Mohammadhossein Sadeghidarvishi , Yadolah Maleki (Author in Charge), Jafar Taban

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In Islamic culture, like different human cultures, much has been said about the world and its examples. The great Persian poets have often dealt with this issue based on their religious attitude and intellectual nature. Rumi, as one of the greatest poet-mystics in Persian literature, has also expressed his views and position about the world instead of Masnavi. This study intends to search for its roots and bases among verses, hadiths and narrations by examining the rhetorical images of the world in Masnavi. In fact, the main question of the present study is which positive or negative images of the world in the spiritual Masnavi overlap with the views of the Holy Quran and other religious texts, and to what extent is the Masnavi influenced and inspired by these texts in presenting these images?
METHODOLOGY: The method of conducting the present research will be library type in terms of content analysis. Thus, in the beginning, by studying the Masnavi Manavi and other related sources, as well as by using various books, and referring to various electronic databases and using publications and magazines that are related to the research topic, the desired materials are filtered and then They are categorized comparatively according to the content of the content.
FINDINGS: Rumi has a Quranic and revelatory view in expressing most of the images of the world, and by mastering the divine book, while being influenced by verses and hadiths, he describes the world in a completely beautiful way.
CONCLUSION: The miracle and beauty of his work is that these descriptions and images have been created in a eloquent and allusive way. Also, the negative and reprehensible images of the world are presented in this work far more than the positive images (almost twice), however, in no case is life itself presented as low and worthless, but it may be presented as low for human beings.
