Faith and Certitude in Contemporary Persian Literature

Abstract

This study is designed to research on Faith and Certitude in Persian literature and focusing on contemporary Persian poem. The traditional literature in Iran is full of religious faith allusions, in fact the ancient poem and prose reflexes the Iranian religious. After Arab attack to Iran in Sassanid dynasty period we faced with a new religion that called Islam, which has remarkable effects on art and poetry. So the Old Persian literature acts like a mirror and reflexes all of the mythical, historica, caltural and Islamic thoughts in old Iran. In contemporary literature in modern world we have another procedure to religion which is a Special faith and certitude to the God who is the lost truth of modern human. In new literature we can see an individual faith that expresses the human need to Celestial subject. Most of the Persian contemporary poets concentrate to this case and use it to tell their internal idea about God, human and universe.
