        2 - Guardianship and its relation to prophecy and mission in mysticism
        Mohammad Ebrahim  Zarrabiha

        The truth of the governorship is that it is a divine word. Its principle is constant in the heavens. "Governorship" has its own levels and steps, its laws and its provisions are numerous based on its dimensions. Guardianship is one of the most important issues of mysticism which realizes in perfect human. This world is the same as the appearance of God, and the Lord is present in his own manifestation. Therefore, human as a part of this world is the manifestation of God. Here, the concept of guardianship is meaningful. The perfect guardian is who has all the attributes of God, and this person is no other than the true prophet. The system of the world and the afterworld depends on the existence of the Muhammadiyah truth. Such a truth is the lord of all manifestations due to the credit of Guardianship principle. The truth of Muhammadiyah is the main pole of the universe, which all Prophets and Divine Guardians are the ranks of this great name. His prophecy includes all kinds of absence and intuition, and when it is realized in a person, it is divided into a special and popular guardianship. The special guardianship is the source of prophecy, and as one of the divine names is eternal, but prophecy ends over time. Perfect Guardian rule the world based on divine attributes. Therefore, the Guardianship position is the Great Divine Book and the version of great world. This study seeks to examine the connection between these three concepts of the guardianship, prophecy and prophetic mission and analyses the principle of prophecy and prophetic mission, which is the same guardianship position.

        3 - Transition from Intellectual Philosophy to Esoteric Wisdom in the Ideas of Ikhwan al-Safa (An Analysis of Early Encounters of Muslim Thinkers with Philosophy)
        Hasan  Bolkhari Qehi

        The present paper initially discusses and explores the early applications of philosophical terms and their meanings in Islamic culture. Then it clarifies the dominant approach followed by those Muslim thinkers who try to reconcile Shari‘ah with philosophy through using an acceptable concept in religion by resorting to the term hikmah (which is a purely Qur’anic term). This is an approach which managed to result in a kind of esoteric wisdom between the second and fourth centuries (AH) through employing such concepts as t’awil (interpretation) in the Qur’an and promoting the interest in piety and gnosis. Ikhwan al-Safa, who exercised a huge influence on the development of wisdom and philosophy in Islamic culture, are among the pioneers of the above approach. By composing a corpus of 54 Epistles, called Rasa’il, they took a great stride towards reconciling Shari‘ah with philosophy and explaining the concept of wisdom and, particularly, Batini wisdom. Here, following an analytic-historical approach, the writer performs a conceptual analysis of the two terms of philosophy and wisdom during the first period of the rise of philosophical thought in Islamic civilization. Besides, he deliberates on the efforts of Ikhwan al-Safa in order to reach a kind of esoteric wisdom, which is a synthesis of a completely philosophical and, at the same time, Qur’anic (and narrative) approach. This was an approach which inevitably advocated the unity of religion and philosophy in order to demonstrate such a synthesis. Manuscript profile

        4 - Henry Corbin’s Studies of Islamic Gnosis with an Emphasis on Hermetic Tradition
        Hossein  Kalbasi Ashtari Hassan  Pashayi
        Based on the studies conducted by a group of Orientalists and Islamologists, the effects of Hermetic thoughts on not only Western religious and philosophical traditions but also on Iranian culture and Islamic philosophy, in general, and on Shaykh Ishraq’s works, in part More
        Based on the studies conducted by a group of Orientalists and Islamologists, the effects of Hermetic thoughts on not only Western religious and philosophical traditions but also on Iranian culture and Islamic philosophy, in general, and on Shaykh Ishraq’s works, in particular, have been quite noteworthy. As a result, a more accurate study of this topic could introduce some new horizons in the realm of comparative religions. Henry Corbin’s studies of Iranian wisdom and spirituality, which follow a phenomenological approach, have paid particular attention to this issue. In a sense, Hermes and Hermetism play significant roles in deciphering the messages of his works in this regard. In his research endeavors, Corbin has focused on Hermetic philosophy as the key to understanding the meanings of spirituality and wisdom. This paper is mainly intended to provide an analytic account of Hermetism, its relationship and interactions with Sufism and Shi‘ism with an emphasis on Corbin’s works. To this end, the writers initially review the structure and basic principles of the Hermetic tradition. Then they provide an analysis of the relationship between Hermetism and Sufism and Shi‘ism from Corbin’s point of view. Finally, they explore his Batini (esoteric) approach, which lies at the heart of his philosophy and underlies his distinctive method of scientific and spiritual wayfaring. Manuscript profile

        5 - Methodology of T’awil in the View of Fayd Kashani with an Emphasis on the Role of Ontology
        Nafiseh  Ahl Sarmadi
        In Fayd Kashani’s view, t’awil (esoteric interpretation) is a strategy for attaining the innermost and depth of meaning. He believes that denying t’awil is a sign of superficiality. His writings, particularly his two books of ‘Ayn al-yaqin and Usul al-m‘arif and his Miz More
        In Fayd Kashani’s view, t’awil (esoteric interpretation) is a strategy for attaining the innermost and depth of meaning. He believes that denying t’awil is a sign of superficiality. His writings, particularly his two books of ‘Ayn al-yaqin and Usul al-m‘arif and his Mizan al-qiyamah treatise, testify to the supreme place of ontology in discovering the secrets of religious teachings. Fayd’s research in the field of t’awil is based on his philosophical-gnostic thoughts. He conceives of ontology as a window through which one should view the vast spread of revealed teachings. The writer believes that the treatise of al-Insaf introduces Fayd’s methodology of t’awil. Moreover, it describes the process of the writer’s journey towards the truth. According to this gnostic philosopher, some of the conditions that are necessary for one’s attaining the knowledge of t’awil include recognizance of theoretical and practical wisdom, spiritual perfection, patience, and truth seeking.

        6 - A Comparative Study of the Views of Mullā Ṣadrā and ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī Regarding Ambiguous Verses in the Qur’an
        Davood  Saemi

        According to Mullā Ṣadrā and ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī, Qur’anic verses enjoy both exoteric and esoteric meanings. When dealing with ambiguous verses, one must focus on their exoteric meanings and not to ignore them. In the view of both philosophers, the understanding of ambiguous or metaphorical verses is relative and depends on individuals’ virtues and level of knowledge. They believe that knowledgeable people know the different meanings of ambiguous verses and, in fact, do not see any ambiguity there. However, based on the theory of specific oneness, Mullā Ṣadrā contends that all levels of being, from the highest to the lowest, enjoy existential hierarchy. Therefore, he maintains that, without needing to interpret ambiguous verses or the idea of incarnation regarding the essence of the Almighty, one can maintain the exoteric meaning of the verses based on the philosophical-gnostic principles of the specific oneness of being and interpret the meanings of ambiguous verses based on their surface meanings. In this way, the word “ambiguous” is semantically expanded. Nevertheless, ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī believes in referring ambiguities to clear definitions and interprets ambiguous verses based on clear ones. He acknowledges the possibility of interpretation of all Qur’anic verses, whether ambiguous and straight forward, and states that all ambiguous verses can be clarified by referring to unambiguous ones. In this study, the author sides with Mullā Ṣadrā’s view in comparison to ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī’s because he finds it of a more solid and principled basis. Manuscript profile

        7 - Possibility and characteristics of transcendent obligatory presence knowledge from Ibn Arabi's point of view

        Ibn Arabi, as one of the prominent philosophers in the field of the possibility and characteristics of the knowledge of the necessary, transcendent presence, has raised issues and arguments. This article intends to examine Ibn Arabi's views on the possibility and characteristics of transcendent obligatory presence knowledge with an analytical approach. The study of Ibn Arabi's views in this regard indicates that from Ibn Arabi's point of view, present knowledge is one of the true and certain conditions and knowledge, and the seeker of the knowledge of the Supreme Being must step on the path of present knowledge. Ibn Arabi's presence knowledge and knowledge is based on esoteric observation, so in Ibn Arabi's view, knowledge and knowledge is an inadequate and unreal product. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to express the views of Ayatollah Allameh Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai (RA), Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli on the truth of the secrets of worship (prayer, Hajj). The purpose of explaining the truth of the secrets of worship is to pay attention to the special and privileged endowment that man has in the universe, and that is to know the origin and creator of the world with absolute perfection, and then to move and move spiritually towards him, pouring all kinds of pollutions. Material is one of the areas of existence and intensification of the essence of the soul and enlightenment to the light of truth. Enjoying this feeling of attaining nearness to God, which is absolute beauty and silent perfection, and this is the supreme virtue of asceticism and disconnection from the world, which is born of the light of mysticism and man's full attention to the higher world. Zikr and supplications are with God and God says. For me, prayer is the pillar of prayer, and with its acceptance, other deeds will be accepted, and therefore the secrets of that pillar are the secrets of religion, and if the secrets of prayer are obtained and observed, the secrets of other deeds will also be obtained and observed.

        9 - Clarifying the dignity of self-examination in proving the absolutism of imagination in supreme wisdom

        In transcendental wisdom, imagination is one of the levels of perception, and the power of imagination is considered one of the types of inner senses. Malasdra has established several proofs for the isolation of this power. In the present article, first, one of the most important proofs of the power of imagination It is investigated and after that, it has been tried to explain its aspects in the issue of abstraction of the imagination, considering the importance of self-importance in relation to perceptual forms. In the transcendental wisdom, considering the dignity of the soul, the ratio of the power of imagination to imaginary forms is not the ratio of ability and passivity; Rather, it is an active and emitting relationship, that is, the soul invents and composes imaginary forms. The mentioned claim is based on the fact that the soul goes through the process of perception, including sensory, imaginary and intellectual perception, and is the subject of sensory, imaginary and intellectual forms in each stage of perception. At the beginning of creation, the soul lacks all levels of perception; But during the path of physical movement, it gradually reaches the stage of creating and composing images. The above theory has some ambiguities, ambiguities that also affect the celibacy of the imagination, and without solving these ambiguities, the proof of the celibacy of the imagination is not free from problems and problems. The expression of these ambiguities can be clear and precise when in The present research can be aimed at explaining, evaluating and investigating these uncertainties. Manuscript profile

        <p>Imamate is the first controversial issue in the history of Islam. After the death of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), sects and categories emerged among Muslims, among which esotericism was one of the main characteristics of Ismailia among Islamic sects and sects. The main question of the research is: What are the esoteric thoughts about Imam Masoom? In the esoteric thought, the imam is the absolute representative of God in religious and non-religious matters (outward and inward), and the interpretation of the Qur'an is reserved for the infallible imam, and any kind of learning related to the Sharia or beliefs is possible only through the imam or his representative. The findings of this research show that by examining the early formation and evolution of this religion and the historical conditions affecting it, the reasons and trends of Ismailia's tendency towards esotericism emerged. In the same period, according to the requirements of the discourse governing the Islamic society, the Ismailis decided to present evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah to prove their religious and political claims. Therefore, they investigated the position of the infallible Imam in the Qur'an and stated that the words of the Qur'an have an inner meaning that only a few know.</p> Manuscript profile
