Abstract :
One of the things addressed in MasnaviManavi is the amazing, critical, and exciting topic of death. Contributed by Islamic and mystical education, Mowlanahas explained and discussed that and has done his share on time related issue dedicated to those who make a time trip. The necessity to that is the fact that the existence, reason, and philosophy of death should be scrutinized mystically and religiously as one of the important passage of the life of human being and it should be clarified for mystics that not only death is not destruction but also it is a birth which is not sorrowful but removing the veil between the lover and the beloved. In other words, death is like linking the lover to the beloved. Death is a test and a benchmark for lovers of God. Mowlana has explained the unknown and obnoxious death in a pleasant way and has emphasized that there is nothing in creation which is made without philosophy.
