 The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical based on library studies and the method of document analysis among the symbolic stories of Attar"s mystery. In this research, the samples were randomly and systematically selected.

 The results of this research show that the symbols used in the stories of Asrarnameh belong to the field of mysticism and Sufism, and its function is to objectify these teachings and concepts with a simple and fluent language and symbolically.

 The results of the research show that in Asrarnameh, the symbols are simple and understandable, and their origin is mostly in the field of humans and objects. Human symbols such as king, slave, lover, lover, sage, old man, Murad, disciple are used significantly. In most of these stories, Attar has referred to concepts such as poverty, annihilation, leaving the world, removing the hijab, fighting the ego, and leaving relationships.
