The Reflection of Ingratitude in the Mystic allegories

Allegory is one of the most important expressing arrays. Allegory is an inferential artistic and skillful style, with the aim of better transferring of concepts and meanings to the addressees. The definitions by the scholars about allegory are somewhat different with each other. Some consider it as complex metaphor with pseudo-complex form, some have placed idioms in the group of metaphors, and some have regarded styles and some others have considered metaphoric stories as allegories. Despite all the differences, authors have considered mystic allegoric narratives about thankfulness and ingratitude, with precision. Ingratitude indicates ignoring the blessings by the beneficent, and it has considerations that are divided into verbal gratitude for confessing the blessings, cordial thankfulness for God’s blessings and practical thanking regarding obedience to the beneficent. Thanking is analyzed in the rational domain and is one of the mystic aspects. To express reprehension of ingratitude, mystics have benefitted from allegories. The structures of the mentioned allegories have two upper and lower layers. In the lower layer, i.e. in the depth, the upper layer attains meaningful extensions, causing the inclusion to be increased. It is why that allegory is appropriately referred to as the extensive metaphor or the paraphrased symbol.
