Man, Satan, and God of Mawlana (Rumi) and Milton

This research is a critical analysis on the place of human and his integration with religious issues، and the subject of disobedience and rebellion. In addition، topics such as reward، punishment، redemption and salvation of mankind in two great works of literature of the world، Masnavi by Mawlana and Paradise Lost by Milton have been comparatively discussed. Rumi''s poetry and thought has been accepted by commons and special people in Iran and the world. Rumi is one of the few supreme poets in Persian language and the world. Generally، Milton has Known as the greatest English poet after Shakespeare، and his Paradise Lost as the greatest English fiction poem. This work is a the well-known epics of human-divine composed in live new languages، and comparing these two works even in one field of speech، indeed is the comparison of two thoughts، two nations، and two ancient cultures. The author attempts to examine the similarities and contrasts of the two poems of these two great poets on the subjects of human، God، and Satan and the world، to achieve the analytical and critical comparison of them in this context. In this paper the author tries to base the Paradise Lost of Milton and compare it with the ideas of Mawlana common to imagine man''s first story and his disobedience، religious approaches، and finally the end presumed for mankind. In these two poems، contrast between «God» and «man» is derived from the fundamental relationship between «God» and «man». Milton while calls God، our Heavenly Father and refer to his role of creativity، entitles him as the dominant power، All mighty، the victorious winner، Glorious and Holy ruler، powerful king، and in one word، omnipotent. The Creator that all creatures are worshiping him، the omnipotent could be seen his capability remarks in everywhere، the unique structure of the universe beautiful is his own and the glorious ruler، sitting over the skies، sometimes invisible and sometimes visible، even manifested on faith at the lowest created! Powerful king that nobody cannot hurt and destroy him and no one has the ability to limit the scope of his empire! He is the Almighty and Creator of all things، from beginning to the end. Such an attitude toward God from the perspective of Protestant religion is a reminder of God''s eternal power that humans are bound to and have to obey what the Lord predestined them. «Omnipotent» is not a prudent combination، it is a phantom and exaggerated expression that describes someone who has unlimited power، superior، independent of everyone else and bring everything should come and predestines all things.
