RT Article T1 "A Linguagem dos Pássaros" (Mantiq-at-Tayr) e a mística do Islã JF Sacrilegens VO 7 IS 1 SP 102 OP 114 A1 Faria, Dilaci S. LA Portuguese PB Instituto de Ciências Humanas, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora YR 2010 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1837974365 AB The search for God is a central theme of most religions. Religious devotes try to find God in many ways. Some by practicing religion in an orthodox way; other by pursuing the simplicity of daily actions as a form of to reverence God face-to-face. Other, still, by resorting to allegoric language, in prose or verse, to realize the sacred. The Attar’s "Conference of Birds" belongs to the latter group. This book, written in 12th century´s Persia, is the testimony of the complexities, perseverance, delicacy and the difficulties that men have to go through to get near God.
