Abstract: (405 Views) |
Qaani is a well-known poet in the School of Return. There are various and sometimes conflicting opinions among critics about the validity of his poetry, but in terms of content, everyone agrees that he is a panegyrist who uses exaggeration and hyperbole. Different reasons have been cited for the excessive nature of his poetry, including wealth accumulation and adherence to the literary traditions of courtly panegyric poetry. However, in this study, another reason has been proposed for Qaani's focus on panegyric, which is his susceptibility to the views of the leaders of the Shaykhism school.
Based on the evidence presented in this article, Qaani was familiar with the teachings of Shaykhism and was influenced by them in his praise of contemporary monarchs and religious leaders. Shaykh Ahmad alAhsá'í, the founder of Shaykhism, believed that not only was it not forbidden to have a relationship with the Qajar government, but flattery and praise of the Qajar rulers were also common among Shaykhism leaders. This excessive way of thinking about Qajar rulers is also evident in Qaani's panegyrics about religious leaders. Shaykhism identifies the infallible as the causes of the creation of all things and considers them as gods on earth who can reside in the bodies of others, etc. Similar beliefs and claims are clearly visible in Qaani's poems |
