The Glittering of Quranic Lights in Dr. Anvar's Works A Brief Analysis of some of his Quranic Translations and Allusions

Seyyed Amir Mahmud Anvar is an outstanding expert of Persian and Arabic literature and Islamic sciences and is of high scientific standing in both seminary and academic circles. He is famous for giftedness and improvisational poetry composing, which is the result of his gigantic ability to compose a lot of Arabic and Persian poems in praise of Ahl al-Bayt, a rhymed explanation of the Quran, etc. His works depict the link between literature, philosophy and religious gnosticism and offer some beautifullytranslated samples of the Quran into Persian language. His poetic knowledge is so replete with passion and wisdom that it rises to gnostic ascension, worship of God and love of the truth. The secret of this eternity lies in the Holy Quran which has attracted his heart and nourished it. The atmosphere of his works, which are never devoid of Quranic concepts, designates his truth-seeking mentality which has been influenced by the Heavenly Book and nearly all his works, one way or another, signify the influence of the Quran on Persian literature. In this paper, his works have been evaluated in four areas (poetry, literary prose works and religious and gnostic works) and instances of his seeking assistance from the Quran have been cited. Besides, his explanation and translation of some Quranic verses have been securitized.
