	Hafiz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hafiz or Hafez (Arabic: حافظ), literally meaning 'guardian', is a term used by Muslims for people who have completely memorized the Qur'an.
		The hafiz were also highly appreciated as reciters, whose beautifully intoned words were accessible even to the illiterate crowd.
		A number of scholars point to hadiths that state that a hafiz will be rewarded on Qiyamah (Judgement Day), as will his or her parents, and will be granted the ability to intercede on behalf of ten family members.

	Hafez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His work was written in what is now a dialect presenting archaic acceptations of some words, and teasing out the original meaning needs some care and scholarship in order to assign to each word a literal or symbolic meaning.
		Indeed, Hafiz often uses images, metaphores and allusions that imply the reader must have a very good cultural base.
		Although Landinsky does read Persian, critics such as Murat Nemet-Nejat, a prominent poet, essayist and translator of modern Turkish poetry, have asserted that his "translations" are largely inventions of Landinsky himself and as such are misrepresented.

		Hafiz was at least Chen's equal in the flat fast mid-court exchanges and also picked off winners at the net well.

	Teachings Of Hafiz translated by Gertrude Lowthian Bell : Arthur's Classic Novels
		About the time of the birth of Hafiz, that is to say in the beginning of the fourteenth century, a certain Mahmud Shah Inju was governing the province of Fars, of which Shiraz is the capital, in the name of Abu Said, the last of the direct descendants of Hulagu.
		Hafiz is one of those who has suffered from this process; it has removed him, in great measure, from the touch of human sympathies which are, when all is said and done, a poet's true kingdom.
		Hafiz is rather the forerunner than the founder of this school of poets.

	Hafiz and the Place of Iranian Culture in the World
		The explanation is simple; he was not merely the Hafiz of the Qur’an, but well acquainted with the whole field of philosophy, history, poetry and literature, with the highest thought then known to his countrymen.
		Hafiz taught the appreciation of beauty, love, gentleness and kindliness; the value of all human beings; the constant glory and splendour and joy of the universe in which we live; the wonder of communion with nature.
		No doubt Hafiz was the supreme genius of his race, and in that sense if we try to measure his successors by his standard we will find an immediate and sudden decline.
