Among all different historical periods, the Qajar period has received less attention from scholars of mysticism and Sufism in Shiite ritual poetry (Ashura poetry). In this historical period, with the arrival of the manifestations of modernity in Iran, we face many changes in all dimensions and aspects of politics, economics, etc. but it was not easy to accept modern Western culture and civilization with its secularist characteristics in a society whose foundation was based on religious beliefs. Hence, Ashura poetry struggled with the manifestations of modernity in the contemporary world with a mystical approach. The reflection of this opposition can be well seen in <em>Ganjinat Al-Asrar</em> of Amman Samani. The present study has been done using a descriptive-analytical approach based on library data. It answers the question of how the confrontation between the tradition and the manifestations of Western modernity in the Qajar period and in the Ashura mystical poetry of this period has emerged. The results of the study indicate that in these poems, unity, love, and attention to the collective spirit in the uprising of Imam Hussein (AS) as the manifestation of the perfect man are in opposition to the manifestations of Western modernity.
