Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

In the study of literature on the subject of Satan, we understand different aspects and currents in Sufi literature in general, and in the poems of Attar and Sanai, specifically. The conflict between Jesus and the Devil, common theme in the works of these two poets although in the function and element the differences can be seen. Both poets believe in the daily involvement of Satan in human life.

Considering the contradictory views that they have expressed about it, here, we can ask a question about the difference between Sanaei and Attar’s view in this struggle. To answer the question we can say: The Devil approaches human being by tricks. For example, as a Leader or consellor he convicts jesus for rubbing a piece of rock in parts of the world. With descriptive and analytic method have analysed Devil tricks.
