A Research on Mohammad Karimkhan-e-Kermani’s Masnavi and his Mystical Thoughts

Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaei's successor and the major leader of the sect's Mystical-ideological school is Mohammad Karimkhan-e-Kermani, the leader of the Sheykhiyeh sect in Kerman. One of his works is a Masnavi with over 1,900 verses based on the Masnavi-e-Ma'navi. The authors' goal is to analyze and critique the above-mentioned work from the poet's mystical perspective and school of thought. Document analysis, descriptive and qualitative content analysis are used in this study. This work is described as a remembrance of Shiite theories that have been presented critically and definitively. In most cases, the language is both old and literary. Mohammad Karimkhan-e-Kermani has always regarded Molavi as his own model, composing several verses similar to Masnavi's verses. The work's narrative structure is based on main and secondary anecdotes, similar to the Masnavi-e-Ma'navi. The messages of the stories have been expressed directly in the majority of the stories.
