AbstractIn Bostan, Saadi advises and refers to concepts that are closely related to the science of social work today. On the other hand, Farabi's theory of happiness is the origin of Bostan Saadi and modern social work. The fundamental problem of this research, which is provided in a descriptive-analytical way, is to know the conceptual and intellectual links between the three sides of this triangle; Bostan Saadi, social work and Farabi's theory of happiness. The most important questions of the article are: What are the connections between Saadi's thoughts and teachings in Bostan and social work in its modern concept, and how are both of them connected with the theory of happiness of Farabi (259 AH - 339 AH), an ancient thinker of the Islamic world? The hypothesis is that Saadi was influenced by Farabi's theory of happiness and social work is rooted in the teachings of Eastern thought including Farabi and Saadi's teachings. Looking at the results of the research, the most important reflections of the science of social work in Bostan Saadi, which is also connected with Farabi's theory of happiness, are related to benevolence and helping people, which brings them closer to God and brings a person to ultimate happiness - which in Farabi's thought is the highest type. It is happiness - it is guided.
