Abstract

Ferdowsi’ s Shahnameh is one of the greatest masterpieces in the Persian literature which is in close connection with the society, sovereignty, and politics of its time. The kind of sovereignty in Shahnameh is monarchy whose foundation and principals are originated from the Iranshahri thinking. The pillar of sovereignty is the monarch whose incompetence brings destruction to the country and its realms. Ferdowsi’ s ideal Iranshahr is the manifestation of a sovereignty with a just, wise king who has Farr or God given glory. Apart from having an ideal worldwide view, Ferdowsi explains how power drawbacks and the flaws committed by the kings such as not acting according to wisdom, justice and engaging in extravagance lead to the final breaking of the rule of Asha. This article made use of descriptive analytic approach in order to criticize and analyze Kings’ and sovereign’ s vocation in Shahnameh with specific emphasis on the tale of Jamshid since he is the first example of a monarch who acted according to his vocation but later disregarded his calling. The following results were obtained first that the major source in recognizing one’ s vocation lies in having a Farr, God given glory and a king with a Farr is a wise and just king. Kings’ vocation should come from the Lord of wisdom and creator of the world otherwise violation of the vocation not only harms the basis of monarchy, government, and nation, but also is regarded as a sign of disrespect to creation in general and it brings forth chaos and devastation to the country.
