In his most significant verse work, Masnavi Manavi, Molana, the seventh century glamorous star in Persian literature arena, discussed most outstanding notions in mysticism, religion and morality with respect to creativity approach. In so doing, he has made extensive use of Quran verses and Hadis. He is so skilful in utilizing tales and anecdotes that we can barely find another figure robbing shoulders to him in this respect. The diversity of Islamic allusions in his works has its roots in his wide scope of knowledge in Quran, Interpretation, Hadis and also his robust imagination. In this article, it is argued that the close study of Noha's allusions in Molana's work shows that he has used this Quranic allusion to draw a mystical conclusion or sometimes to reiterate a certain mystical notion in a creative way. Therefore he does not simply intend to retell a story but he fetched a famous story from the deepest darkest corners of his audiences' minds and then he provides a mystical and moral interpretation of that and by doing so, he elaborates on certain moral and mystical notion in such a way that the reader who reads Masnavi could be considered as an individual who has gone through a thorough course of Quran interpretation and the stories of prophets.
