Abstract :

The sublime personality and prophetic character of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) has always been one of the centers of thematic creation and illustration of poets and writers in Persian literature. Especially at the beginning of their speech, after praising the Creator, they paid attention to the glorification of the Prophet, the position of Prophethood, and especially the finality and centrality of his existence in the whole universe. The descriptive-analytical method of the image of the Prophet (PBUH) in the two books of Mersad al-Ebaad and Kashf al-Mahjoub, which are among the most important texts in Persian literature, should be examined and compared. In this regard, showing the superiority of the Great Prophet, the need for more knowledge of that Imam and the expression of the Khaatam and the obsolescence of other religions by the Prophet (PBUH) can be expressed. Like Moses, Abraham, etc., the law of the Prophet, especially the fact that the author of both books is bound to it and the reasons for sending the law of the Prophet and other aspects of its dimensions Characteristic and historical aspects of that Imam, such as being the mediator of creation, ascension, not having a shadow of the Prophet, etc., have been considered from the perspective of Najm Dayah and Hujviri. The results of the research show the special position of the Prophet and his Shari'a in the mystical behavior of both mystics.
