Islamization of narration in the tails of the thousand and one nights

The thousand and one nights include the stories which critics believe that they referred to India and are translated into Persian in Sasanian period and into Arabic in Abbasi era. Certainly, they happened gradually and during generation and successive eras and provided a proper opportunity for storytellers and narrators to adjust their ideas and addressers’ ideas to stories, as they edited or omitted those stories which weren’t based on their ideas and maybe add some stories too. It’s surprising that promotion and jurisdiction of Islam religion in those stories is comprehensive and not limited to special time or place and not only reserves to human but also trend all kinds of creatures such as human, characters and Jin or animals in different times or places. Evidently, we can observe Muslim characters before Islam and in unknown or inaccessible islands. Researchers believe that Islam religion inclusion in stories of the thousand and one nights didn’t begin exaggeratedly or merely for partiality of Islam religion but it happens for other important reason and that’s the belief of eternal presence and immortal-eternal history that we are going to investigate it in this article.
