In Persian language and literature, poetry and prose have developed in diverse forms and across a wide range of themes, among which the didactic genre holds a prominent position. Persian-speaking poets and writers have frequently conveyed ethical and behavioral principles through narratives and instructive anecdotes. A clear example of this approach appears in Sufi texts, where authors, by narrating stories about prophets, imams, and spiritual masters, encourage disciples and readers to uphold moral values and refrain from improper conduct. Abu al-Hasan ʿAli ibn ʿUthmān Jullābī Hujwīrī is among the major mystics of the fifth century AH (eleventh century CE). His renowned work, Kashf al-Maḥjūb (The Unveiling of the Veiled), is considered one of the earliest Persian treatises on Sufism, offering guidance on spiritual ethics, manners, and moral instruction. Despite the importance of Kashf al-Maḥjūb, its educational and literary teachings have not been examined in an independent study, underscoring the need for this research. This study explores the presence of educational concepts in Kashf al-Maḥjūb and analyzes the methods Hujwiri uses to convey moral instruction. Using an analytical–descriptive, library-based approach, the findings show that Hujwiri presents educational themes through encouragement and admonition, employing both direct and indirect methods, especially narratives and anecdotes, with moral lessons typically stated at the end of each story. His ethical and educational teachings are also directed toward society as a whole.
