Abstract :

Rumi's works are full of stories and anecdotes through which one can acquire some knowledge of his own mystical experiences. Rumi's mystical experiences could be divided into three categories: experiencing the divine nature, the truth of man and the spiritual practice, each is connected to three different fields of theology, i.e., God, man and their relations. Rumi, as a Muslim mystic, has faced with the world and experienced it as a dynamic and spiritual phenomenon. In fact, mystical experience usually confirms the religious beliefs of the mystic and the mystic tries to establish a link between what he observes and what he believes. Therefore, the mystical experience has a strong influence on the spiritual and worldly life of the mystic.
