Analyzing the Status and Performance of Molana’s Views and Poems in Shahid Morteza Motahari’s Works

Outside the boundaries of the academic atmosphere, Persian literature has stood the test of time in contemporary thoughts, social and political movements, and among people as well. In fact, literary studies in this setting denote understanding the role and performance of literature in historical vicissitudes. Accordingly, the thoughts and poems of Molana Jalal al-Din Mohammad Balkhi in Morteza Motahari’s works are tracked and analyzed. The works that corresponded to content analysis are actually pieces that do not connote a common link with literature at first sight. However, in-depth analysis shows the significance of literature, specifically the thoughts and poems of Molana. Meanwhile, the results show that Motahari has reinforced some of his views by basing them on Masnavi’s pieces and structural aspects of these poems and, in the light of such works he has weakened the discourse of his counterparts. Hence, by rebuilding Motahari’s opinion on Molana, the status of thoughts and poems by this iconic figure in Persian literature in Motahari’s point of view, and consequently the unique value and performance of this view in one of the most important sociopolitical movements of the contemporary era have been discussed.
