Abstract

In this paper we have studied and shown the ambiguity forms and the factors making them in Sufism letters of Sohrevardi which are symbolic stories. Because symbolic sufism stated are kind of knowledge concepts , and the way of interpretation is just possible by similar words. Sohrevardi has used allegory for stating those concepts .His symbolic allegories have been formed from fiction narrations and symbols and the overcoming of these symbols over fiction narrations has formed ambiguity . In this paper according to the interpretations which are taken from Sohrevardi's allegories, the remaining ambiguity in these allegories and it's factors were studied. The obtained results show that the amount of ambiguities in each of these allegories depends firstly on the reader's presuppositions and beliefs and his familiarity with Sohrevardi's mentality and outlook and secondly on the kind of applied symbols in allegory (mystic, personal and repetitive symbols. The most ambiguous parts are in these letters; Avaz-e par-e Jebraeil, Aghl-e sorkh,Fi haghighatel Eshgh and Resalatottair.

Key words: Ambiguity Forms, Sohrevardi's Sufism Letters, Mystic Allegory, Symbol.
