Tadhkirat al-awliya

Tadhkirat al-awliya

Tadhkirat al-Awliya or Tadhkerat al-Awliya (Arabic:تذکرة الاولیا , literally "Biographies of the Saints") is a 72-chapter book written by the mystic and poet Attar about the life of famous Sufi people and their miraculous deeds (Karamats). This is probably the only work of Attar written as prose. It starts with a biography of Imam Jafar Sadiq , the Sixth Imam of Shia and ends with one of Mansur Al-Hallaj's , the Sufi Martyr. Although the title of the book is in Arabic , the text is in Persian.
