Ersal al Masal in Persian works of Ghazali

Works of past writers are considered as valuable heritage for the present and the future. Works of Culture and literature with epistemological theme are the mental input for those with thought and art as they are seen as bridges which relate our present and past and increase our knowledge. The Seljuki period is an era during which there were plenty of arts and skills in Iran. Ahmad Ghazali (died in 520) was one of the Faghis and mystics in Iran. His works that were collected by Ahmad Mojahed are among the most important works of 6th century and are as follows: Bahr-al Haghighat, Resala- al Toyoor, Savaneh, Resalat- ak Eyniyeh, Ghazali letters,Vasiat Nameh, and Maghale Rooh. These works which are in prose mixed with verse try to convey his ideas in mysticism, jurisprudence, religion, ethics, advice and sometimes in code. He made use of literary devices as allegory a lot. So to demonstrate Ghazali'z style we have to study his inclination to Ersal al Masal va Tamsil. The results show that some of the allegories are made by Ghazali himself and some others are borrowed from the previous writers. Moreover; the maximum number of allegories are found in Resaleh Eyniyeh and the minimum number of allegories are found in his letters.
