In this essay, "Where is Khezr?" composed by Dr. Taqi Pournamdarian, is analyzed based on an intertextual approach. The purpose of this research is to illuminate the relation of pictures in this poem with classic poem, showing the relation of components of mystical, epic, lyric genres and the type of their combination in the creation of contemporary romantic poem. The word "Khezr" has mystical and epic implications. According to the feature of Khezr who is the helper of the lost, it is expected that the narrator of "Where is Khezr?" be confused and wandering in spiritual journey abstinence domains. Such implications can be observed in words and terms like "darkness", "alkahest" (i.e. water of life), "the desert of night". On the other hand, based on the content of poem, there would rise this question that how are elements of poem and its different semantic implications interrelated to each other? The results of the current research shows that this poem is lyric and it describes an earthly beloved, but there are symbols of other genres. The narrator of the poet passes difficult stages like an epic hero to reach their target, for example s/he passes darkness land. Fourfold sections of the poem associates four seasons. These seasons are periodical like epic time and do not have linear circuit. Separation and tinker would occur simultaneously with passing of different seasons. This poem is the product of conflux and different genre association which is emerged from the unconscious of the poet who had lived in the ecology of cultural worlds. In this article the intertextual analysis of poem was applied and components of different genres were compared and analyzed and their ratio in producing a coherent and structured text was also reviewed.

To better understand the Persian literature, knowing mystical expressions is necessary because the mysticism and mystical thought is the spirit of Persian literature. Expressions such as “Fath”, “Fotuh” and Fath-e-bab have been frequently used in different literary works. In this research, regarding their various meanings, looked up in literary texts, we will briefly follow the changes in the meanings and interpretations of the expressions “Fath”, “Fotuh” and Fath-e-bab” through distinguished mystical and literary works from the beginning to their growth and again their descend. In some works, “Fath”, “Fotuh” and Fath-e-bab have been used interchangeably, or one has been used for the others. The word “Fath” was originally taken from the Qur’an by mystics and literati and turned to a loaded remark. In fact, the various significances of these mystical expressions originated from the words of Qur’an as seeds which gradually became a fruitful tree of huge foliage in the works of Mowlana.

The subject of this paper relates to comparative literature and the impact the literary figures, thinkers and illustrators have taken from Persian literary works; especially Rumi’s most significant and prominent works. The method of research in this essay is referential and inductive. We have made an attempt to become familiar with the great American and English men of letters; ones who have compiled important works through either translation or adaptation and made a serious effort to introduce the Persian literature, especially Rumi’s poetry in the English speaking countries. Since the eighteenth century, and following movements such as studying Iran, Islam, and the East, Persian literature was noticed and therefore some of the literary men, scientists, and illustrators begun translating and adapting the Persian literary works. It was in the same century that the study of Rumi’s works became significant. The English and American Transcendentalists both idealized the school of Transcendentalism through studying and having researches on Rumi’s works. It was about late nineteenth century, in 1870, that Mankar Daniel Canoy published The Sacred Anthology of Oriental Texts. Some of Rumi’s stories stated the ideals of social moral and behavioral issues. William R. Alger, one of Emerson’s friends, published The First American Anthology of Oriental Literature. Edward J. Brown translated the prose introduction of The First Volume of Massnavi into English. The climax of studies on Rumi’s works was done by Reynold Elaine Nicholson; who published eight books for the interpretation and paraphrase of Massnavi and actually devoted fifteen years of his life to this issue. Arthur J. Arbery is counted as one of the great thinkers in the field of Rumi studies. James J.Koan, an art teacher, rewrote fifty of the selected poems from Nicholson’s Poetry- taken from Shams Tabrizi’s Book of Poetry- in a modern poetic structure. And finally Andrew Harroy created some works as memorials of Rumi’s works. Manuscript profile

Saeb Tabrizi was a talented literary man who earned fame in his own time in India, Iran and mid-Asia. As a matter of fact, once Saeb created new methods in poetry, and simultaneously discussed precise moral, social, mystical and thoughtful points, he gained such honor and position. These features granted a particular grandeur and magnificence to his poetry; especially his sonnets. Saeb’s poetic style goes back to the methods used by the poets of the Safavi era; possessing rich, subtle and specific themes, thoughts and also rare visions and imaginations; specifically true in the case of his parables or equivalents. Many of the scholars and researchers have merely considered the subtle literary themes, in addition to the imaginative and abstract words in the survey and study of Saeb’s sonnets. Yet they have constantly neglected one point; his poetic verses enjoy pure and prominent mystical and Gnostic expressions. Actually Saeb has never been considered as a mystical poet faithful to Gnostic and mystical thoughts in the Safavi era. The writer of this paper intends to prove that Saeb’s poetry not only enjoys literary, social, thoughtful, and moral aspects, but also bears grand mystical themes. Saeb is actually a very modest poet whose sonnets are a manifestation of Gnostic thoughts and attitudes. Anyhow, no one regarded him as a mystical poet and he was always introduced as a poet following the Indian School innovating creative methods and offering rare and witty contents. Saeb himself never regarded himself mystical either. Manuscript profile

At the beginning of the fifth century, Khorasan suffered from insecurity, poverty and disorder as it was the major center of the political revolutions. Also the instability of the kings and princes led to the oppression of peoples' rights and the promotion of hypocrisy and flattery as a culture. In this situation most of the scientists and the official learned men were either pawns in the hands of the authority and the political authorities, or chose to isolate themselves and seal their lips in mere silence and surrender. But Abu-Saeed Abol-Kheir, a social mystic, reacted properly against pretension and seduction by relying on a humorous and affectionate behavior and speech. At the same time he was quite aware of what others thought; counted as a clue for the guidance of people and simultaneously supporting the oppressed and devastated ones. This article intends to show the relation and accordance between the events and incidents of those days and Abu-Saeed's reactions and behaviors. In this relation we have also tried to reveal the extent he was influenced by the social and political events and issues of the time as well. Manuscript profile

Runing away of good-name and praising of bad-name and public disgrace, is one of the characteristics of libertine school and amatory mysticism which is emphasized in sayings of mystics, works of poets and behaviour of libertines. The cloth of famousness, is a troublefull finding which splashes the dye of hypocrisy and sham on the stature of worship and devotion and covers the face of sincerity and honesty. Therefore, the fight with such a characteristics, always has been one of the mental disturbances of the real mystics and truth finders. They always have shown the various ways of breaking jar of name and shame, self-respect and dignity. Showing these ways and pointing to the cause and signs of these pests, in the form of tales, examples and poems have come in the works of mystics particularly Attar, Moulana and Abusaid-Abulkheir which will be discussed in this article.

Kalam and mysticism are very important in Islamic sciences. Although they have different methodology and each introduces the religious topics in its own way, they share lots of subjects. Baha Walad, who is a sixth century mystic, is one of the mystics whose unique work, “Maaref” represents the only clues that help to know his scientific and spiritual character, and in this work in addition to presenting mystic thoughts, he has mentioned some beleifs and Kalami thoughts. Baha Walad following mystical method has introduced Kalami topics as a mystic and an Ashʿari scholar, and he paid attention to find solutions for religious problems regarding some principles like monotheism, names and attributes of God, theological determinism and free will, possibility of visiting god, multiplicity of religions,… .

Mystical literature has always been accompanied by secrets and mysteries; and understanding the concepts, interpretations, terms and themes mentioned in mystical poems and proses such as theological themes has never been easy since they are mixed with special symbols and allegories. The elements of mystical literature, though not that complicated, bring up deep questions in mind, for which finding the answers requires true understanding of mystical, religious and theological insights of the authors. Attar is one of those mystic poets who has incorporated his beliefs and religious attitudes with a mystical virtue in all his works. Using a descriptive-analytical method, assuming that Attar’s mystical thoughts are incorporated with his theological thoughts, this paper tries to investigate the effects of different theological schools on the intellectual and mystic basis of monotheism (Tawhid) theme in Attar’s works with respect to his well-known four Masnavi books. The results show that the influence of theological issues on these works is too much that any account of Attar’s works without learning about his theological insights would be incomplete. However, it would be useless to insist on assigning him to one specific theological school. Manuscript profile

Is the existence and agency of human life in Islamic mysticism is a worthless shell? Does the belief in the Absolute Existence leave no room for the notion of human existence? Can the position of humanity be considered so high as if the human being is all of existence and everything except him is the image and imagination that exists in the mirror of the human heart and mind? In mystical works, the curious researcher can search for signs of anti-humanism as well as humanim.The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate the status of mankind in the universe based on the Islamic mystical worldview. Therefore, this study tries to explain this position, according to the works of two Islamic scholars, Ibn Arabi and Imam Khomeini. The basis of this explanation is the topic of avoiding the destruction of the monument of humanity in the Yunessieh chapter of Fosus al-Hekam and a commentary of it by Imam Khomeini in his mystical works. It is clear from the statements of Ibn al-'Arabi and his commentators that all beings are sacred because they are the manifestation of God. So when we look at mankind, or even look at the world of plants and animals, we see them all in relation to the Creator, not as an independent entity. This view awakens one's conscience and cultivates love and affection for all beings. Manuscript profile

According to the Islamic mysticism, the death is the main path to the truth recognition and connection to it.Death frees the soul from the cage of the body and gives meaning to life and defines his/her purpose; Hence, death is the fruit of life.This kind of thought is also in some myths. Rumi is one of the mystics who has used mythological ideas in drawing the image of death.The current paper explored the death metaphors in Rumi's Masnavi using the conceptual metaphor method and theory to figure out the relationship between Rumi's thought about death and mythical ideas as well as the role of mythical beliefs in defining the path of mystical conduct.We found that Rumi, like most mystics, has recognized and dealt (especially the death of immortality) in the context of the "journey back and up to the Principle / God / Truth" and through this, has opened the path of mystical conduct and has introduced death as a method of the truth recognition and mysticism attainment with shown its key role in the process of receiving divine knowledge and mystical conduct.The basis of this metaphor is the principle of the duality of soul and body in the belief in the duality of the ancient Iranians, which spread in the region of West Asia and North Africa and southern Europe until it emerged from Plato's "The theory of Forms".

Images of God are the result of the efforts of the human mind to understand better the mysterious and sacred existence.One of the most prominent images of God in the infinite range of human imagination is the "God of the Farmer" from whom we can call God's action in agriculture. This image, inside of the images of the realm of herbages makes the aspect of God's action in creation objective and tangible.God's activity in agriculture in texts that contain images for God, despite its dynamic presence, has undergone several changes. The present article has been reviewed this image in mythology, sacred texts and mysticism with a descriptive-analytical method and with the approach of metaphorical analysis. In mythology, the creation of God in the work of the goddess of fertility and the god of plant death is explained in the form of the rotation of seasons. In the sacred texts, this action is assigned to Ahuramazda, Yahweh, the God of the Father and Allah, in accordance with the context of each text, and in mysticism, this action is depicted in a diverse and comprehensive way with human focus.The results of the study showed; this image has passed a rotational journey from nature outside to nature within man and from objective nature to nature. In addition, the expansion of God's authority and dominion over the world and man is one of the things that can be seen in the transformation of this image. Manuscript profile

The main issue in all the Sufi tricks is Kramat. Kramat are unknown or less known phenomena that have hidden and supernatural causes. Neglecting the recognition, definition, classification and the mystical foundations of them, has led many to deny these facts. One of the necessary preconditions for the recognition of Kramat is its various classification methods. The classification of a phenomenon that human beings can not understand the causes of its causes is a complicated subject that has been addressed by mystics, Sufis and scholars. However, it has not been reported in the mystical texts of the scientific and comprehensive classification of Kramat. Most of these texts are dedicated to enumeration of Kramat samples. Kramat Sometimes classified up against contrary to habits and sometimes among themselves. The present study is devoted to the classification of Kramat among themselves and studied in more than fifteen new and old classifications of different dignity. Manuscript profile

Human inner can have three states; psychological, mystical and satanic states. Cognition of these states, especially mystical and satanic states has been one of the important topics of mystical epistemology, and the mystics themselves have been awared in this matter. Teresaof Avila (1515-1582 AD) and JalālaldīnRūmī (604-672 AH) have more or less dealt with this matter in their works. Extracting and comparing the opinions of these two mystics can help more in recognition of the true and false mystical states.The study of this issue showed that both mystics consider the God as the main source of the true mystical state and the devil and the illusion of man as the source of false stateandemerge the consolations to human beings can be given withthemysticalstates; which are also divided into two categories: mystical and satanic. Apparently Teresa and Rumi both believe that genuine status can be realize to the future, but the false states remain in the realm of mental or expressive matters. Teresa's speeches are more precise and slight than Rumi in this feild.Both mystics suggest personal testing in some cases to distinguish true states from false states; That is, until the person himself hasn’t spent through such states, he can not recognize other cases.In this feild, Rumi mentions the authenticity recognition of a mystical state through another mystical state, which is similar to Teresa’s idea. According to both mystics, real statefrees the human from the captivity of the world, whereas the false statecaptureshuman into the world and carnal desires. Enjoying the criterions of the lack clarity of inductions, false, (locution) and their similarity to the dream, the availability of false state and far from the availability of mystical states and the possibility of verifying them in prayer and supplication can help in recognizing these states. Unexpected, the non-attribution of pure states to oneself and turning one's attention to God, reinforcing morality and religiosity are the indicators of mystical states. Manuscript profile

What is the truth and dignity of man as manifestation of the divine name of the cosmic world? The ontology of Islamic mysticism is based on the personal unity of existence and the multiplicity of appearances of existence. What is the effect of this look on mystical anthropology? According to this view, there is an absolute existence, which has manifested numerous manifestations and has perfected itself in detail. The truth of man is the first absolute determination or the first appearance of the transcendence, but man (complete), in addition to the first determination, is also present in other modes of being, and therefore, unlike the first determination, and contrary to other general and partial definitions, the unity of truth is manifested And give her countless compromises. Human being is the only advent of the Imam which is the right to assimilate all the names and attributes of God, and equivocal (without one over another), and so to speak, is the divination between the truth and the creation or interruption of unity and plurality.

One of the salient features of mystical poems is the expression of lofty mystical thoughts by using mystical reciprocal elements. These reciprocalities are mainly derived from the experiences and inner revelations of mystical poets who have expressed them by dying from the material world and receiving the truth. Asiri Lahiji is one of the mystic poets of the ninth century AH, whose reciprocal elements are well reflected in his poems; This means that he has defined his mystical experiences in the form of paradoxical themes for the audience, and this important thing is rooted in his intellectual contemplation and expresses his practical mysticism. Among his poems, his lyric poems contain long mystical themes in which the poet describes them in a paradoxical way. The main purpose of this descriptive-analytical research is to investigate mystical contrasts in Lahiji captive lyric poems. The results of the research show that the difference between reason and love, pain and treatment, connection and sorrow, unity and plurality, essence and attributes, names and attributes, manifestations of romantic and ascetic Sufism, annihilation and survival, existence and non-existence are the most frequent reciprocal themes in these lyric poems. They are poets. In all cases, each of the reciprocal elements complements the opposite element; In other words, these reciprocal themes seem to contradict each other, but inwardly they are one and pursue the same goal.

In the present study, the perfect human being and his existential values in Golshan Razn Masnavi of Sheikh Mahmoud Shabestari and the Golden Dynasty of Abdolrahman Jami are studied and compared descriptively-analytically. Since both poets are influenced by theoretical mysticism and the views of Mohi al-Din Ibn Arabi, in fact, these works are discussed from the perspective of theoretical mysticism, which is the product of Ibn Arabi's thoughts. In theoretical mysticism, the main purpose of creating the universe is the perfect man, and the perfect man is the place of all the designs of the divine names, and in fact the universe was created because of him. The results show that there are many similarities in the above topics, including the themes of Muhammadan truth, the attribution of the perfect man to the attributes of the Almighty, the unity of existence, rank and status of the perfect man in the mystical ideas of Golshan Raz in the eighth century and the Golden Dynasty.

Someone who has been able to use the forms of Persian poetry, especially Masnavi and ode in the service of mystical meanings and educational poetry. It is no exaggeration to say that Iranian mystical poetry owes its position and rank to Sanai genius. He is a poet with a clear spirit, who confronts God, man and society not through the religiosity of the congregation, but through his own religion and his own perception. Whereas the poets of his time, usually in the courts, praised the kings and lords of force and gold, and were constant servants of the sultans, and their lives were secured by receiving peace; Sanai, with his unique ideas, has criticized the unhealthy situation of his time. This research has studied and classified the influential intellectual principles in Sanai's poetry and worldview. Manuscript profile

From the point of view of Muslims, after the Holy Quran, the hadiths of the Infallibles (AS) are the most important heritage of Islam. This precious treasure is considered by various Islamic sects, including Muslim mystics. Mystics have their own principles in dealing with hadith. In some cases, differences in their basis with the scholars of hadith have caused differences. So that sometimes mystics have been attributed to forging and distorting hadiths. It seems that the analysis of hadiths by mystics with accurate scientific methods paves the way for understanding their principles and rules in the face of hadiths. This study examines seven hadiths considered by Muslim mystics in 110 mystical sources. Attempts have been made to analyze these hadiths quantitatively and qualitatively using modern research methods. The findings of the research show that some mystical hadiths are more considered by mystics and citation of these hadiths is abundant in mystical sources. Manuscript profile

According to the Islamic view, the principle is based on the Human civilization has led to current crises, one of which is the crisis of spirituality and the neglect of man's relationship with God, and man, proud of his scientific achievements, has devoted all his efforts to work, capital and prosperity. Now, after five centuries, he has realized that material prosperity and comfort can not comfort him, and to fill this gap, he has turned to ancient and emerging mysticism, including Indian, Buddhist, Indian, and so on. This article seeks to study Islamic mysticism and emerging mysticism through analytical, descriptive and comparative methods, and in contrast to the views of rivals who have expressed the theory of objectivity and contradiction, has accepted the theory of conformity and aspect. Expresses their differences and similarities and in the field of their commonalities, conclusions have been reached which are that both mysticism, in order to heal the psychological and beautiful sufferings of seeing the world and tolerating everything and total peace and speech From love and happiness and peace and humiliation of a partial intellect, they have been contemporaneous with each other; But instinctability, not instinctualism, orbital duty instead of irresponsibility, responding to the basic needs of human beings instead of secondary needs, truth-seeking instead of superstition, are the distinguishing features of Islamic mysticism in comparison with emerging mysticisms.

Mehdi Najafzadeh**** Herat was formerly one of the important centers of Islamic thought and power withinthe Khorasan school. This city has been the place of emergence of great scientists and thinkers throughout the history. During the period of Timurids (14th century C.E.), connection of thought and power eventually led to the emergence of the political school of Herat. Abdur Rahman Jami, as the leader of this school, played an undeniable role in the growth and excellence of Herat's political school. Jami was an intellectual mentor who made the interaction of mysticism and politics possible for the first time in the history of Islam. The Timurid power system and court was soon influenced by Jami's thought and crystallized in the behavior and actions of political agents in the context of the society .This article seeks to answer the question of what constituted Jami's political thought that helped shape the political school of Herat? This article, with the goal-legitimacy framework of "John Murrow" and Quentin Skinner's interpretive hermeneutic method, aims to examine the most important concepts produced by Jami's thought thatentered into the political system of his era by him and his students.

In the relationship between the two sciences in the realm of principles, both sciences are interdependent. The subject of Imami theology is monotheism, prophethood and Imamate, which is the basis for the subject of Shiite mysticism, which is monotheism and guardianship. The method of research in theoretical mysticism is intuition, analysis and argument. The end of mysticism and theology is the attainment of God, which also leads to a deepening of the view of the end of theology. Epistemological topics and the necessity of knowing Hazrat Haqq are the principles of both sciences. Mystical intuitive knowledge is the basis of the occult knowledge of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the divine prophets, and the cultivation of the mystical soul is the basis of the infallibility of the prophets and imams. The two sciences of Imami theology and Shiite mysticism, in the field of principles and foundations, should be compared comparatively to explain the points of community and differentiation, this matter has been less considered so far. Seeks to study the relationship between Imami theology and Shiite mysticism in the realm of principles and foundations, and finally came to the conclusion that in the realm of principles and foundations, both are based on verses and hadiths, both rely on the monotheistic spirit, the thematic approach of the two It is common to many things, and ... although there are differences in this area, which include an intuitive and empirical approach to mysticism as opposed to theology, the mission of these two sciences is different in guidance.

Explanation and criticism of the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Win Dyer's thought based on the spiritualism of the Holy Quran. The present article is a descriptive study that was carried out with the aim of explaining and criticizing the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Wayne Dyer's thought based on the spiritualism of the Holy Quran. In this research, the method of scientific analogy (inferential) and lens comparison or isometric analysis and comparative criticism based on Keri Walk's point of view have been used. In this research, the researcher seeks to answer these questions: What criticism is there on the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism from the point of view and thought of Wayne Dyer based on the spiritualism of the Holy Quran? What are the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Wayne Dyer's thought? With regard to Quranic spiritualism, what criticisms are there on the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Wayne Dyer's thought? What are the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Wayne Dyer's thought? With regard to Quranic spiritualism, what criticisms are there on the educational consequences of humanistic mysticism with an emphasis on Wayne Dyer's thought? The results show that humanistic mysticisms, reflecting on the one-dimensional and one-dimensional world, which place humans in the center of attention, are considered important achievements of humanists. Of course, Islamic teachings have ordered its application in the lives of Muslims; On the other hand, in the contemporary era, spiritual therapy became one of the trends that attracted attention in the field of health and mental health. Thinkers like Wayne Dyer, having a positive attitude towards life and using a spiritual aspect of human beings, gave double importance to the category of spirituality; But since the view of "spirituality minus religion" has dominated them, they have pointed out wrong perceptions in the interpretation of spirituality and its practical effectiveness. Spirituality will be effective and stable when it is taken from its true and real purpose; Both from an empirical point of view and the Holy Qur'an has emphasized and clarified in its teachings that the role of religion and spirituality arising from it in the mental health and well-being of people cannot be ignored. Since the divine nature of man is divine and he has a divine soul, spiritual psychology will be successful if it pays attention to the frameworks necessary to strengthen the human spirit, which is the category of religion-oriented ethics.

The straight path is one of the most important topics mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). Imam Khomeini (RA) also spoke about it both in the language of the masses and mystically in his statements and writings. They consider human happiness to be in a straight path and to move and grow in this sublime path. In this descriptive-analytical research, "the truth of the direct path from the mystical perspective of Imam Khomeini (RA)" has been explained. The importance of the real and royal meaning and the mystical behavior of the Imam showed the scientific research about the truth of Sarat to be necessary and necessary. Because until that royal truth is not revealed, it is not possible to go to its examples, and also the lack of understanding of the truth of the path will lead to the multiplicity of paths. Truths are like stomachs, speaking about one truth is not a denial of another truth. If the truth of the path is Tawheed and Wilayat, these two things are not separate from each other, and if the path is drawn in the world, it is actually the correct path of Tawheed and accepting Wilayat. In the words of Imam Khomeini (RA), the direct path of legislation, which is the continuation of the path of development, starts from the realm of the tangible world and is stretched until the meeting with God, which is the final destination, and when the veils are removed in the world of the hereafter, this path is a tangible bridge. It will be seen on hell. In fact, the hereafter path is the embodiment of the worldly path. In Arghani's view, Imam Khomeini's Inna Allah wa Inna Ilyeh Rajjoon and Asfar Arba'ah actually refer to the straight path. In this spiritual journey, people reach the truth of the path with the help of the guides of the straight path. Manuscript profile

in this paper, it is attempted to highlight the ancient living Iranian thoughts which have entered the Muslims’ mysticism. The current paper has a subject-oriented method and does not address the historical relations of thoughts. In other words, the purpose is not to delineate the identity of ideas. Rather, it is attempted to trace these ideas in ancient Iran. In addition, to avoid a confusion of ideas as well as a historical survey of the circulation of mystical ideas amongst the mystics, only Ibn Arabi’s mysticism (as a point of theoretical mysticism amongst the Muslims at which mystical ideas are systematically conjoined) was selected and discussed in this paper. In addition, the term ‘theoretical’ tends to omit ‘practical’ mysticism. In this paper, some of the macro-notions which are the foundations of the Muslims’ mysticism including names and attributes, immutable entities and the world of imagination, the perfect man, and the oneness of being (which is the heart of these concepts) are investigated. Before this, their parallel correspondences in Iranian philosophy, i.e. Amesha Spentas, Zurvan, Faravahars, and the primitive man are discussed. It will be concluded from all these discussions that the main foundations of the Muslims’ mysticism are more or less a exegesis to Iranian philosophy. Manuscript profile

The seven stages of mysticism are among the most important and thought-provoking topics in mystical cirrhosis. Examining and understanding their meaning and concept, the seeker and the path of the truth helps to follow this path with more awareness. Provide mystics and Sufis. Also, clarifying the concepts of each of these officials according to the views of Attar and Rumi and expressing how these concepts are used in mystical and moral stories are two other goals of this research. Showed that in some cases the views of Attar and Rumi are different. Sufis and mystics each have opposing views on the journey to God and meeting God. What arose at the beginning of the official emergence of Western-influenced Sufism in Iran and its sphere of ritual and linguistic influence until it reached Rumi and Attar, although beautiful in appearance and constantly in conflict with the Shari'a, is an amalgam of philosophical views. Greek and eclectic were other ideas, forming parallel and sometimes contradictory currents, which played a significant role in the continuation of Sufism.. Manuscript profile

The innovations and innovations of Rumi, the famous Iranian poet and mystic, have made him especially prominent among Iranian poets. The symbolism of cities, in his works, is one of his most beautiful works. In a general division, the symbolic cities mentioned in Rumi's works can be classified into two categories: "City of Light" and "City of Darkness". In Suhrawardi's works, the same procedure can be seen in the form of Suhrawardi's allegories and specific symbols. This research, which is based on the theory of comparative literature, shows that two prominent Iranian thinkers, while benefiting from Iranian and Islamic sources, have created different contexts from the perspective of symbolism.

Due to his truth-seeking nature, man has made a huge effort to convince himself of knowledge, which is the result of these four knowledges: science, art, philosophy and mysticism. Among these teachings, mysticism is considered one of the most popular teachings. An achievement that some people have considered as a way to achieve the truth of a promise, another as an excuse to achieve their goals. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of human knowledge under the title of emerging spiritualities in creating temporary and spiritual challenges in society. This research, which was carried out by descriptive analytical method and using library resources, seeks to briefly introduce, express the goals and objectives of emerging spiritualities and explain the danger of such pseudo-mystics for the Taliban of true mysticism. mysticisms that have targeted the real power components of society. Also, this article has paid attention to the introduction of true mysticism and the place of man. It must be said that presenting the correct understanding of true knowledge prevents the mystics and apparent mystics from being able to attack the tent of divine knowledge and its Taliban with the white flag of mystical deception, and place their non-mystics instead of mystics in the hearts and minds of the unacquainted Taliban. The results of the research show that behind the curtain of newly emerging religious movements in Iranian society, there are unlucky intentions, the promoters of these spiritualities are unwarranted and deceitful people, destroying beliefs, promoting corruption instead of mysticism, legitimizing corruption and disobedience instead of spirituality are among the actions that the supporters of these movements in They follow between disciples and society.
