Praiseworthy voice and its reflection in Persian literature

Taking into account the plentiful of evidence in prose and rhymed works of Persian literature, it can be said that all of the authors of literary works have reverberated some beautiful and durable features of Quran and its sublime wisdom and devoted all their lives to service in the school of Quran and didnt neylet any effort to pursue this path. The emphasis of the holy Prophet regarding the virtue of praiseworthy voice and hadiths quoted from His Majesty, caused the Persian authors and poets, especially mystics and sufis, to turn their attention towards this matter. On the whole, two general views are widely stated in Persian literature about recitation of holy Quran: in the first view, good recitation has been appreciated in prose and rhymed works, and many stories and anecdotes have quoted in its support. In the other view, some of the authors and poets such as Sanai, Saadi, and Jami, in addition to support and emphasis on the former view by some authors such as blamed the blameworthy recitators and idle qaris mostly with a critical and amendatory intention and sometimes with the tools of satire and jesting reminded some valuable points to train and advice. In this dissertation it was tried to analyze and criticize both of these two views.
