Persecution from Quran's view and its Reflection in Sa adi's Golestan

Persecution and oppression are from the most important subjects that Holy Quran vastly talks about it and avoids us; while doing or not doing it, can have the positive or negative effect of our social, practical and moral life. The present article attempts to express the persecution issue in Quran and its reflection in Sa’adi’s Golestan and its roots, reasons and kinds (religious, social and individual) are studied as well. Examples from Quran and narrations as well as some from Golestan are brought to prove this claim.
