Abstract :

  Ethics is a human concept, and since literature is a means of representing categories related to humanity, we have witnessed widespread reflection in literary texts. Islamic mysticism is one of the intellectual and cognitive styles that describe and define the ethics for which it is defined. The Sufis, using a variety of tools, especially poetry, have expressed their most important ethical thoughts and teachings, including Jami and Feiz Kashani. These two students of Ibn Arabi school of mysticism have discussed ethical humanistic attributes in the Sonnets that will be examined and compared in this study, using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study show that two poets have spoken about "abandonment of selfishness, desirable love, altruism, worldliness, blasphemy, hypocrisy, silence and blasphemy and worldly blasphemy." It also turned out that Jami'ah had mentioned cases of "repentance and avoidance of persecuted people", and Feiz Kashani had spoken of "the necessity of performing rituals, the welfare of a good friend and the neglect of blasphemy." In sum, the ethical recommendations of the poets are rooted in two sources of Islam and Islamic mysticism and are thus defined in one respect.
