Abstract

Sanayi is one of the Persian poets who have paid a special attention to Quran
in their writings. As a conscious Muslim and a poet deeply affected by the
rhetoric aspect of Quran, Sanayi considers the main feature of Quran's
miracle, its eloquent words and particular and inimitatable order of words and
its comprehensive meanings which embrace all the knowledge of human
beings. Accordingly he calls the nation of Islam to make the best of this
fountain of spiritual life and source of guidance besides the prophet's progeny.
He believes in order to benefit from the light of guidance of this divine
word,one should require both outward and inward purity and he should
deliberate on it by an intellect enlightened by this divine light. Only then he
will be able to see the hidden truth of Quran and understand its ambiguous
verses. The only possible way to reach the core of religion and attain
certainty is by following this path; otherwise Quran will not show its real face
to his readers and they will be deprived from the remedial script of Quran. He
asserts that on the day of resurrection, Quran will complain from those
believers not acting according to Quranic teachings.
