The era of Akbar shah (Akbar the great), the third Indian ruler of Timurid, is known as one of the most important and prominent governments in Indian history, due to Akbar’s particular political and religious views. Universal peace and reconciliation, religious tolerance, mystical beliefs, astrolatry, loving Iran and Persian language, holding ancient Iranian celebrations, Hezareh-telling, and reincarnation are the most important beliefs, desires, and virtues of Akbar-Shah. In this paper, after a brief overview of Akbar-Shah's ideas that illustrates his efforts to put the views and beliefs of various religions and religions together, we attempt to scrutinize the relation between Akabar’s universal peace and the idea of the unity of the Azarkayvan religions

The warfare epistle movement in contemporary Afghan literature began with popular uprisings against the British, known as the First Afghan-British War (1242-1220 HS / 1839-1839 AD). The British colonial invasion to Afghanistan brought an epic and heroic spirit to the people of this land, leading to armed jihad and the creation of numerous epic poems. These poems are arranged in the meter and style, in accordance with Firdowsi's Shahnameh. The main focus of these war memoirs is on the bravery and quality of the Afghan people's struggle against foreigners, especially the British, and the family struggles of local rulers and kings. This descriptive-analytical research seeks to examine the role of war writing in reflecting the realities of contemporary Afghan political history. The results of the research show that the multiplicity of these genres testifies to the poets' historic need to preserve their national identity and their efforts to record and preserve the national unity, bravery and achievements in the epic genre. The acceptance and standardization of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh in Afghanistan is a major factor in the tendency of these poets to compose epic poems. Although none can be regarded as profound as Shahnameh of Firdowsi in terms of language, style and even in the equality of subject and yield. Nevertheless, some of these writings had and continue to have profound emotional effects among the Afghan people and arouse patriotism and a desire for national unity and independence in contemporary Afghan history.

Believing the crucial role of music in declining the level of stress on the one hand, and regarding it as both a cheap and adequate tool for instruction on the other hand have been led to creation of musical art during the pandemy of Coronavirus-covid 19. While such works have some artistic and aesthetic appeals in common, regardless of style and instrument, the content and theme their lyricists intend to introduce make them distinguish. These themes are various and include social concerns, political stances and educational and ethical issues. This paper is a contrastive analysis of two pieces of Iranian and Afghan lyrics to determine the linguistic features of art works in the different mental attitudes. The study has been conducted based on theoretical concepts of cognitive linguistics especially conceptual metaphor. The data of this qualitative research including the lyrics of Reza Sadeghi, an Iranian singer, and Farhad Darya, an Afghan on, has been examined by analytical method. The findings of present study suggest that, through the process of formulation of a specific metaphor for conceptualizing one single reality, the highlighting of various elements in the source domain leads to the promotion of opposing ideologies which in turn may form a complete antinomy.

In this study, we intend to make a comparative study of women's clothing in the reign of Safavid in Iran and the Ottoman Empire. Because of the long period of this government and to have a closer look at this issue, we limit ourselves to the reign of Shah Isma'il I to Shah Abbas II, which is coincided with the reign of Bayazid II to Sultan Muhammad IV in the Ottoman Empire. In some photos and paintings from the Safavid era and the era of Ottoman Empire some similarities were observed in the patterns and components of women's clothing, so this question raised that from which land these similarities land have been originated? In this research, through a descriptive-comparative method and based on library sources the similarities and differences of women’s clothing of Safavids and Ottomans are studied. The results show that the most of Ottoman women's clothing components are very similar to Iranian women's clothing in the Safavid era.

Considering the names of the Oriental hand-wovens, Arabic words were highly used in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain). This paper used the historical research method to explore the old Spanish and Portuguese documents and also the quality and state of emergence of Oriental hand-wovens in these lands. In this method, the etymology of those Arabic words was considered too. The results of the paper revealed that in the Iberian Peninsula, at least, from the 14th century, the Oriental carpets were a typical and symbol of furniture which were known as alcatifa, a popular name for them. The word alcatifa must be derived from Qatif port at the coast of the Persian Gulf. Most of these carpets traveled from India to the Iberian Peninsula by trade. The Persian carpets were too expensive, so there are a few signs of them in the Portuguese and Spanish decorations during that time.

Although the history of writing and the application of writing in the present geographic boundaries of Iran comes back to almost five thousand years ago, our culture has more oral aspects and is relied on the customs of variety of live rituals, and transfers unwritten ancient heritage. The fact is that ancient Persian inscriptions date back almost to two thousand and five hundred years ago, and the writings of Elamite are several millennia older than that. Despite such ancientness in our writing tradition, we have to appeal to Sumerian and Akkadian writings in western Iran, in order to understand the ritual tradition, such as Nowruz

Before the advent of modernism, religions were known as the theoretical sources of gardening. Chinese Gardening is one of the most important legacies in Asian culture and art. It seems that landscape design in China is somewhat influenced by the tendency toward nature in Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian ideas. The research method in this paper is a case study and analytical-descriptive research. Information is gathered through documentary and library studies and the logical deduction of data. The data are measured by a review of Chinese garden plans. Further, by analyzing the elements and generalities of the Chinese garden, it is referred to how the thoughts are influenced by the formation of symbols and the form of the garden. Studies have shown that China's landscape is the concrete embodiment of Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist thoughts, which have shown itself in the form of elements, orders, relationships, and locations between the components.

The surviving works of the Fatimids and Buyids show that the Fatimids had some negligence about using Shiite themes in their art works, while Buyids used many of these themes and a variety of them in their works. Present study has been performed in historical and descriptive-analytical method and aimed at recognizing the reasons for the difference in the type of reflection of Shiite themes in the art of the Fatimids of Egypt and Buyids, and answers the question that what is the difference between the use of Shiite themes in the works of art of the Fatimids and the Buyids? The results show that different attitudes of Fatimids and Buyids towards art have led to differences in their use of Shiite themes; the Fatimids viewed works of art as a commodity for trade and gaining income, while Buyids had a propagandistic view toward it and saw works of art as a means of propagating ideas as well as gaining religious legitimacy.
