First four decades of seventh century is in such space. Thus, great figures in the history of mysticism who are important have been appeared in this era and the most important of them are as follows:

1-NAJMOLDIN KOBRA (death: 618):

He is one of the big stars in the mysticism. He was disciple of BABA FARAJ TABRIZI, SHEIKH ESMAIL GHASRI, SHEIKH AMAR YASER and RUZBAHAN BAGHLI and his groom. He has fostered many disciples. The most important of them are: SAADODIN HAMOUI, BABA KAMAL KHOJANDI and many more.
He started to study physical science, and became master in the said subject, so in debate, he was better than all. But at a meeting with BABA FARAJ TABRIZI, a change occurred in him, BABA FARAJ, gave him, his own cloak and asked him to leave the official sciences. Then in DEZFUL city, by munificence, became the disciple of SHEIKH ESMAIL GHASRI. For some time, he was under training of the said master, till he received the internal sciences.
One night in a dream, he found that, in internal science, he is same as his master and in appearance science, he is better than his master.
In the morning SHEIKH called him and said: get up and travel. Go to AMAR YASER and get training from him. KOBRA said to himself: I understood that, SHIKH came to know about my dream. So he went to AMAR and started to learn from him. After sometime, he saw the same dream. Again this master called him and told him: go to Egypt and learn from RUZBAHAN, he will remove the world from your head by a slap. When KOBRA reached to RUZBAHAN, he saw master was busy in taking the ablution. At this moment, he thought this religious ablution is not correct. KOBRA continuous: suddenly I saw a dream, it was resurrection day, many people were forced to go to hell, I saw SHIKH RUZBAHAN in my dream also, who gave me a hard slap, and I fell down, then SHIKH said: don’t deny the right people. Dream vanished, and I went to RUZBAHAN, and fell upon his feet. In reality, SHIKH gave me a hard slap and told me what he mentioned in dream. Then he ordered me to go back to AMAR YASER. And wrote a letter to AMAR and said: send as much as copper you have, I will convert them to gold.
NAJMODIN KOBRA was having another name also, some were calling him as scientist maker. It is because, he was finding the talented fellows and in short duration he was converting them to scientist. One of his miracles was prediction of Mongol invasion, and said: fire will raise from the east and will burn everything till west. when Mongols reached to KHARAZM, he sent away some talented fellows like SAADODIN HAMOUI and RAZIODIN ALI LALA, and ordered other of his companions for Jihad, and then said: I will be martyr here, when Mongols entered the city, he fought with pagan and became martyr in 618.

And since youth was trained by master. KOBRA, predicted about his death in sea, and after a short period, King MOHAMMAD KHARAZM, because of a problem, ordered to drown him in DEJLEH River. When the news reached to NAJMOLDIN, he said: we are from the God and we will return back to him, then he prayed to God and requested God to take revenge and demolish the kingdom of MOHAMMAD KHARAZM. When this news reached to the king, he approached to master and apologized for the murder. Master answered: very soon your head and mine and many will be cut off. In a short period Mongols event, appeared and many lost their lives.

ATTAR has seen all seven cities of love,
We are still wondering in an alley.
According to some quotes, MOLANA in childhood has met ATTAR in his old age, and ATTAR has given him, one of his important books by name of ASRAR NAMEH (letter of secrets).

JAMI writes about internal evolution of ATTAR:
One day a dervish approached the apothecary shop of ATTAR and asked something, but master did not pay attention. Then dervish asked the ATTAR: how you will die? And the master replied: just like you. And dervish again asked: can you? And master said: yes. Dervish had a wooden bowl, kept it under his head and said: God. And instantly died. This incident caused an internal evolution in ATTAR.

One day SHAMS TABRIZI asked KERMANI: what are you doing? He replied: I am looking at moon in the tub. If you want to do the right thing, why you are looking at sky, directly? that means, why you are searching on the ground and through earth sights, you are searching about sky`s values.
