Abstract
About the beginning of the second century and after the installation of Baqdad, Baqdad mystical school was established by some of Sophies such as Maruf karkhi. This school was continued by Sari Saqati and finally was completed by Jonayd Baqdadi .The climax of this school was in the fourth century thanks to Jonayd's learnings and those of his students such as Shebli, Vaseti and Joreyri…
The most distinguishing characteristic of the disciples of this school was their absolute adherence to the appearance of the religion which was mainly caused by their reaction to unawareness school. They explained this school by discussing the alertness (consciousness) and unawareness. Jonayd himself was always on alert and was never unaware. Possessing this characteristic, he was always ready for obeying the religion's orders. There are other factors in addition to the above-mentioned causes for obeying the religion's orders.
In this article, first, we examine the domains in which Jonayd school caught on in the third, fourth and fifth centuries and then some disciples of this school will be briefly introduced. Then we will discuss why the founders of this school were committed to following the face rules of this school.

Abstract
In ancient Iran, mubeds were always among the most prominent authorities of the country and were highly influential in kings’ courts. This role is well depicted in Iran’s most famous national epic, and it is of such an importance that by examining their roles and positions in Shahnameh, one can find how religion and government were closely related in ancient Iran. In Shahnameh, the mubads’ responsibilities were not just limited to conducting religious ceremonies and rites. They enjoyed power and authority in country’s administration and were the most educated people of their age. They were responsible for the education and also narrated ancient stories. Observing the economic affairs and bearing the flag in battles were other responsibilities of the mubeds which are also well depicted in Shahnameh. It should be noted that “mubed” in Shahnameh is used as a generic term and it is not always used to mean a “clergy”. Rather, its meanings had expanded and the term was attributed to wise and erudite people. In this paper, the authors attempt to explain the functions and hierarchies of mubeds according to Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the elements of Persian language in ancient jurisprudence texts. In this paper, using induction, descriptive and analytical method, examples of Persian words and elements in selected ancient jurisprudence texts, and some linguistic, grammatical, and syntactic features of these examples are analyzed.Additionally, some prominent features such as the simultaneous use of Persian and Arabic words, changing the syntactic structure of the sentence, and the semantic change, phonological and phonetic evolution and distortion of Persian words in the ancient Arabic and Persian jurisprudence sources are examined in more detail.The results show that the Persian language has a special place in ancient jurisprudence texts among non-Arabic languages as most non-Arabic words in these texts are taken from Persian language.In addition to the ancient jurisprudence sources in Arabic, there are a few valuable ancient jurisprudence sources in Persian, which are considered valuable examples of the use of Persian as the language of religion.This study shows that most of the authors of ancient Arabic jurisprudence texts who were influenced by Persian language were either from Persia or familiar with Persian language of Fars province or were Arabic-speaking jurists in whose works the social life of Persian-speaking Muslims is manifested.In the present study, two parts of these jurisprudence works have been dealt with more precisely: First, the ruling on the Persian translation of the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah in prayer, in which the jurisprudence sects have three distinct views on this issue.Examining the arguments and evidence of these views, a detailed view on the permissibility of the Persian translation of Surah Al-Fatihah in case of inability to read correctly and its impermissibility in case of ability to read correctly has been chosen.The other is the jurisprudence view of expressing divorce in Persian, in which there are two distinct views. The chosen word in this issue is the view of the correctness and jurisprudential possibility of divorce in the language of any ethnic group.

Abstract
The researchers of mysticism and Islamic Sufism have considered the making of the language of Sufism and mystical discourse as one of the most important aspects of the history of Sufism. Especially the gradual differentiation of the language of Sufism from the language of religion and its transformation into an independent discourse has been the subject of valuable researches. The researchers have demonstrated that mystical experience and Qur'anic interpretation are inseparable at first and the language of mystical experience merely uses Quranic words, but gradually, mystical experience becomes independent and adopts the Qur'anic language/language of religion and acquires its very own language. One of the lexical features of the language of Qur'an/religion is the use of binary opposition. Binary oppositions such as Paradise/Hell, Good/Evil, this world/the Hereafter among the basic religious and Quranic teachings and are used with high frequency in Sufi texts. The use of binary oppositions in Sufi texts goes far beyond religious binary opposition, and especially in Sufi textbooks, many new terms are formed based on binary opposition.One of the distinguishing aspects of the language of Sufism is the deconstruction of binary oppositions. The deconstruction is applied both in the binary oppositions of religion and in the oppositions formed in the language of Sufism. It has various and different forms and aspects, and its analysis may provide us with the most creative and innovative aspects of Sufis' worldview and mystical experience. This linguistic invention, which is rooted in the novelty and uniqueness of mystical experience, is a sign of the authenticity of that experience. In this research, we have investigated the deconstruction and departure from binary opposition in a corpus including the most creative words of the Sufis in Persian prose texts. By analyzing and classifying the different forms of the deconstruction and going beyond the binary opposition, the article shows how this feature grants the language of Sufism a special artistic and poetic characteristic, and places it in a completely different level compared to religious texts and the language of Shariat. Going far beyond the binary oppositions is closely related to the paradoxical feature of the language of Sufism and provides the possibility of expressing more complex experiences for Sufis.
