According to Likoff and Johnson,the metaphor of anthropomorphism isontological metaphors through which abstract concepts get a human character and can be related to the attitude and action of the speakerThe object or phenomenon to be describedThe purpose of this research is to examine the anthropomorphism of the world in Hadiqaand Masnavi in order to show what human qualities these two poets used to givepersonality to the world and in this way,what attitude they aroused in the audienceThe results of theresearch show that Sanai have created the metaphor ofthe world as a human being by attributing the physical moral and social characteristics of humans to the worldThis metaphor includes two more detailed metaphorsthe world as a woman and the world as a human being with moralsocial characteristicsThe subcategories of the metaphorthe world as a woman which was created based on the type of understanding of marriage andfamily relationships,shows that in Sanai poetry,the world of a woman is more prominent and unlike Rumi,in addition to negative moral characteristics,this female world also has a physica andunpleasantappearance,which causes physical and sexual disgust and the audience's action is to avoid itIn themetaphor of the world as a human being with moralsocial characteristics which is also formed based on the knowledge ofsocialinteraction and interpersonal relationships,these two poets have addressed similar images of the world;with the difference that Sanai has portrayed the world as a humanbeing with a vere negative inner world;But in Rumis poetryhe is a human being with positive and negative moral and social characteristics

Maulana Jalaladdin Rumi's Masnavi is an encyclopedia of the Islamic culture of Iran. Because it includes many stories and demonstrates Rumi's thoughtfulness regarding psychological problems of his time, one will have no doubt to admit that Masnavi is a great work of art and literature and has to be pondered on and examined closely. That is why there is an attempt here to study the sexual issues and problems of LGBT, especially due to the fact that such issues have not yet been scrutinized by the Maulana scholars out of the fear of the orthodox reactions of their public or those of the elite audience. The study questions of this project are: which sexual disorders have been implicated by the stories, and what is Rumi's opinion about the people with different sexual identities? The aim of this study is to inspect Maulana's opinion about LGTB and, at the same time, This research shows that different types of sexual disorders have been designated and criticized by Rumi in the form of humor and anecdotes. These include: homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, sexual exploitation, castration, exhibitionism. The two sexual unorthodox groups of people who were reproached at Rumi's time are: the Mokhannath and Sa'tari which are now known as transgender. What is interesting is the fact that Rumi considered their sexual differences to be innate and God-given. This is a huge contradiction at the heart of his philosophy that can be examined and clarified.
