Marg az dīdgāh-i Mawlānā, ‘Aṭṭār va Sanāyī

This monograph by Farībā Khājahʹvand offers a comparative study of the concept of death within the mystical frameworks of three paramount Persian poets: Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭār, and Sanāyī. Published in Gurgān, the work analyses how these Sufi masters reframe death not as an end, but as a transitional stage (intiqāl) essential for spiritual evolution. The text details the concept of voluntary death (marg-i ikhtiyārī) and classifies mystical death into four chromatic categories: white, green, black, and red. Khājahʹvand explores themes such as the separation of the soul (rūḥ) from the body, the overcoming of the fear of death, and the view of the afterlife as a return to the Divine origin. By juxtaposing the specific philosophical nuances of Rūmī, ‘Aṭṭār, and Sanāyī, the book illuminates the central role of mortality in Persian Sufism.
