This manuscript belongs to the Safavid period (1056-1107) whose poems are Masnavi and have a mystical content. The text of this version is legible and in Nasta'liq script. The manuscript of Kas al-Karam is a single copy and a selection of mystical poems by poets such as Masnavi Manavi, Hadiqah al-Hafiqa Sanai and Asrarnameh by Farid al-Din Attar Neyshabouri and several other poets. In the poems of the manuscript of Kas al-Karam, ancient Persian words, Arabic words can be seen. The present article uses a descriptive-analytical method and relying on library sources to examine the author's view of the creation of man and love of God. The philosophy of creation of man and the world is one of the most fundamental issues that human beings have always sought to discover and recognize.
