Abstract :
Instructions and doctrines of Ahl al-Bayt is one of the original sources of Islamic mysticism and the effects of mystical texts are evident in this field. The fluency and strenuosity that lies within the word and edifications of Imam Ali(peace be upon him) has made Persian-speaking writers to attire their works with his words for a long time(since a long time ago). Ahmad Ghazali, one of the leading writers in mysticism is influenced by, in particular, the words of Imam Ali (AS) in his works. In this study, different kinds of Persian works of Ahmad Ghazali, influenced by the word of Imam Ali (AS), are explained through factual documentary quotations. Effectiveness of Persian works of Ahmad Ghazali from Imam's (AS) words is mostly in an interpretation and adaptation style. Since the sources of Islamic mysticism and its relation to the school of Ahl al-Bayt have always been discussed, this research could, for example, indicate the influence of the instructions of Ahl al-bayt on the Islamic mysticism.
