The Purpose and Accessibility of the Poetic Creed in Section 177 of Haft Awrang
In Section 177 of Haft Awrang (within Silsilat al-Dhahab), Jami outlines the purpose behind composing his poetic exposition on Islamic creed (aqayid-e Islam). He frames the composition as a response to a request received via a messenger, emphasizing that the primary goal is to present core Islamic beliefs in a fluent, structured poetic format that is easy to memorize (zabt-e an asan ast). Jami highlights that this accessible creed is intended for both the elite (khas) and the common people ('am) alike, declaring its memorization a spiritual necessity for every religious adherent of the Sunni tradition.
