The poet, manoqibnavis, Mawlana Fakhruddin Ali Safi Kashifi Hirawi, who lived and worked in Herat during the XV-XVI centuries, is truly one of the leading scholars of the scientific and literary environment of Herat, a representative of the classical literature of the East. He is a great artist who made a worthy contribution to the literature of his time, in particular, to the literature of mysticism, with his unique creative activity and scientific-literary heritage. Ali Safi was a talented poet, well-known tazkiranavis and manoqibnavis, a famous preacher of his time (Navoi, Khandamir, Komi). Ali Safi Hirawi is a master calligrapher. also served as original secretary. Unfortunately, this aspect of the creative personality has not yet been specifically studied in science. We would like to dwell on this unique ability of the artist - the manuscript book “Sharh-i Fusus al-Hikam” (شرحى فصوص الحكم) , which is the result of his calligraphy, original writing and his fruitful work. “Sharh-i Fusus al-Hikam” is a large-scale mystical work by Mawlana Abdurahman Jami.
