Ahmad-e Yasavi, also known as "Pir-e Torkestân," was a famous Sufi and influential spiritual leader in the Torkestân region in the 6th century. His Sufi movement and mystical teachings, known as "Yasaviyyeh," gained popularity in the Islamic world and played a significant role in the Islamization of Anatolia, experiencing ups and downs in Asia Minor. Yassaviyyeh is considered the first Sufi order to emerge among the Turks, originating in the city of Yasâ or Torkestân and later spreading throughout Asia Minor. The main significance of the Yasaviyyeh order lies in its ability to spread Sufi beliefs and practices tailored to the intellectual level, language, and culture of the Torkman people from Torkistân to Anatolia. By using simple and melodious poems rooted in the national spirit and customs of the people, Yasaviyyeh order was able to attract the pure and unadulterated souls of the Torkman people to Islam and Sufism, preparing the culture and society of Asia Minor to embrace and accept the teachings of various sects, many of which had origins in Khorâsân. Given the lack of research on critiquing and analyzing the beliefs and practices of Yassaviyyeh and the spread of this Sufi order in Asia Minor, the authors of this study aim to provide a detailed interpretation of the Sufi beliefs and practices of the Yasaviyyeh order by referring to the written works attributed to Ahmad-e Yasavi. They also seek to compare these beliefs and practices with those of Khorasan Sufism to reveal the mystical nature and cultural and intellectual influence of this Sufi order in Asia Minor.

The Safavid era is one of the most important periods in the history of Persian language and literature, and valuable works of poets and cultural geography literature of this period have been remembered. The cultural sphere of the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia was more important in this era, and the contribution of Indian scholars in the field of vocabulary, criticism and linguistics was sometimes greater than that of Iranian writers. One of the most prominent literary figures of the subcontinent, Siraj-ud-Din Ali Khan Arzoust, who has rendered valuable services to Persian literature by composing more than twenty works. Fruitful is one of his valuable works. In this book, Arezoo talks about linguistic issues, phonological processes of exchange, heart, decrease and increase of phonology, and Iranian acquisitions in Arabic and Hindi words.

Perhaps there is no text like Divan-I Hafiz in which the author himself makes so much changes in it. In fact the main variants is the work of the poet himself who has developed the poem to literal and spiritual perfection. If we want to make a meaningful relationship between poetical aspects of Hafiz that is to say short of words, exemplifications in speech, the broken form of discourse, resemblances of the poet with predecessors and his contemporaries, the hypothesis that Hafiz has had frequent studies on others steady works is reinforced. Sometimes his variant transcriptions in his poems exist exactly in past literary texts and sometimes the difference in the transcriptions is at the result of different scientific sources which Hafiz has refered to them and meditated in them. As if, it is probable that one of the creative factors of this different variants is because of the Hafiz research texts themselves. Searching in intertextualities of Hafiz poems make it possible for reader the reasonable understanding of Hafiz mind and language and also the scientific and critical edition of his poem. Up until now, the Hagia Sophia manuscript -copied in 1410 AD- and the Khalkhali manuscript -copied in 1424 AD- have been considered as two head / base-text in the valid editions of the Divan-I Hafiz, By introduction and publishing facsimile edition of Noor Uthmaniya Library manuscript -copied in 1398-99 AD, it seems to be necessary the critical review / edition of this manuscript's readings compared to existing ones

Most of the quatrains attributed to Omar Khayyam are also attributed to other poets in different Persian literary old books. This has caused confusion among scholars in finding real pieces of Khayyam's written poems. Though doing a lot of job by many researchers in sifting the quatrains, it seems that there is steel a long way to go. In this paper we have studied eleven common quatrains of Omar Khayyam and Hafiz which are also attributed to other poets. Paying attention to the manuscripts that included those quatrains and analyzing the stylistic, theme and motif points of each quatrain we finally concluded whom each quatrain belongs to.

Interaction, effect and influence of culture, language and literature among different nationalities in unavoidable. Considering effecting on other cultures and languages and at the same time, being impressionable from them, has a long term and noticeable history for Persian language and literature. Turkish literature and language is among the ones that has had the most interaction with Farsi language and literature. In specific time periods, this relation has been highlighted because of the political necessities, and alternatively, it is observable due to the emerging technologies and fluidity of European and western countries. Edebiyate-e Divani is defined as a six-centuries long Turkish literature, from 13th century up to mid nineteens century, which can be considered as Islamic Turkish epoch until literature of “edebiyate tenzimi”. Majority of created literary works in Divani-e Othmany period, are affected by Farsi traditional literature and also has been saturated by Farsi words and phrases to the extent that with a glance and nontechnical investigation, it can be traced easily. Based on the Othman literary works and also considering researchers of next periods, it can be concluded that this influence is not limited to the unconscious fluidity and indirectly effect, but also it has been tried intentionally to make the literary works as much as possible similar to the Farsi poets and their works in a mimicry way. In this paper, considering Turkish Edebiyate-e Divani in Saljoughian and ottoman epoch, the effect of Persian poets on the works of poets in this period has been investigated.
