Women in Mawlawi's Poems

Relying on their God given nature, women can play a crucial role in Creation. Mawlawi, the famous Iranian poet and mystic, by referring to Qoranic versus and the life history of holy women such as the Virgin Mary, Āsiya, the Pharaoh's wife, Mose's mother and Belgheys, tells us how such blessed ladies were able to get close to God. There is no different between men and women in possessing human virtues and getting close to God. Women may also lead men in this respect, but ignorance may cause their fall.
