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

Tuhfat al-Ahrar (The Gift of the Free)

The third of the seven masnavis that together make up Jami's Haft Awrang. Composed in the tradition of Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, it is a didactic Sufi poem organized into twenty discourses (maqalat), each pairing an ethical or mystical teaching with an illustrative tale. Its discourses treat subjects such as faith, the five daily prayers, generosity, sincerity, love, and detachment from the world. This node gathers the individual discourses and sections of Tuhfat al-Ahrar under the larger Haft Awrang collection, so that a section is nested beneath its own masnavi rather than directly beneath the whole seven-part work.
