By fascinate and comprehensive story, he presented scientific and fundamental causes of the emergence and how are these warfare and the ways of infiltration deal with them, Rumi's aim in these two allegories is to establish peace and eliminate one of the major causes of warfare and bloodshed, in this study has been used the ontology of dual opposites of Levi-Strauss to analyze the elements and tools of the two models of hard and soft warfare based on the structure of Rumi's narrative of Saussure and Succession semiotics. As a result, Rumi, as an expert and experienced politician, has been rooting and discovering why and how this warfare and their continuation throughout the ages have brought about global unity and peace.
