Abstract
The literary form of fiction, apart from its artistic and lyrical nature, can play a significant role as a medium in conveying religious principles and thoughts. Whatever literature may be, it must be accepted that conventional literature is one of the realms in which humanity is realized, and therefore, all transformations that occur for humankind will inevitably be manifested in literature. "The novelist is neither a historian nor a prophet; he is an explorer of existence." (Avini, 2011, p. 11) Thus, literature, and the novel as a genre, if under the supervision of a committed and specialized writer, can have a significant impact on the dissemination of religious thoughts. Reza Amir-Khani is one of the committed and contemporary specialized writers whose religious spirit infused into the body of his stories has surpassed the essence of the writer's imagination; this characteristic distinguishes him from the multitude of his contemporaries. Given the thematic diversity of his works and based on his different perspective on contemporary social issues, it has been said: "Amir-Khani is a writer of both cosmic and introspective dimensions; he has experienced much travel outside and has also engaged in inner journeys, and the amalgamation of these two experiences has created a precise, profound, and comprehensive personality." (Shahanghi, 2013, pp. 2-8) Among the characters in Reza Amir-Khani's works is a character named "Armiya," who undergoes a mystical transformation within the framework of his pen. This character is the main character in the novels "Armiya" and "Biutan," and is also one of the influential characters in the novel "Rahesh." In each of the mentioned novels, Armiya exhibits different actions, and various aspects of his life are narrated
