The Spiritual and Religious Value of Poetry in Mosibat Nameh Section 24

In Section 24 of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the poet defends the art of poetry by attributing immense spiritual and religious value to it. Drawing on the perspective of the Prophet Muhammad, the poem suggests that 'under the tongues of poets' lie countless treasures of divine truth. Attar argues that rhythmic and harmonious verse brings dignity to speech, noting its presence in religious texts and sermons, thereby elevating poetry to a noble medium capable of expressing profound spiritual realities.
