Abstract :

Most of the time scientists and scholars have had viewpoints on human being, God and the universe. One might find shared points in the considerations of the scientists and scholars that have been influencedby each other or have lived at the same time. The present research is  on comparison and inviolability to divine characteristics (a matter of eloquence) in the works of two scholars. One is a philosopher poet wholived in Ghazna in Iranian territory and the other a poet philosopher who lived in Andalusia. They are namely Sanā’ī the 5th century poet and Ibn ‘Arabī the 7th century thinker. Although these scholars lived in two different eras they have had similar ideas on comparison and inviolability to divine characteristics.
