The subject of Mi‘raj, referring to the visionary ascent of a purified individual to metaphysical realms, has consistently attracted scholarly attention due to its ethical teachings and influence on social reform. Throughout centuries, from ancient times to the present, it has inspired numerous literary and iconographic works. This study focuses on two texts within this thematic context: Mi‘rajnameh by Mir Heydar and Dante’s Divine Comedy. Employing a case study approach, it analyzes a shared motif—the depiction of damned women—portrayed from Islamic perspectives in the former and Christian theological viewpoints in the latter. The central research question investigates how damned women are described and illustrated in these works, and what points of convergence and divergence exist between them. Comparative analysis reveals that although the texts elaborate various punishments inflicted upon women, all center around a singular sin rooted in the sacred essence of both religions. The attribution of the severest punishments to this sin in both texts results in greater similarity than difference in their portrayal of damned women.
