Summary/Abstract: Sa‘di’s Gulistan belongs to the Islamic literary tradition which raises and disciplines human ego through the formation of the moral self. His Gulistan is a rosary of moral stories – hikayas and anecdotes which convey to readers messages that are more pragmatic than philosophical, through subtle observations about life and people, which point to the rules of a meaningful and harmonious life. In today’s world and order of things, Sa‘di’s Gulistan is an important text, as it was in the past, since it promotes universal values which are timeless and always current.
