The publication of scientific-research articles in the contemporary period is a good opportunity to share the findings of researchers and inform the audience about the latest scientific achievements. Despite the quantitative growth of the publication of such articles in the last decade, not enough attention has been paid to their evaluation and criticism. In the field of Persian language and literature, one of the fields of research is the examination of the texts of mystics and mystics such as Hafez, Sana'i, and Molavi. In the meantime, Molavi is one of the people who have written many scholars about his opinions and thoughts and have shown his views according to his works. Among Maulavi's works, his spiritual Masnavi has a special place in introducing Maulavi's thoughts and many articles have been written about Maulavi. The purpose of this essay is to review and analyze these works due to their large volume.
