Abstract :

  The separation of science and spirituality has estranged man from the intuitional and mystic view to the world, and it has led to much spiritual damage, including hopelessness, meaninglessness, anxiety, alienation, and egocentrism. This article tries to show that man can overcome these misfortunes by relying on Islamic mysticism and especially on the thoughts of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi (1155- 1191), philosopher, Sufi and founder of the Illuminationist philosophy.
