politeness From the View Point of Molana

politeness is one of the most important mystical terms that most of the Sufists have dealt with and there are few mystical books in which there is no trace of this notion. Some of them have a special chapter mainly discussing this important term. This term chiefly means observing the rules in action and speech and the holy Koran and Islamic traditions have paid special attention to it. As the main source of Islamic sufism is the holy Koran and Islamic tradition and sufists have profited this endless supply, it is seen that their point of view is based on the same rules because they have interpreted this term in the light of the holy verse "those who keep the limits by Allah" (The Holy Koran, chapter 9, verse 112.) In this paper, the term "politeness" has been investigated from different angles. First it is considered from the point of view of vocabulary based on trustworthy mystical texts and then after citing a few verses form the Koran, different opinions of some eminent sufists have been stated. I have also tried to use trustworthy mystical texts like al Loma-fi-al-Tasavof, Kashf-al-Mahjoob, Mesbah-al-Hedayah, Resaleh-e-Ghoshairiah, etc., in order to consider the different opinions. Finally the term (politeness) is considerd from the view point of Mathnawi and Divan-e-Shamse Tabrizi.
