Abstract
Molana, the great creator of Masnavi, is an intellectual mystic, who has based his intellectual foundation on peace and indulgence. He has invited all in his works to follow his manner, by employing various techniques such as simile and anecdote. His view on indulgence, along with some other views, have been criticized. The current study has explored these criticisms in the last century by adopting an analytical-descriptive approach. The purpose of such analysis was to fully understand the basis of his view on indulgence and to introduce and study the criticisms against it. Upon analysis, it became apparent that coexistence of different religious beliefs in the society (social pluralism), based on Islamic core beliefs, played a major role in his worldview. However, religious pluralism, bearing similarities with the aforementioned view of his, is not welcomed by Molana. The analysis of Molana’s verses has also shown that calling him a pluralist is not evidence-based and therefore flawed
