Abstract :
The path to reach Hazrate Haq is a long and winding path. In order to successfully cross this difficult passage, one must know the road obstacles well. The purpose of this research is to investigate the obstacles to human perfection and the way to face these obstacles in the Manteqolteyr of Attarnishabouri. The author has used the descriptive method with the content analysis method for writing and useing the descriptive and rational reasoning method to analyze the information. It is necessary to carry out this research because Attar has used a special method to express the obstacles to perfection and how to deal with them in Manteqolteyr, which is definitely more effective than others. In this research, any factor (from Attar's point of view) that prevents a person from attaining closeness to God is referred to as "obstacle". Based on the results of the study, factors such as: worldliness, egoism, status quo, ignorance, etc. are obstacles to God's approach and human perfection, and the seeker of God must know these obstacles and ways to face them; so that he can achieve true perfection.
