Safi Al-Din Hilli and ‘Attar is two great Islamic poets. They have very remarkable eulogies for Our Holy Prophet. Both of them have talked about his “mi ‘raj” (holy journey to heaven), his outstanding character, his various virtues, his highness, etc. However, ‘Attar has expressed these instances both directly and indirectly. While Hilli has stated them in a direct way. The indirect cases expressed by ‘Attar is very artistic and mystical. But Hilli has eulogized him in a poetical and earthly manner and historically.
Hilli is Shiite and ‘Attar is Sunni but both of these poets have considered the religion in a moderate and unified way.
