Attār telah banyak memberikan kontribusi pemikirannya dalam khasanah keilmuan Islam esoteris (tasawuf). Ia mengemas ajaran tasawufnya dalam bentuk puisi dan syair, —sehingga tampak lebih menarik— meskipun ajaran-ajaran yang disampaikan kurang lebih sama dengan para sufi pendahulunya, terutama yang menganut paham mystical union; dan Attār adalah di antara sufi yang telah berhasil mencapai puncak tertinggi dalam perjalanan mistisnya itu. Menurut Attār, ada tujuh lembah yang harus dilalui sālik dalam menempuh perjalanan mistisnya, sebagaimana disebutkan dalam Manthiq al-Thayr. Dalam karyanya ini, Attār menggunakan bahasa puisi dan syair untuk mengungkap proses seorang hamba menuju Tuhan melalui tahapan-tahapan (Maqāmāt), dan Attār memberikan perumpamaan maqāmāt tersebut seperti burung-burung yang terbang mencari rajanya. Attār menyebut maqāmāt tersebut dengan istilah lembah-lembah, yang jumlahnya ada tujuh lembah Kata-kata Kunci: Maqāmāt, tujuh lembah, fanā’, cinta ilahi
