Love masnavies have appealed to community’s enjoyment of art and aesthetic along ages. These kinds of performances, in which sense of love is handled intriguingly via heroes, have had many aspects of a common composition. This common composition can also be seen within the masnavies whose heroes are members of different religions. However, as oppose to other masnavies, in this kind of masnavies the main conflict within the sequence of events is the difference of religion. Within these kind of performances, heroes and their close friends are involved according to religious differences. Faith and value differences between Islam and other religions are compared and competed within events. For this reason, religious symbols are higlighted and amorous adventures of hereos are designed based on religioes superority. Because of religioues espousal and social mentality and understanding, Islam always will be preferred religion. Furthermore, sexual identity of heroes is determined by the cultural characteristics and religious understanding. Heroes, who have continuing conflict between love and faith, carry examplary personality in these masnavies. In cases where the hero makes mistakes, Islamist forces alerting them and leading them to the true and right way help to create a personality for example. Thus, religion in this masnavies conduces to develop main heroes, assistant heroes and forces, symbols and sexual roles around an Islamic perspective and maturates a love around faith
