تحفة الاحرار / Tuhfat al-Ahrar (Gift of the Noble)

تحفة الاحرار / Tuhfat al-Ahrar (Gift of the Noble)

Tuhfat al-Ahrar (the Gift of the Free or Noble) is the third of the seven masnavis that together form Jami's Haft Awrang. It is a didactic Sufi masnavi modeled on Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, opening with a sequence of supplications (munajat) and praises of the Prophet (na't) before moving into its ethical discourses (maqalat).

As an intermediate literary container, this node groups the individual sections of Tuhfat al-Ahrar — such as the Fifth Na't on the manner of the supplication of the hopeful and the seeking of intercession for sinners — under the larger Haft Awrang collection, so that each section is reached through the specific masnavi it belongs to rather than directly through the whole seven-part work.
