Abstract
Abstract: Ethical affairs and social-religious criticism are among the main contents in Sanaei's works that have been discussed in a fine and effective style. Seir- al-Ebad is one of Sanaei's Mathnavis that some scholars have introduced it as a philosophical and mystical Mathnavi with the conception to increase its literary and mystical value. But the result of this study which was performed by means of content analysis method confirms the hypothesis that Seir- al-Ebad, is not a mere mystical system and all of his three various characters (mystic, social critic and panegyrist) are reflected in this book. Thus the processes of its topics are arranged in such a way that we can see the mystical themes have been appeared in terms of some introductions including ethical issues, social criticism and religious chorus adorations along with one hundred dinar award request from Muhammad-Mansur's son (Seraxs Judge) and there is a direct relationship between the change of its course content and Sanaei's different characters which has been neglected by some scholars.
