Abstract :

The present research uses a descriptive-analytical method to explain Rumi's view on determinism, free will and the positions of agreement and disagreement without preference over each other which leads to a coherent study in accordance with our religious principles between mysticism and verses. The belief in "fate and predestination" stems from the belief in the principle of general causality in the world. According to this belief, in the universe, every phenomenon has a cause and a measure, and nothing comes into being without a cause and without a definite measure. The purpose of this research is to study predestiation (Qadha and Qadar) in verses and hadiths from Rumi's point of view. In Rumi's Masnavi, the relationship between reason and fate is emphasized in a beautiful and appropriate way. Rumi, like his predecessors, does not have a single and tangible idea of reason, fate, and value, so in his famous work, Masnavi Manavi, he explains this issue.
