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

Tuhfat al-Ahrar

تحفةالاحرار (Tuhfat al-Ahrar, the Gift of the Free) is the third masnavi within Jami's collection of seven poems, the Haft Awrang. Composed as a didactic poem in the tradition of Nizami's Makhzan al-Asrar, it is organized into twenty discourses (مقالات / maqalat), each pairing a point of Sufi doctrine with an illustrative parable.

Sections such as the Second Discourse on the creation of Adam (Section 24) and the Third Discourse on the true humanity of man being the felicity of Islam and religion (Section 26) are discourses of this single poem. They belong under the Tuhfat al-Ahrar book node rather than directly under the whole Haft Awrang collection.
