sa'di shirazi and civilization of islam through the seer's poem in a lament baghdad

kaiss al-kaiss**, zahra hakimzadeh*** exploring saadi’s literary character to gain insight of overall picture of arab literature in his work is not entirely realized when dealing only with his persian accomplishments, it is necessary to study his accomplishments in arabic poems alongside with his persian works to succeed in such venture. saadi has a variety of purpose in his usage of arabic language, such as preaching, monotheism, intimacy, hope and elegy. saadi has a unique poem among his arabic poems, which deserves taking it into consideration; it is known as rayyhe qaside which is mourning for baghdad after its destruction by mongols, and the killing of musta’sam and the loss of the abbasid caliphate. this wonderful poem is one of his finest arabic ones. it is also the longest one among his arabic and persian works of poetry, which has not got a fair consideration. quran had a great impact on saadi’s works, and as primary source, saadi managed to use his quranic culture to express his various purposes, experiences and his different ideas and goals.
