A comparative study of the status of litigation in Shahnameh and policy based on religious teachings

It is very important to know and introduce "Shahnameh" and "Siyasatnameh" in the field of litigation and guidance for comparative comparison of other literary works as well as clarifying the dimensions of epic poetic literature and comparing it with prose works; Because "Siyasatnameh" is not a purely historical book, but presents the author's ideals, especially in the form of a picture of justice. Also, "Shahnameh" is not only the story of Rustam's wars and victories, but also expresses the ideals and beliefs of a nation and, most of all, "litigation" and justice. In this regard, the present study has been compiled by descriptive-analytical method based on library information. Findings show: Ferdowsi and Nezam-al-Molk throughout the "Shahnameh" and "Siyasatnameh" invite the tyrants of the time for litigation and paid attention to the principle of justice, but in "Shahnameh", the issue of litigation has been studied in detail and comprehensively. However, the issue of litigation is briefly mentioned in the "Siyasatnameh".
