Kazivanje o šejhu San’ânu: Put od samoljublja do božanske ljubavi
Tales about Sheikh San’an: A Path from the Love of Self to the Love of God

Summary/Abstract: Abu Bakr Abdurrazaq b. Hemam b. Nafies-San’âni el-Himyeri, an Islamic scholar from Sana, is a historical figure that motivated the creation of several oral traditions and several authorial pieces. The publicis certainly most familiar with Attar’s interpretation of the story of Sheikh San’ân, and for us the most interesting and the most important one is the interpretation by Hasan Zijaija Mostarac, in form of a mesnevi. By presenting the content of this important work by Zijaija and by offering a translation of part of the verses into Bosnian, we are trying to uncover the symbolism of this semantically charged and complex story. Moreover, we present the references to the story of Sheikh San’ân in other short poetic forms (gazel, kit’a, kasida) by Hasan Zijaija Mostarac, Sabit Alaudin Užičanin, and Hasan Kaimija, indicating the meaning of symbols and the reference of wearing a monk’s belt (zunnar).
