Gnostic is a mystical religion which, although raised from Christianity, cannot be considered a pure Christian religion. This ritual includes various stages such as Manichaeism, Mandaeans, Simeon ritual, Valentin, Basilidis, Marcion, etc. The Gnosians had a dual view and believed the world was created by the evil God. The basic principle of Gnostic beliefs is that the human soul is captive in this world, and the way to salvation and liberation is to reach the Gnosis, which is brought to man by divine messengers, such knowledge is reached the heart, not the mind. This belief in Islamic mysticism is also considered as one of the most important and fundamental points and there is a lot of similarity in the viewpoint of Gnosticism and Islam. In the works of great mystic poets like Attar, signs of Gnostic beliefs can be found.
