Utilizing the Idea of Oneness in the Persian Poetry of Safi Hirani

Abstract

This research, entitled (Utilizing the Idea of Oneness in the Persian Poetry of Safi Hirani), is n attempt to define this idea as one of the foundations of Sufi thought, and how to employ it in the Sufi ghazals of this poet. Oneness is basically a vague and multi-dimensional concept, and it has been defined and discussed in various Sufi schools and in Successive eras of Sufism, in which the great Sufis spoke in a theoretical way, and the people of Al-Shatah and loves dealt with it, sacrificing their heads and their lives in order to raise its banner. This means that the term has been explained in Sufi literature in various ways. Whether it is the one who proposed it in general terms, such as monotheism, or the one who used it in addition, as we find it in the school of Ibn Arabi, such as the unity of existence and the unity of witnesses, in addition to the terms unity in multiplicity or multiplicity in unity. We find this idea employed prominently in Safi Hirani’s Persian ghazals. On the one hand, he embodies it through his behavior and his mystical status, and on the other hand, it becomes a central point in the thoughts of his followers, the Dervishes, so that all other ideas serve this pivotal idea and the literature of Sufism with all its characteristics is organized into the strand of his ghazals. Its symbols and deep meanings.
