Abstract :
The ontology of marriage is discussed as one of the important epistemological foundations in the formation of the family in the school of Islamic mystics and with regard to marriage in names and finally in the human world. Tankah in the mystical system is depicted in a way that explains how to create multiple units. This repentance requires activity and passivity that flows throughout the universe; From the divine essence to the material world. What causes this rebirth in the whole universe is love and affection. Divine love is the cause of the creation of names, and being active and capable in the divine matter and the natural system is the cause of the creation, and acceptance of the divine matter, by the natural world. In Islamic mysticism, marriage is a suitable context for self-improvement and service to the family and personal and spiritual excellence because mystics consider earthly love as a necessary path to achieve divine love. In this research, first the divine names and attributes have been discussed and then, from the perspective of Islamic mysticism; Its extension in the human world, and between men and women ْ in the matter of marriage; Has been analyzed. Considering that one of the challenges of modern life is a mechanical view of the issue of marriage, by explaining the principles of Islamic mysticism, we can consider a marriage in which the element of lust is involved, a meaningful and sacred relationship, taking into account feelings and emotions. Which is original in itself and causes the polishing of the soul and physical health and spiritual promotion.
