Abstract Khayyamiyat (Khayyameality) is a discursive system. The dialogue-based structure of this system shows that three discourses of Agnosticism, Sharia-orientation (Doctorine-based) and Mysticism are disputing and debating with each other in an “intra-discourse” way. What integrates this multifaceted controversy as a single discourse is its relation to the conceptual and paradoxical character named Omar Khayyam. The purpose of this article is to propound “Discursive Purgation and Repentance” in “premodern Khayyamiyat” construction in an attempt, in the first place, to reveal its discontinuity and, in the second place, to explain the discursive relation between Omar Khayyam and a “discursive Khayyam” through the very discontinuity and to describe and analyze the constructive nature of this discourse by referring to the historical sources and the tradition of Khayyamology. The present research applies constructivism and critical discourse analysis (CDA) as its methodology. The results of the research reveals that a continuity notion of Khayyamiyat discourse and a monolithic understanding of it thwart a true understanding and a thorough analysis of the discourse. In contrast, adherence to historical discontinuity and discursive conflict in this area of study can lead to an understanding of the constructive nature of the coherent and monolithic narrative of Khayyam as appears in rectifications, analyses, biographies, and expositions.
