Abstract

In Islamic culture, the Qur'an as a divine book is one of the most significant moral and educational sources. For this reason, it has been widely applied by many artists and poets in historical periods as a rich source. On the other hand, the art of poetry has been at the disposal of poets as an efficient tool of presenting the past and present. They have always considered it as a means of conveying their thoughts and ideas and their creative and intelligent thinking in solving various problems, obstacles and challenges, and according to the conditions of the society and audience, they removed the mask from the face of thought and presented the appropriate solution to society. Based on this, the present research has investigated the educational and informative poems of two great poets: Sharif al-Mortaza and Ohadi Maragheh. The poetry of these poets is also influenced by the two eras of the Mongols and Al-Buyeh rule. During the era of the two mentioned historical periods, poets and scholars were highly valued and during the lifetime of Ohdi Maragheh, the value of mysticism and Sufism reached its peak in Iran. The present research is written in a descriptive and analytical method and based on data extracted from library sources. From the results of this research, it appears that the poems contain high moral, educational and social meanings and themes in which today's societies can practice and learn.

Research aims:
1. Recognizing the moral and educational themes in the holy Qur'an and poetry during the rule of Al-Buyeh and the Mongols.
2. The study of moral and educational themes in the works of Sharif Morteza and Ohadi Maraghehi.

Research questions:
1. What is the place of moral and educational themes in the Qur'an and poetry of the Al-Buyeh and Mongol periods?
2. What is the place of moral and educational themes in the works of Sharif Morteza and Ohadi Maraghehi?
