A Comparative Study of Iranian Justice in Shahnameh and Arabic Sources

In the glorious mansion of "Shahnameh", justice, leaders and anti-oppression are some of the magnificent columns. Amazing similarity of the justice system of Iranians in Shahnameh and Arabic sources shows a common cultural and intellectual origin of the two. Ferdowsi wrote Sahnameh, with the motive of friedship, in literary and epic style in Persian. Whereas, Arabic sources have been written with religious, historical, literary and ethical motives where Iranian subjects can be seen in reference and parenthetic in hidden layers of the texts. Dramatic differences between the Shahnameh and Arabic texts on the one hand and very close resemblance of the Iranian justice in both sources show a new angle in recognizing Shahnameh, because the Arabic sources known as "the head mistress in using others" in addition to explaining justice in Ancient Iran are indicators of the amount of equity, fraudulent and insight on Ferdowsi in presenting Iranians’ intellectual and cultural foundations and acquit him of the alloy exaggeration and prejudice.
