Abstract :

In Islamic mysticism, the world has always been demonstrated as the unpleasant and deceitful image. This attitude is consistent with what is observed in other mystical schools, but what makes the audience review this attitude is the undeniable parallelism that ties the views expressed on Islamic mysticism with how the world is somehow addressed in some Islamic texts In this regard, we can witness that the mystics' attempts to establish a link between certain concepts and some evidences on the world which eventually represents the gloomy side of the world, such as deception, hostility, and so on. In addition, the devil makes the most possible relation with the world. Because the evil elements that with their assistance together made the dismissal of Adam from heaven are along with the devil in relation with the world, one can come to the conclusion that the argument arrived at are derived from Islamic teachings because the motif is derived from the Koran, just as there are some verses and traditions as the evidence emphasizing on this theory
