So far, many books have been written about the poems and thoughts of Moulana Jalal Al-Din. Scholars and researchers have studied his books from different perspectives. One of the books published in this area is entitled “Moulana and Some Stories from Masnavi” by Sirous Shamisa. This study is a criticism of the book “Moulana and Some Stories from Masnavi” based on the mystic tradition of Moulana’s method. In the sections entitled “the biography of the followers of Moulana’s method”, “issues on mystic topics”, and “rhetorical issues”, “issues on interpretation, allegories and stories” and “issues on the thoughts of Moulana and the modern man”, the authors have analyzed and investigated the book and used the ideas of other researchers in the field in order to explain the issues better. This book has been written innovatively and has opened new doors to the studies of Moulana using modern modes in humanities. Despite all the positive points, some points that the book author has mentioned on the biography of Moulana, as well as the mystic topics, are in contradiction with the main sources of research on Moulana, the mystic tradition of Moulavi, and the ideas of other researchers in the field.
