Abstract

Similarity between cultures, languages and arts is natural. Literary genres are also related to each other.
It is obvious that if literary works are to be concerned with a subject or particular theme, this convergence will be further and clearer. The Sacred Defense Literature, which is a Spiritual literature, came to the fore both in poetry and prose more than other literary types. Due to its conceptual overlapping viewpoint, there are similarities between these works. The present article, surveying the poems and stories of the Holy Defense in detail, investigates these aspects of convergence, considering various illustrations, and in divisions such as religious and mystical themes, commemoration of revolutionaries, comparative history, protest and intimidation. Moreover, before the major discussion, as well as the introduction, it studies the status of the poetry and prose of the Sacred Defense Literature. Indicating religion as a greatest source of inspiration for Holy Defense Literature, and correcting some of the illusions and inappropriate beliefs of ritual literature through the Sacred Defense Literature are among the findings of this article
