Al-Ghazali is considered to be one of the most influential persons in Islamic history insofar as he contributed to the union of Sufism and Orthodox Islam. He provided a theological and philosophical background to Sufism, and the colorful literary expression of this mystical thinking was perfected in Persian poetry by Hafiz Shirazi and Omar Khayyam.
Hafiz Shirazi is renowned for his Diwan, which uses lyrical poetry to express the soul's longing for the Divine, a central theme in Sufi thought.
Umar Khayyam is famous for his Rubaiyat, which explores philosophical and mystical questions regarding life and fate, often interpreted through a Sufi lens in literary tradition.
