Mystical look at poet and poetry

(Based on Persian mystical manuscript)

Abstract

Poetry and mysticism have compatibility in nature; in this way, even though religious-oriented Sufis and amorist mystics have looked at poetry with a view to religious concepts, they have had different approaches to poetry and poets: Sanaie and Mowlavi are to be considered. Some of the mystics who have written books in this field are divided into two groups: those who do not consider it permissible to use the works of romantic poetry, and those who consider this interpretation to be in line with Sharia teachings. In this article, after collecting data from  Quran and the words of the Prophet, rhetoricians, literary scholars and thinkers, and also mystic and Sufi writers and poets, these questions have been addressed qualitatively using the content analysis method: What are the convergences and divergences of Sharia and poetry? Why have they turned to him even though they considered a poet as inferior? Or is mysticism really a poetic expression of religious teachings? The purpose of tracing this discourse is to reach the conclusion that: Religion wants poetry and poets to be in the service of spirituality, and mysticism wants to help a person with poetry so that they can win over the ego. Mystical Persian-Dari poetry shows well that it has been able to fulfill its mission in the way of liberating human beings from the bondage of yesterday and today.
