【Summary】

Sullam al-Samāwāt is a multi-disciplinary encyclopedic work written by Shaykh Abū al-Qāsim Kāzarūnī, a descendant of prominent religious scholars. The book is organized into seven distinct sections (marqūm), each addressing a different field of knowledge.
The first section discusses the knowledge of God and divine unity. The second treats prophecy, the virtues of the Qurʾan, and the imamate of the Twelve Imams, supported by textual and rational evidence. The third section focuses on spiritual authority, miracles, mystical unveiling, occult sciences, and extraordinary phenomena.
The fourth section introduces a number of philosophers and samples of their works, while the fifth presents selected poets and exemplary verses. The sixth section consists of moral exhortations and self-addressed reflections, and the final section explores death, resurrection, and the ultimate fate of human beings.
Through this broad scope, the book represents a notable example of Persian encyclopedic writing that integrates theology, mysticism, philosophy, and literature within a single coherent framework.
