Abstract :
From the earliest period of Persian poetry, the sun has been a subject of attention, and in the 6th and 7th AH, Khāghānī Shirvāni, Attār Nishāburi and Mowlānā Jalāl-al Din Balkhi employed the image of the sun in their poems. But for Shahāb al-Din Suhrawardi (1155-1191), the Persian philosopher and mystic, the light and the sun have a special significance; according to him all creation is a successive outflow of the original supreme Light of Lights (Nur al-Anvar). This article tries to analyze the symbol of sun in the Allegorical Works of Suhrawardi, especially Loqat-e Murān.
