The Rubaiyat & The Manners of Kings

The Rubiayat expresses the principle: Enjoy life fully while you can. It teaches views on love, life, death, and other components of life the Persians valued. Seljuk Turks took over the Persian Empire and Omar Khayyam wrote The Rubaiyat to protest, peacefully. The Persians needed something to take their mind of the stressful situation. The Manners of Kings outlined how Persian rulers should guide their nation. Society wants to have their president, prime minister, king, queen, or other national authority to be kind, charitable, just, and open to what the people have to say.
