Relationship between Human and God in Khaje Abdollah Ansari’s Monajatnameh: A Discourse Analysis Perspective
Monajatname of Khajeh Abdullah Ansari is one of the most important mystical texts in which Khajeh speaks to the Creator using a delicate language and melodic prose. The conversations are replete with religious and mystical experiences. Tending to share with the interlocutors a different type of Human-God relationship, the utterances that are close to the mystical level extend beyond the common beliefs and general doctrines of a Muslim. This shows Khaje's devotion to Kharghani. It also indicates the attraction of mystical discourse alongside the jurisprudential and theological discourses. The authors of the present study try to categorize the utterances and their relationship with God into three discourse fields: romantic, treacherous, and shrewd. The method of the study is critical discourse analysis by which the structures of the utterances are evaluated and explained in three different levels: description, interpretation, and illustration. The results of this study show that, from a discourse point of view, the relationship between humans and God in Monajatname encompasses a vast scope of fear and asceticism, love, and shrewdness supporting various discourse aspects and truth regimes to which these conversations belong.
