Abstract
One of the most important objectives of the Islamic Code is the reformation of character so that Divine justice may be achieved in human society. Two things are of paramount importance:
-Teaching upcoming generations for being receptive to Islamic teachings so as to live a healthy future; and
-Developing a healthy society that provides scope for successful survival of its members.
Among numerous scholars that have undertaken this noble task is Shaikh Sa'di, the Persian mystical poet. A reading of his Gulistan confirms the didactic nature of his poetry. The history of human culture attests to the eminent position he occupies in refining morality of people regardless of their race or creed, and regardless of the era in which they live.
The primary objective of this dissertation is to probe this literature which offers avenues for acquiring a firm sense of justice and felicity.
