دفتر سوم - داستان هاروت و ماروت / Book Three - The Story of Harut and Marut

In Book 3 of Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi, the narrative of the angels Harut and Marut unfolds. Confident in their own spiritual purity and immune to human frailty, the angels are sent to earth by God as a test. There, they succumb to worldly temptation. This narrative section serves as a foundational literary framework in the Masnavi for exploring themes of spiritual pride, the stark contrast between divine intoxication and earthly lust, and the profound vulnerability of all beings to the deceptive power of the carnal soul.
