Classical Persian literature is rich with the portrayal of and references to the story of the Ascension of the Prophet of Islam into heaven to meet God (mi'raj). According to the legend, the archangels Gabriel and Michael meet Prophet Muhammad and prepare him for his meeting with God. Gabriel and a winged mythical creature Buraq transport him overnight from Mecca to Jerusalem and then from Jerusalem to heaven, possibly using a ladder (mi?r?j). Mohammad and Gabriel proceed through seven levels of heaven to reach the throne of God. Numerous Persian poets have recast the story. Nezami (a 12th century Persian poet) has versified the story of the Ascension in almost all of his books, collectively known as Five Treasures (Panj Ganj). Building upon the works of Fouchecour, Gruber, Mesaimi, Burgel, Asfrayeni, Hematian, Porshekuh, Favai, and others, this paper raises a number of new questions. Why has Nezami portrayed the story of ascension in all of his work? How are these presentations different? What do they tell us about the author's approach to literature and poetry? Generally, critics of Persian poetry take these representations as a sign of religious and/or mystic belief of the poets who presented them. This paper provides a comparative analysis of the portrayal of the story of Ascension in Nezami's works to find the main driving motive in his various portrayals and renditions of the story. The paper further compares Nezami's presentation of the Story of Ascension (from all his five books) with those presented in Shiite and Suni sources on the Story of Ascension (books of me'raj) and with those of other poets and authors who recounted the story in their literary works. Moreover, the paper intends to explain Nezami's evolving literary thoughts through his rendering of the story overtime and the way each version in each of his masterpieces corresponds to his notion of the concepts of rhetoric and poesy. This inquiry is a continuation of the projects on Nezami's poetry in showing the connection between his treatment of different themes and subjects and his dedication to his profession.
