Religious Teachings in Seven Exploits of Rustam

Intellectual infrastructures of a literary work represent the plannerʹs knowledge and intuition. Shahnama is one of the selected literary works in which the ideological dimensions of the authorʹs personality, as a Shiʹa poet, is quite manifest. Many of the religious teachings offered in Shahnama are directly originated from the Qurʹan. These components are noteworthy both in roots of religion such as: theism, monotheism, return to God, and justice and in branches of religion such as: prayer, jihad (holy strive), and enjoining the good. This article mainly includes a research on haft khan-i Rustam (seven exploits of Rustam) from the ideological and religious point of view and is written in the librarian style (based on sources and references), with the research findings presented in a descriptive form. The haft khan-i Rustam has frequently been dealt with and analyzed from different literary perspectives, but its religious teachings have been neglected; thus, this article can be helpful from this viewpoint.
