As a character of Shahnameh, Bozorjmehr has a unique position. He is a wise sage whose sayings revolve around morality, wisdom, guidance, progress, truth and goodness. Likewise, Islam is a religion whose teachings and injunctions all lead to human perfection. Comparing the sayings of Bozorjmehr with the teachings of The Quran and the traditions of Innocent Imams (peace be upon them all), the writers show close similarities between them. The writers then address two main questions: A: How can we categorize the similarities found between the statements of Bozorjmehr in Shahnameh and the teachings of the Quran and tradition? B: What are the reasons for these similarities? The writers use a causal-comparative method; that is, they first describe and categorize the similarities and then try to find reasons, based on logic and tradition, to justify these similarities.
