Written in Masnavi rhyming couplets, it draws on the author’s life experience, travels, and reflections on human psychology. Presented as a treasury of eloquent verses, it conveys moral and religious virtues through aphorisms, practical advice, and humane, often humorous observations. The prologue frames the purpose of the book, including its dedication and appeal for mercy and guidance.","THE BOSTAN OF  \nSAADI  \nSheikh Mosleh al-Din Saadi Shirazi  \n[InfoBooks.org](InfoBooks.org)  \nB O S T A N S Y N O P S I S  \nBostan is a poetic work by the Persian author Saadi, considered a classic of Farsi literature. Published in 1257, the book explores the author's life experience and his judgments about his many anecdotes, his travels, and his view of human psychology. His poetic style is Masnavi, meaning verses in rhyming pairs.  \nSaadi's book has been translated into several languages and is considered one of the best literary works in history. It has been widely acclaimed by critics and is one of the works that best illustrate the virtues preached by Muslims, all through aphorisms, advice, and other humorous reflections.  \nFollowing link Bostan by Saadi at [InfoBooks](InfoBooks.org)[.org](InfoBooks.org)  \nP R O L O G U E  \nIN THE NAME OF GOD, THE COMPASSIONATE, THE MERCIFUL  \nIn the name of Him Who created and sustains the world, the Sage Who endowed tongue with speech.  \nHe attains no honor who turns the face from the doer of His mercy. The kings of the earth prostate themselves before Him in supplication.  \nHe seizes not in haste the disobedient, nor drives away the penitent with violence. The two worlds are as a drop of water in the ocean of His knowledge.  \nHe withholds not His bounty though His servants sin; upon the surface of the earth has He spread a feast, in which both friend and for may share.  \nPeerless He is, and His kingdom is eternal. Upon the head of one He placeth a crown another he hurleth from the throne to the ground.  \nThe fire of His friend He turneth into a flower garden; through the water of the  \nNile He sendeth His foes to perdition.  \nBehind the veil He seeth all, and concealeth our faults with His own goodness. He is near to them that are downcast, and accepteth  \nthe prayers of them that lament.  \nHe knoweth of the things that exist not, of secrets that are untold.  \nHe causeth the moon and the sun to revolve, and spreadeth water upon the earth.  \nIn the heart of a stone hath He placed a jewel; from nothing hath He created all that is.  \nWho can reveal the secret of His qualities; what eye can see the limits of His beauty?  \nThe bird of thought cannot soar to the height of His presence, northe hand of understanding reach to the skirt of His praise.  \nThink not, O Saadi, that one can walk in the road of purity except in the footsteps of Mohammed.  \nHe is the patriarch of the prophets, the guide of the path of salvation; the mediator of mankind, and the chief of the Court of Judgment. What of thy praises can Saadi utter? The mercy of God be upon thee, O Prophet, and peace!  \nON THE REASON FOR THE WRITING OF THIS BOOK  \nI traveled in many regions of the globe and passed the days in the company of many men. I reaped advantages in every corner, and gleaned an ear of corn from every harvest. But I saw none like the pious and devout men of Shiraz-upon which land be the grace of God-my attachment with whom drew away my heart from Syria and Turkey.  \nI regretted that I should go from the garden of the world emptyhanded to my friends, and reflected: “Travelers bring sugar-candy from Egypt as a present to their friends. Although I have no candy, yet have I words that are sweeter. The sugar that I bring is not  \nthat which is eaten, but what knowers of truth take away with respect.”  \nWhen I built this Palace of Wealth, [1] I furnished it with ten doors of instruction. [2]  \nIt was in the year 655 that this famous treasury became full of the pearls of eloquence. A quilted robe of silk, or of Chinese  \nembroidery, must of necessity be padded with cotton; if thou obtain aught of the silk, fret not-be generous and conceal the cotton. I have Hear that in the day of Hope and Fear the Merciful One will pardon the evil for the sake of the good. If thou see evil in my words, do thou likewise. If one couplet among a thousand please thee, generously withhold thy fault finding.  \nAssuredly, my compositions are est","cbCaikT6yiskhnuD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikT6yiskhnuD","pdf",402990,4,1,156,"English","en",105,"# Prologue\n## In the Name of God\n## On the Reason for the Writing of This Book\n## Concerning Atabak Abu Bakr\n# Chapter I\n## Concerning Justice, Counsel, and the Administration of Government","[{\"question\":\"What is the Bostan and when was it published?\",\"answer\":\"Bostan is a poetic work by Saadi Shirazi, published in 1257.
