Kindness the Relationship Between God and Creation Global Journal of HUMAN SOCIAL SCIENCE Linguistics & Education Volume 13 Issue 4 Version 1.0 Year 2013 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Kindness the Relationship between God and Creation By Dr. Abdolmajid Mohagheghi Yasooj University, Yasouj, Iran Abstract - In Islamic Gnosticism the basis of creation is inherent affection(Hob) of God toward its own essence. Then He resolved to observe its perfection in a perfect mirror. In the vision of erotic school's Gnostics this mirror is the existence of the prophet Mohammad (God's blessing be on him)-and consequently messengers and saints of God- who directly enjoyed the kindness (Mohabat) of eternal true-love (Mahbub) and through him He has created the universe. So the survival and continuity of creation is based on kindness and love. Only a Gnostic can understand this and also comprehend the epitome of all divine names and attributes-including kindness; because by controlling concupiscence on the one hand it has dominated on its body and senses through universal traveling and has tamed the world and on the other hand it has removed darkened and bodily veils of the heart through movement of soul in order to manage to see the beauty of God inwardly, and visit and join to him. In fact, he reached a position ''in which the essence is abstracted from its all trends, desires and tendencies, so that its willing is raised and becomes the willing of God; that is, true-love, affection and Moheb become one thing.

  • Causes of the Rise and Flourishing of Civilizations
    www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 5 May 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Causes of the rise and flourishing of civilizations Habibullah hazem Abstract A cursory glance at human history makes it very clear that civilizations are born as human beings, reach maturity and growth, and collapse and die due to more internal causes. The death of civilizations is something that history has talked about a lot and it is called forgotten civilizations. In the science of history and more in the philosophy of history, the issue of how the causes and factors of the emergence, flourishing and destruction of civilizations are mentioned and history analysts study these causes and factors. According to them, the mentioned causes and factors are natural and in the field of events related to natural and human laws. But in intra-religious analysis, looking at causes and factors is done from another angle; The Qur'an, with the aim of guiding human beings, looks at events from an educational point of view. On this basis, each of the events is closely related to the issues of punishment and encouragement of human beings and finds meaning and meaning with monotheism and its belongings. Although it is necessary to look at the events and their causes from the perspective of philosophy of history and natural traditions and laws, but these traditions are closely related to human actions and behavior. In a comprehensive analysis, although earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters are related to natural laws, but human actions are effective in its creation and emergence, and these actions can have a positive and negative impact on natural laws and nature.

  • A Contribution to the Study of the Persian Concept of Âberu 113
    A Contribution to the Study of the Persian Concept of Âberu 113 Magdalena Zaborowska* PL ISSN 02398818 HEMISPHERES Vo l. 29, No. 1, 2014 A Contribution to the Study of the Persian Concept of Âberu Abstract The concept of âberu is one of those key concepts in Iranian culture which are very hard to define. In this paper the author attempts to explain its philosophical meaning, both by philological analysis based on dictionary sources and by placing it within the context of Iranian, pre-Islamic and Islamic culture. Emphasizing the bond between the idea of water and the concept of âberu, as well as defining it as veil woven from values and principles that protects humans; thus enables an understanding of its significant status among Iranians in contemporary culture. Because loss of âberu or its destruction is commonly understood in the terms of a threat to life, many actions undertaken by Iranians are motivated by the desire to preserve it. Since various methodological approaches can be applied to the study of the concept of âberu, this article should be viewed only as an small contribution to reviling its complexity. There is no doubt that understanding another culture requires familiarizing oneself with its fundamental concepts. While representatives of a particular culture often refer to such concepts and ideas in an attempt to facilitate intuition for others they usually remain unintelligible and unclear. Grasping their meaning is a difficult task as most of them are culturally rooted and refer to cultural experience. Decoding these ideas may however help in understanding how people think, with reference to their value systems and beliefs.

  • The Effect of Tolerance on Balancing Social Relations in Terms of Molana’S Point of View in Masnawi
    Journal of History Culture and Art Research (ISSN: 2147-0626) Tarih Kültür ve Sanat Araştırmaları Dergisi Vol. 6, No. 3, June 2017 Revue des Recherches en Histoire Culture et Art Copyright © Karabuk University http://kutaksam.karabuk.edu.tr مجلة البحوث التاريخية والثقافية والفنية DOI: 10.7596/taksad.v6i3.986 Citation: Kalesara, G., & Mashoor, P. (2017). The Effect of Tolerance on Balancing Social Relations in Terms of Molana’s Point of View in Masnawi. Journal of History Culture and Art Research, 6(3), 1158-1175. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7596/taksad.v6i3.986 The Effect of Tolerance on Balancing Social Relations in Terms of Molana’s Point of View in Masnawi Ghasem Yaghubinezhad Kalesara*1, Parvindokht Mashoor2 Abstract Fresh perceptions and variations in concepts introduced by Molana are among the beautiful effects of Masnavi. It is full of various ploys and mystical paraphrases which imply a new meaning in social issues. In this paper, after a short study of tolerance and its background in Islamic culture and western civilization, it has been discussed socially in Molana’s period. The researchers try to explain tolerance on the basis of two standpoints, by believing that it has a deep influence on balancing human relations. Firstly, we want to know if it is a heavenly or a secular issue since our mystical works talk about an inner source while modern thought is focused on the scientific and experiential roots of wisdom. But in the second step we investigate the relationship between the tolerance and its benefit for the human social rights. Although Molana’s attitude in most of Masnavi’s poems relies on the traditional points of view, this study has realized his mind clarity and vigilance and has come to valuable deductions.

  • The Culture of Reconciliation. the Moral Aspect of Speech in Saʿdi's
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXXI, Z. 1, 2018, (s. 109–126) MAGDALENA RODZIEWICZ The Culture of Reconciliation. The Moral Aspect of Speech in Saʿdi’s Teachings Abstract The 13th-century Persian poet Saʿdi from Shiraz is considered to be one of the most prominent representatives of medieval Persian ethical literature. His works full of moralizing anecdotes were well known and widely read not only in Persia, but in the other parts of the Islamic world as well. Due to his highly humanistic approach, the relations between people were one of the most important issues discussed by the poet. This article is an attempt to define the status of ‘speech’ in Saʿdi’s moral imagination and to show how it becomes a key instrument in shaping relations with others. In the poet’s opinion, the right words reasonably spoken, just like an appropriate silence, shape the relationship between people and help them avoid conflict and open dispute. Quarrels and confrontations, according to the poet, not only damage a person literally by exposing his flaws and imperfections of character, thereby compromising his reputation (aberu), but may also undermine the basis of social life, generating hostility between people. That is why Saʿdi urges his readers to use soft and gentle speech in dealing with people and always behave in a conciliatory manner in response to aggression and rudeness. Highlighting the moral aspect of speech, Saʿdi shows how kind words form an invisible veil between people, which should be preserved if man desires to maintain his image, good name and dignity. Keywords: Persian moral literature, Saʿdi, ethics, moral conduct, adab, aberu, taʿarof, face, human relations, speech In many cultures, the highest-ranking relation a human being was capable of entering into was his relationship with God.

    PREDICT: PERSIAN REVERSE DICTIONARY APREPRINT Arman Malekzadeh Amin Gheibi ∗ Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Amirkabir University of Technology Amirkabir University of Technology Tehran, Iran Tehran, Iran [email protected] [email protected] Ali Mohades Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Amirkabir University of Technology Tehran, Iran [email protected] May 4, 2021 ABSTRACT Finding the appropriate words to convey concepts (i.e., lexical access) is essential for effective communication. Reverse dictionaries fulfill this need by helping individuals to find the word(s) which could relate to a specific concept or idea. To the best of our knowledge, this resource has not been available for the Persian language. In this paper, we compare four different architectures for implementing a Persian reverse dictionary (PREDICT). We evaluate our models using (phrase,word) tuples extracted from the only Persian dictionaries available online, namely Amid, Moein, and Dehkhoda where the phrase describes the word. Given the phrase, a model suggests the most relevant word(s) in terms of the ability to convey the concept. The model is considered to perform well if the correct word is one of its top suggestions. Our experiments show that a model consisting of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units enhanced by an additive attention mechanism is enough to produce suggestions comparable to (or in some cases better than) the word in the original dictionary. The study also reveals that the model sometimes produces the synonyms of the word as its output which led us to introduce a new metric for the evaluation of reverse dictionaries called Synonym Accuracy accounting for the percentage of times the event of producing the word or a synonym of it occurs.

  • Privacy in the Houses of Eastern Parts of Iran, During the Transition Period with an Emphasis on the Architecture of Housing Entrances
    Creative City Design / Vol. 3, No. 1, 2020, 102-109. Privacy in the houses of eastern parts of Iran, during the transition period with an emphasis on the architecture of housing entrances Sepideh Mousavi1, Mohsen Tabassi2, Fatemeh Mehdizaheh Seraj3 1. Ph. D Student, Department of Architecture, Mashhad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Mashhad, Iran 2. Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, Mashhad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Mashhad, Iran 3. Professor, Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran Submit Date: 2020.11.27, Accepted Date: 2021.01.03 Abstract The culture of the West gradually penetrated the traditional Persian world and during transition period (late Qajar and Pahlavi I dynasty), the speed of westernization was doubled. The research problem is that due to changes, the lifestyle has undergone some changes, which has affected in particular housing entrances. This research examines the process of changes in the entrances of houses in eastern Iran during the transition period with an approach towards the principles of privacy. The statistical population includes over 200 identified houses built during the transition period, in the east of Iran. Forty houses (about 20 %) are selected as examples. The results show that the changes in the political, social and cultural structures provided the grounds for changes in the physical structure of cities. For various reasons, the physical changes of houses were less frequent and slower. The people of eastern Iran resisted as much as possible the social and cultural transformation as well as the physical changes it caused. Since the principle of Privacy in architecture is inextricably linked to religious beliefs and the lifestyle of the people of this area, the changes could not eliminate the privacy of entrances of the Iranian eastern houses.

  • ASSOCIATION for IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020
    ASSOCIATION FOR IRANIAN STUDIES انجمن ایران پژوهی http://associationforiranianstudies.org AIS Newsletter | Volume 41, Number 2 | October 2020 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS This has been an eventful year for the Association for Iranian Studies. We conducted our first ever virtual workshop in August and September. We were able to offer this virtual workshop for free because the net costs of administering it turned out to be relatively low and partially offset by the addition of a new institutional member. The relatively low cost was also important because we were able to preserve resources for our long-awaited conference at the University of Salamanca. Although participation was optional, the AIS 2020 Virtual Workshop had 122 participants and featured about 40 papers and presentations. Looking forward, we may want to consider virtual workshops to facilitate more frequent scholarly interaction between biennial conferences and/or as a way to reduce the economic threshold for participation in our biennial conferences by adding a more robust simultaneous virtual component. For the foreseeable future, however, we still have to think about how best to advance the AIS mission despite an ongoing pandemic. When we cancelled AIS 2020 in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we hoped to reschedule for 2021. Continuing pandemic conditions have made holding our conference in 2021 impractical. Therefore, AIS Council, on the recommendation of AIS Executive Committee, has decided to hold the AIS conference in Salamanca in 2022. Those who registered for AIS 2020 will have their registrations honored for AIS 2022 so long as their membership dues are up-to-date.
