Abstract :

An attempt was made to compare some moral and educational themes of Saadi’s Boostan that has been emphasized in his utopia with those moral themes in Nahjolbalaghe of Imam Ali (AS). Boostan is a valuable social Masnavi in which the poet depicted the world in such a way that it should be. The moral themes of human beings that have been suggested in the book bring happiness and prosperity for human and prepare them to live in utopia. Saadi designed his utopia under the influence of Islamic human values, Nahjolbalaghe and Quran that they are the most complete models and patterns. Saadi is one of the poets and authors who have been influenced by Nahjolbalaghe.The amount of this effectiveness for his work has surprised researchers. This study is trying to answer this question. Did Saadi pay attention to religious text in Boostan, particularly Nahjolbalaghe, and how much is the amount of this effectiveness in the area of ethical and moral themes?
