Abstract
One of the important intellectual foundations of Islamic mysticism is the belief in the kingdom of the soul and its derivation from the Alawite world and its confinement in the earthly body. In the Islamic world, Ibn Sīnā first portrayed this belief in Ayniyya ode with an allegory Ibn Sīnā's allegory is shaped by the symbol of Varqā or pigeons, and this pigeon descends from its high place and is captured in body cage. In one of the stories of Tāqdīs, the story of Parrot and Shah, Mulla Ahmad Narāqi advances belief in the fall of the soul, like Ayniyya ode, with the allegory of the bird. At first glance, it is obvious that the bird in Tāqdīs is parrot, and in Ayniyya is pigeons, as well as the language of Tāqdīs, Persian and its poetic form is Mathnavi, while the language of Ayniyya ode is Arabic and its poetic form is Ode. However, the points of sharing and differentiating these two works require careful examination. The present article deals with this issue. Accordingly, the main issue of the present study is the expression of the points of commonality and differentiation between the story of parrot and shah from Mathnavi Tāqdīs Mulla ahmad Narāqi and Ibn Sīnā's Ayniyya ode. Methodology, background and purpose : Research Methodology The method of this article is analytical-comparative method, considering that the base of allegory of both poems is the same, commonalities and differentiations in paying this allegory will be determined, analyzed and compared with each other.
