Abstract
Teaching religious beliefs to children is an example of ritual literature. This kind of education is found in different historical periods and among most nations. Hussainiyais a collection by Abu Turab Ibn Hassan Hosseini, nicknamed Jowzaa-e- Natanzi, a Shiite poet of the end of the thirteenth century AH. He wrote the book for his eight-year-old son, Hussein, and named the collection Hussainiyaafter him. This work is in the form of Masnavi, has the rhythmic structure of “Moftaelon Moftaelon Faaelon”, and contains more than 1300 verses. Its only Manuscript numbered 1531 is available in the library of the Faculty of Theology of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. This work is a unique example of the educational-ritual collections of the Sheikh sect in the Qajar era that has been unknown, and needs to be introduced and analyzed. The results of this study show that Abu Turab Husseini follows the founders of the Sheikh sect Ahmad Ehsaei and Muhammad Karim Ibn Ibrahim in the tradition of farzand-nameh-nevisi (writing for one’s child). He uses rhetorical tools such as the title of the book; keeping the attention of the readers; being proud of their religious ancestors; benefiting from anecdotes, allegories, and similes; and using a sincere, fatherly and critical tone to teach his son lessons in the field of theology, prophecy, Imamology, Shiism, and moral principles.
