Attar is undoubtedly one of the exceptions of Iranian and Islamic mysticism. The creation of works such as Al-Tayr al-Tair, Elahi Namah, and Bailat Namah, alone, is a sufficient testimony to the greatness and greatness of his thought and the greatness of his position in mysticism and Sufism. However, Attar's brilliance in the field of mysticism and mysticism has caused many of his thoughts to be neglected.One of them is his political and social reflections. In this article, we intend to describe his social and political thoughts in the socio-political context of the 6th century by examining and analyzing some examples of Attar's poetry in relation to the mystical school he belonged to.Therefore, first we evaluate his works from a social perspective and examine his position in facing the society, and then we analyze the political capacity of his works in the form of two discussions of the foundations of political thought and the typology of his political criticisms.There is no doubt that due to the importance of the role and position of Sufism in Iranian and Islamic civilization, researches like this, while they can reveal aspects of these texts that were hidden behind the aesthetic and epistemological veil before, will help to understand the evolution of political ideas. and social help a lot
