Abstract: Mysticism is a significant aspect of the Islamic religion, as it seeks to understand God and discover truths. Persian literature has a strong connection to mysticism, particularly in poems about the Prophet's Household. These themes became prominent after the Islamic Revolution, as Islamic rituals were revived. A study of Persian Hasani poetry revealed that poets used mystical terms like heart, longing, kindness, madness, and dignity to express their loyalty to Imam Hassan. They also called for abandoning the world as an obstacle to understanding God. The poems were distinguished by intellectual and moral richness, using rhetorical and aesthetic devices.
