, personality features and the cultural necessities of that time in society.In the first view, he discussed the former concept of “The Other” in the form of school jurisprudent in the society of that era. He narrated the judgments, which he hadn’t had any roles in making them. They contained a kind of conflict with “The Other” in the form of contempt, ejection and negation.In the second view, he had completely changed the concept of “The Other”. He had defined the concept of “The Other” based on his thoughts and personal experiences. Although, poet is a narrator of the others thoughts in the first view, he himself defined and formed the knowledge in the second view. In this new way, the poet with gnostic inspiration didn’t accept the former believes and he wouldn’t repeat those thoughts. He narrated the human and existence with humanity and gnostic views. In this way, he redefined the concept of “The Other” and made far difference with the first one. In this article, after discussing theoretical views about the concept of “The Other", the researcher has investigated Mawlānā’s views in two ways: the jurisprudent world and the gnostic world.

Shams-e-Maghrebi, the eighth and the early ninth century poet, is a real Sufi with a tendency towards Islamic Mysticism. He is inspired by Ibn Arabi and some other schools such as Pantheism, Buddhism and Christianity which make up his style. In ode (Qazals) he appears as a mystical character. In terms of structure and meaning his odes are of an absolute form and of a logical unity. The words and idioms which are utilized in the poems are sometimes difficult to understand. The use of Arabic words is considered to be of a high number. The Meditation of the poet seems to be something between Sanaee and Attar. Throughout his Divan, he has denoted many Sufi idioms as: mirror, morality, appearance, union with God and so on. The idioms show his willing towards Sufi approach, although he is an Aref as well.

Semiotics leads to the extraction of signs that represent the functions of discourse. Understanding the meaning through the formation and reaching the depth of the word reveals the relationship between these signs and the cognitive and sensory functions and reveals the type of discourse system. Among the valuable Persian books, when it comes to Masnavi words, they are incomplete, and it is worth analyzing silence, but the thought on this interesting and real image and understanding the relations between references and meaning through unique mystical interpretations and its combination with the world literature in the field of modern literary theories can inspire the Maulana theorists in theories provided by theologians of terminology. This research answers that question; which Greimas's discourse systems find in Ney-Name. In addition, examines the techniques that achieve discursive functions and, through a descriptive-analytical approach, examines the interaction between the sign and the meanings in the Ney-Name. This essay shows that in order to understand meaning, we must derive the signs that are understood from different cognitive and sensory functions, and they find out in the interplay between them the resulting discourses.

Among mythologists, Ibn Arabi, in his ontology, expresses some sort of Trinity in the creation of God, from which it is possible to explain the phenomenon of the proliferation of unity. Ibn Arabi, in addition to teaching subjects such as the truth of Muhammadyya and love, uses logical propositions such as Soghra and Kobra and the middle one to explain creation. Therefore, besides the subject, he can pay attention to one and make half of the creation dependent on his willingness. Knows To illustrate this, it refers to various examples, such as science and the universe. But in the Christian Trinity of Jesus, the agent of human salvation and the spirit of Alcudus is the agent of salvation with nature (Father). However, the belief in the divinity of all three entities in Christianity cannot be combined with Abrahamic monotheism, as it is explicitly rejected in the holy text of the Qur'an and belief in the divinity of Jesus (PBUH) is considered to be disbelief.

Islamic communities are infected with severe combination of mind and behavior. After a few centuries of development in civilization of Islamic communities, invasion of various enemies and outbreak of successive wars, and internal clashes as well as excommunication of Muslims by some Islamic faiths, the Islamic community went through a regression toward barbarism. This regression came along with acceptance of dominating cultures that revealed its scientific potentiality in material technology during recent centuries and had a remarkable advancement in these arenas. This is how the life style of mind and behavior combination took shape so that not only didn't it bring about development, but it also caused the regression of Islamic communities and domination of enemies of religion and nations. By the study of life style in Islamic communities and the cause of recent problems in the Islamic world, the writer endeavors to account for a solution and try to prove that the only way left is turning back toward Islamic life style via application of the Koranic, Islamic, and mystical teachings. Because the loftiest and most comprehensive life style is a program that is extracted from divine knowledge and revelation teachings. To this end, the educated Muslims have presented their careers in proportion to the philosophical scientific approach and their learnings from Islam and their findings. Amidst these, mystics have also expressed some instructions on achieving spiritual life and optimal living according to their learnings from Islam and their own intuitive and internal findings. It is obvious that life style mostly deals with behavior; however, determining behavior is overshadowed with ideas, beliefs, and findings. Manuscript profile

Any time one delves deep into Rumi's thoughts, a new aspect appears before him as if it is the first time one faces such a thought. However, this time the surprise is greater because the new ethic school named ethic of care raised through developments in human psychology and psychoanalysis in the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe had been achieved and raised by Rumi rigorously and of course more comprehensively centuries ago. This matter is sufficient to justify his ethics as wonderful, which is still an example of moral teachings.One of the approaches for ethics of care is emotion whose layout in the works of Rumi has been deeply studied in this paper highlighting the fact that Rumi's ethical emotion started and ended with God. It deserves reflection that in western ethical school, emotion is created based on human one. And only such a drawback can challenge the whole school. Manuscript profile

From the beginning of Persian poetry the essence of protest and social commitment is seen in the works of poets. The protest is a category of literature in which the enlightened mind expresses dissatisfaction with the status quo in order to express the problems of society and intellectual and consciousness. The committed poets respond with indifference by virtue of the mission and responsibility they feel on their own depending on the conditions of the various abnormalities they see especially in the social and political structure.Attar is a protest critic who not only does not hide in his sharp eyes not only the least slip of people, rulers, leaders and imams of society but even sometimes he does not see the system of creation as good order and curses it clicks on it from the tongue of rabble. The protest accounted for a considerable percentage of the tales of Attar's Masnavi and has a long history in Islamic culture and each of the scholars of the Islamic world has expressed their protest in a particular way from a special point of view. One can say that the most prominent dimension of the personality of the guilty people in the writings of Attar is that they are in fact the language of social protest and social criticism of the society of the disputed age of the seventh and eighth century. In this paper, it is tried to identify the social context and factors that influence the formation of the personality of the unreasonable rationales in the era of Attar and its relation to the school of protest and the most important character of the mad wise of Attar age that is "being protesting and social critic" in some of his stories is considered as an example.
