Abstract :

The Resurrection and the life after death have always been mysterious and unknown, so this leads to more fear from death. thus, to clarify the nature of the Resurrection as one of the most important roots in the Persian poetry, it is essential to survey the thoughts of the mystics and the religious books. Attar Neyshaburi, the Iranian impactful poet, had a profound thought on the Resurrection, widely expressed in his poems. In this article, presenting the preliminaries of mysticism as a way to discover the truths, the researcher referring to the concept of the Resurrection in the Persian and Arabic dictionaries surveys its reflection in the poems of Attar as one of the outstanding Mystic figures and reviews the factors of prosperity or failure in the Resurrection through his views, and indicates that the Holy Quran has been the source of Attar's religious thoughts.
