Abstract
In mystical terms, revelation means the revelation of spiritual truths and occult matters to the heart of a mystic. The mystic's immediate confrontation with the truths of affairs in the revelations contains valuable points in spiritual issues and efficient and theoretical mysticism. Attar's Tazkira Al-Awliya contains many revelations and anecdotes about the findings, discoveries, and mystical intuitions of mystics, which the eloquence of words, tone, and atmosphere of speech in Tazkira Al-Awliya have given it a special edge. To change the behavior and attitude of his audience, Attar has narrated the revelations of mystics and has used an improvisational style to define and teach mystical teachings. Therefore, the present article examines the persuasive style and rhetorical tricks of the revelations of Tazkira al-Awlia in teaching the basics of practical and theoretical mysticism. The method of conducting this research is descriptive-analytical and based on library sources. The result of this research indicates that Attar, in narrating the revelations of the saints, uses a persuasive style such as preaching, warning, hinting, and questioning indirectly by arousing the emotions and thoughts of the audience, creating a sense of fear or passion, associating the revelation in the mind and identifying with the mystic. , deals with the teaching of authorities and conditions in Islamic mysticism, such as monotheism, manifestation, knowledge of truth, guardianship, and the perfect human being
