Auhaduddin Kermani

Shaikh Abu Hamid Auhadeddin Kermani was a 13th-century Sufi and poet from Persia.

He is the author of Mathnavi Misbāhu'l-arvāh ("the lantern of souls"), which is an allegorical pilgrimage through imaginary towns, bearing some affinity to Dante's Divina Commedia ("Divine Comedy").

He was suspected of heresy, and is thought to have died in 1298.
