There have been many discussions among the historians of religions about the influence of the concepts of Fana and Nirvana, which, despite being fruitful, have been inconclusive and have not led to a definite conclusion. This disagreement seems to have been originated from purely theological interpretations outside the historical framework. In the meantime, there has been a hidden and perhaps unintentional tendency to highlight the semantic differences between the two concepts of Fana and Nirvana, especially by Iranian scholars,  who have used the interpretation of Sufi death and Fana in their virtual meanings. This article is an attempt to show the Buddhist-Sufi religious interactions based on historical evidences and clues and the issue of corpse in Sufi narrations as well as the use of common symbols in Buddhist literature and Persian mystical texts in the common geographical space of the Great Khorasan. Such an investigation has been neglected in the field of interdisciplinary research. The research method in this paper was historical research based on library sources.

The ultimate goal and the destination of the mystical path in Islam is Fana, and in Buddhism is Nirvana. Reaching to both destinations is through elimination of desires. There are so many similarities between Fana and Nirvana that sometimes they are considered as identical concepts. Fana and Nirvana are mystical experiences and can also be studied through the lens of theories on mystical experiences. One of these theories is Constructivism, which believes mystical experiences are processed through and organized by beliefs and expectations that the mystic brings to the experience. In the Constructivist view, the mystic goes through mystical experience, while he is contextualized with the established doctrines and concepts of his religion, and since established doctrines and concepts of various religions are profoundly different, mystical experiences could not be the same. In this article, we attempt to study Fana and Nirvana through the lens of Constructivism. We argue that the difference between these two faiths is drawing their mystics’ mystical path genuinely different inasmuch as these paths would not end up in the same destination, and thus, Fanā and Nirvana are profoundly different. This article begins with a brief explanation of mystical experience and a short introduction on Constructivism and Essentialism; then continues by describing some principal doctrines on Fanā and Nirvana and recommended instructions to reach them, and finally ends with a comparison of these teachings and conclusion of the argument.

Abu Saeid Aboalkhair is a mystic of Khorasan School that Theories and thoughts in of This school are close to Eastern thoughts. Sepehri is one of the famous contemporary poets that many has been said about his poems, especially about his mystical thoughts. There are several views about his poems sush as:Iranian Islamic mystical principles, Hindi and Eastern mystical principles, or without any Mysticism.

In order to lighten the nature and quality of his Mysticism, we have selected term of Fana among so mony mystical terms and concepts in his poemsWe have to express and compare them with also tried Abo saeid Abolkheir terms, one of the greatest of muslim mystics.

One controversial argument in Islamic Sufism and mysticism is the position of annihilation (fana). Whereas believers in mysticism and Sufism consider fana to be the destination for disciples, who long to achieve this position, the opponents regard it to be illogical and illegitimate. Fana has sometimes been considered identical with the Hindu Nirvana and has sometimes been taken to mean physical annihilation. The present article analyzes the reality of fana and critiques the arguments of the pros and cons.

According to the commentaries on Massnavi, especially Naynameh no commentator has ever paid attention to the multiple meanings of Hoosh which goes beyond its literal meaning. In addition to its literal meaning which deals with smartness and intelligence, it can refer to mortality. The researcher believes that according to the text of Naynameh, between its two different meanings, the concept of Hoosh is more the associated with mortality. Hoosh meaning death indicates the mystical idiom of Fana and this is completely applicable to the contextual implication of Naynameh. To provide some evidence the researcher refers the readers to some relevant parts of Naynameh in this study.
