Themes of Ahmad Azizi's Poetry

Ahmad Azizi can be introduced as a mystic and a revolutionary Shiite philosopher. A sort of red and revolutionary Shiism expressed in the language of mysticism and Islamic philosophy. Azizi has the passion and happiness of Mowlana and that could be the reason why he reveals his love of Mowlana more distinctly than others. His love of music is the result of his passion most manifest in the language of music. Another feature of Azizi’s mysticism is his being a naturalist which is indicative of Sohrab's influence on him. The principle of Unity of Existence can be observed in the ideas of Azizi; this principle is based on the independence and separation of things from each other, and states that this world is an illusion and all things manifestations of one reality. The first person who introduced this principle into theoretical discussions was Sheikh Akbar Mohi-o-Din Arabi, the founder of the school of Unity of Existence.
