The roots of the cultural, literary and religious commonalities of Iran and India can be traced back to the distant past, and many of the themes and allegories used in Iranian and Indian mystical texts are similar. The similarities between Islamic Sufism and the mysticism of other nations of the world are undoubtedly very noteworthy. Although there are common features in the experiences of world mysticism, one should not expect them to be expressed in the same words always and everywhere. This article examines the similarities between some of the customs and rituals of the two mystical schools of Islam and India. From a careful study of Indian sources and Persian Sufi books, there are many similarities in educational methods and conduct, the most important of which are: the value of human existence and its importance in mystical literature of Iran and India, the manifestation of love and knowledge in mysticism Iranian and Indian, the multiplicity of houses and authorities of conduct, the value and importance of the position of the heart, the value of the position of old man and mentor, asceticism and austerity, struggle against the soul, the theory of annihilation.

Biddle Dehlavi is a Persian mystic and poet of Indian style and brought up in the Indian subcontinent. He had a special view and expression on various issues. The purpose of this article is to study his style and level of thought and it wants to analyze the salient features of Biddle's style of thinking about the perfect man and find out whether his attitude is influenced by Islamic mysticism or Indian mysticism and what is the difference between his view and Indian mysticism in explaining the perfect man?

In this research, Biddle's poetry and thoughts are studied from the perspective of intellectual stylistics with descriptive-analytical method and library tools. The four main axes of Biddle's thoughts are: Anthropology in Biddle's thought, Man as the cause of creation, Muhammadiah truth, Man's perfection in Biddle's thought and Indian mysticism.

Biddle Dehlavi, although he was brought up in India and influenced by Hindu mysticism and philosophy, gives a comprehensive and complete definition of man and his characteristics by Islamic mysticism perspective and he has been influenced by Ibn Arabi's thoughts in this regard. The perfect man in Biddle's view is different from the man in Indian mysticism. According to the Buddha, the ultimate goal of man is to attain nirvana (silence) and the status of "Arhat" (perfect man), and his view is also different from that of yoga, which aims to achieve the status of "living freedom". In Biddle's view, the perfect human being is the complete mirror of God, the summary of the nobility and the best of the horizons, that is, the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). Biddle considers the purpose of creation to be the holy existence of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

One of the main themes in Biddle's intellectual level is the theory of the perfect man. In Biddle's view, man is a perfectionist being who can attain perfection through self-knowledge. In following these stages: self-knowledge, voluntary death and self-control, dignity, patience, trust in God and submission, and satisfaction play a special role in man's attainment of perfection. Biddle Dehlavi grew up in India, at the center of Indian philosophical thought and mystical schools. In this geographical space, the main source of his thoughts, in addition to Islamic sources, has been the study of Upanishads and Indian mysticism, but still his theory of the perfect man is Islamic and Ibn Arabi-like.

Familiarity with mysticism of Bidel Dehlavi is one of the most important ways to approach to his mystical thoughts. Annihilation is a recurrent thought in his poems. Being perished in an endless sea of reality and in the mystical journeys is of eminent importance. In the opinion of Bidel, mystical journey of a Gnostic is towards annihilation .The far end of mysticism is annihilation in God. The importance of perishing is so high that it has become one of the basic issues of different mysticisms all around the world. Nirvana is a noticeable example in Indian mysticism. Bidel is one of the great mystical poets in India and his favorite concepts in the field of mysticism are continuation of Mowlana Jalalo- din Balkhi and   Ebn-e- Arabi. 

One of the basic approaches to the existing critiques of Sohrab Sepehri enumerates the linguistic, semantic, and artistic values and features originally derived from the Islamic mysticism. Two trends are quite discernible in these comments:  proving the mystic nature of his thoughts and poems and, in contrast, rejection, refutation and even teasing the idea altogether. This paper, initially, states the problem and explains the affinity between Sepehri's poetry and Islamic mysticism. Then, a critical evaluative account of the views for and against Sepehri's alleged orientation towards Islamic mysticism is presented.
